Raven Development Services views the project planning and site logistics as an absolute critical key to a successful project. Our approach is consultative, and we work closely with both our clients and the manufacturer/supplier right from the project concept phase. Our experience with manufacturing, transportation and site logistics all play an important part in making the project successful. We understand that each project is unique, and each project requires individual attention to fully realize the inherent benefits of modular construction and realize the benefits to the end user. There is no one boiler plate planning and logistical plan for all projects, and flexibility and experience are required to ensure the best plan for the individual project is applied.

Our team works with owners and designers and manufacturers to evaluate all aspects of the construction project, and minimize the variables that often time hinder efficient site construction. This planning includes manufacturing plant visits to inspect the products prior to shipment, and identifying laydown areas to minimize transport risk. Complete craning plans are developed in conjunction with crane company management that maximizes site efficiency and minimizes crane moves. All modules are carefully staged to ensure that the correct module is assessable when required and eliminate time wasting double handling of modules on site.

Attention to detail is the key to a successfully managed project, and Raven Development Services extensive experience in all facets of a modular construction project ensures that detailed and comprehensive management plans are in place well in advance of the start of construction, and are adhered to throughout the project. Sub trades are carefully vetted, with attention paid to their past projects and reliability, as well as to their safety record and performance. Each sub-trade is required to provide copies of their safety manual, proof of their WCB and insurance standing, and undergo a pre-hiring interview wherein their suitability for the project is determined. Safety is a critical component of Project Management, and Raven Development Services requires any sub-trade to maintain exacting safety protocols.
