About Current Page: Work Services Going up. Care Medical Nautilus Medical Properties, LLC Bellingham, Washington Care Medical is a 10,000 SF clinic complete with procedure and exam rooms to support urgent care, occupational and family medicine, as well as radiology and physical therapy services. Erected under a Design-Build contract, Care Medical is a beautiful and modern rendition of a traditional wood-framed building. The facility is the product of trust and collaboration between the architect, contractor and owner, for whom this building was unchartered territory. Close teamwork yielded an economical building that maintained design integrity and quality. RAM delivered the building on a condensed schedule within 1% of our estimate. All American Marine Port of Bellingham Bellingham, Washington In making a successful transition from a specialty boat builder focused on commercial fishing boats to manufacturing aluminum vessels of all types, All American Marine, located on 2.2 acres at Bellingham’s Squalicum Harbor, needed more space. As General Contractor, RAM managed all aspects of this 57,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, from site preparation to building construction. Construction was complicated by the fact that the site was burdened with 46,000 cubic yards of stockpiled material from an earlier Port of Bellingham dredging project. Post removal of stockpiled soils, RAM installed rammed aggregate pier ground improvements, and a Landfill Gas control system to serve as environmental cap for new building construction. An accelerated timeline required careful management of the schedule and coordination with the numerous trades and tenant’s equipment installation. Project Scope also included supply and erection of structural steel, full exterior site work, sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, landscaping, lighting and fencing. Fairhaven Tower Alliance Properties Bellingham, Washington Under construction: This 42,555 SF mixed used building will pay tribute to the once iconic Fairhaven Hotel. The first floor consists of 6,555 SF of commercial space with the top four floors for residential living. The building exterior will meet all Fairhaven Design Committee Standards and will complement the ornate design of the Fairhaven community. Construction consists of a slab on grade foundation, with a structural concrete podium and wood framing on floors two through five. Site improvements include retaining walls, guardrails, gated structured parking, landscaping, bike racks, sidewalks, street lighting and pedestrian ramps. The project also includes utility and site prep for the future Fairhaven Tower Phase II, due to break ground in Fall 2020. The Fairhaven Tower project is scheduled for completion in the Fall of 2020. Despite a three week delay for contaminated soils removal and a multiple month, COVID-19 shutdown, the RAM team has found efficiencies enabling the project to be ready for occupancy in September. Hope House Reconstruction Catholic Community Services NW Bellingham, Washington Hope House Reconstruction consisted of demolishing an existing structure and constructing a new single story, 2,789 SF multi-purpose facility for use by Catholic Community Services. The facility consists of 500 SF of business area for intake and administration and 2,000 SF of mercantile storage and distribution space. Construction specifications and design followed the Habitat for Humanity energy efficiency options such as reduced lighting power, zoned heat, and increased thermal efficiency via staggered stud exterior walls. RAM Construction delivered the Hope House project significantly under the original budget and contract amount. There were approximately $12,000 in contract revisions, including additional casework, automated restroom fixtures, window blinds, bathroom venting and sidewalks. The final contract amount included the contract revisions and a significant cost savings to the owner. The project was highlighted in Design Cost Data Magazine as an example of contractors giving back to the community. GPC Drycast Building Granite Precasting and Concrete, Inc. Bellingham, Washington This design/build project involved a Pre-Engineered Steel Varco Pruden industrial building designed for a 20-ton overhead crane with a 25-foot clear hook height and a 10-ton overhead crane to be installed at a later date. The building enclosed a state-of-the-art concrete pipecasting machine that required a twelve-foot-deep mechanical pit to locate a section of the equipment. RAM installed de-watering wells to keep the mechanical pit dry while the digging and pouring the pit foundation and walls to mitigate the site’s high water table, and constructed a ten-foot, cast-in-place retaining wall on the north property line of the building to address an elevation difference with the adjacent business. The retaining wall allows the neighbor to expand in the future and forms the wall base of the building, with six-inch thick by fourteen-foot high precast concrete panels on the other three sides. RAM sequenced all work to occur in the confines of the concrete yard so as not to disrupt GPC’s day-to-day business or delay the new building construction. Project Scope: demolition of old building and slab on site, installation of utilities, design of new building, hiring subs for structural engineering and permits, preparation and pouring the foundations, erecting the steel building, and installing the walls and roof sheeting.
