Jack Rafn founded the Rafn Company in 1978 to consciously avoid the often times adversarial nature inherent to hard bid contracting. By personality and attitude, Jack was driven to a collaborative process in which shared goals and mutual commitment to the development process could achieve a successful, high quality, cost-effective outcome - and could continue to cultivate lasting friends. It was a novel and visionary idea that we have championed ever since. Initially, the renovation of historic buildings was the testing ground for this team approach with owners and architects, years before the industry bantered about the terms "partnering" and "team building".
Rafn's pre-construction services go well beyond providing estimates for construction. We begin by negotiating a customized proposal to fit the specific needs of the team. We guarantee you will receive value far in excess of the cost and our monthly status reports will illustrate this for you. Our project managers are involved in a project from the beginning of preconstruction services to the grand opening celebration. They are intimately involved with the projects estimating, planning, and scheduling from day one.
