As a Design/Build specialist we require our subcontractors to not only be the preeminent craftsmen in their fields, but also have a creative sense that can carry out the most original of concepts. Fortunately we have just that in a second generation fabrication/machine shop who's owner embraces the challenge of making anything out of metal that is one of a kind. With the original design and concept being drawn by the GC's in house Designer they set to work on figuring a way to fabricate a rail system that would make jaws drop and imaginations stir.

The foundation of a Ruhmel home building is building science. We won't bore you with the rocket science definitions and theories. But in layman's terms, Ruhmel combines physics and sustainability best practices to design and construct homes that are naturally healthier, more durable, more sustainable and much more economical to operate than most other home construction. Teaming together THE strictest industry standards and with THE most innovative technologies in green construction today—a Ruhmel home—your future home—will be healthier (you can sniffle and sneeze less often), more comfortable (feel warmer and cooler), more sustainable (lasts longer)and more ecologically responsible.

Why has Ruhmel been the recipient of over 29 major Lehigh Valley Homebuilders Awards? We back up that commitment with a proprietary Home Building System. Striving to be one of the Lehigh Valley's Custom Building leaders, we at Ruhmel stress the importance of Energy Efficiency and Cost of Ownership with our clients who have been elated with the results.
