What we do

From Concept to Completion.. RTI Consulting Inc. can help every step of the way



RTI Consulting is an experienced construction management team built with efficiency, sustainability and reliability in mind. Our construction management services specialize in project planning, budgeting, permitting, contract preparation and administration, construction oversight and more. Our team is committed to helping your projects be completed on time and within budget. Join us as we create and carry out innovative solutions in the construction industry.


General Approach 
We formulate a responsibility matrix so that lines of communication are known and information flows in an orderly and productive manner. Multiple projects can be easily managed as our Program/Senior Project Manager will work quickly to make sure that our team members are clear on the project requirements, their individual tasks and specific project responsibilities. Master construction schedules can be created to monitor multiple projects and assure focus is directed as needed. Our team’s unique blend of experience and strengths, including our approach to the process from concept to completion ensures efficient and smooth execution from project identification through construction completion. Key staff assigned in the development and pre-construction phase of the projects will be involved in varying degrees through completion in order to avoid a disruption in the flow of critical project information. The attention to detail that our team provides initially allows us to foresee issues with constructability, cost and schedule prior to reaching the construction phase. We work very diligently throughout the project to ensure that all team members (ours, the designers, the contractors, the Authority) have common goals and a complete understanding of the project expectations. This thorough understanding of the project parameters from conception through completion provides the Authority with the opportunity to reduce cost impacts to the project.
