For 100 years, the Raffin Construction Company has built a legacy of excellence in the Chicagoland area. This legacy rests on four generations of the same family providing comprehensive and cost-effective construction expertise.
An owner's ability to control budget is a key factor in the choice of a general contractor in the commercial construction market place. Fortunately, because of Raffin Construction's engineering background, we specialize in value engineering solutions to budget problems. Also, through our project management software we track project costs throughout the duration of the project and communicate that throughout the project so the owner knows where he is at relative to his budget at any given time. Commercial work usually involves high end finishes.
How do you take your project from a set of plans to a reality? How do you take those plans and add concrete, steel, bricks, and mortar to create a functioning building? The answer is hiring a General Contractor who has experience providing construction services, managing communications, and coordinating subcontractors to bring the project to a successful completion. We've built solid relationships with our subcontractors. We use our experience and established relationships with our experienced stable of subcontractors to foresee possible future construction problems and preemptively deal with them.
Raffin Construction has been building with concrete for over 100 years. With that kind of history, there isn't a concrete challenge we haven't faced. Whether it's pouring a sidewalk for the entrance of a local church or pouring a foundation meant to support a 6,000-ton forging press, we can meet your concrete needs. Commercial customers need reliable service at a competitive price for their foundation and flatwork concrete projects. Raffin construction understands how important it is to deliver on time and within budget for commercial projects.
Commercial concrete is a Raffin Construction Company specialty. You might have a building project that you need to have the foundations and slabs constructed. Maybe your concrete is a composite deck infill on the 38th floor of a downtown high-rise building. Raffin Construction has been building with concrete for over a hundred years and after five generations we are still building it strong. Every building needs a solid foundation, and nothing is more solid than concrete. The purpose of a building foundation is to evenly distribute and transfer the weight, or load, of the building into the ground.
Commercial construction demands adherence to strict budgets and schedules and it's frustrating when projects spiral out of control in these areas. Raffin Construction prevents these problems up-front with careful estimate analysis and project scheduling/pre-planning. Our experienced team can also step in to bring unruly projects under control using our value engineering solutions. Raffin Construction uses our experience and engineering background to value engineer commercial projects to find creative solutions to cut time spent on jobs and prevent additional cost overruns without sacrificing construction quality.
Raffin has been providing concrete services for all of the five generations it has been in business. Our services range from floor infills and pads in high-use buildings in downtown Chicago to equipment foundations and pits in industrial manufacturing facilities. These projects have more in common than the use of concrete. Each project needs pre-activity planning, attention to construction details, and a high level of technical expertise. Our experience combined with our training as structural engineers give us the technical expertise our clients rely on.
Industrial General Contracting is a specialty service that requires experience in working in a heavy industrial environment. There are a few key factors that make industrial general contracting different from other markets. Heavy industrial environments have large equipment that is part of an industrial process to make machine parts, automobile parts, appliances, etc. These processes can be a dangerous work environment if you do not wear proper personal protective equipment, practice proper safety protocols, and have the proper safety training.
