Construction Today interviews Richter+Ratner CEO Marc Heiman about our innovative T.E.A.R. Review™ process.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION: A LOST ART
Not only does building company Richter + Ratner take pride in its role as a pioneer within the complexities of the building sector, but it is equally committed to ensuring excellence, efficiency and preservation of design for the building community. Its approach not only has a direct effect on its productivity and profitability; over time it has developed a system that permeates the process, from inception to completion, by instituting within the process a program called T.E.A.R. (Technical Evaluation Analysis and Recommendation). This is the ultimate designation of each professionals’ responsibilities in order to form the most efficient integration of a builder’s expertise into a streamlined approach. Using this method, they contribute to an efficient and effective process, which has been proven to lead project after project through a cohesive model, preserving design as the primary driving factor, coinciding with a cost-effective contribution of each party’s talents and professional obligation.
