1: RESEARCH & UNDERSTAND

At RBS, we don’t rush to prescribe solutions or use a one size fits all approach. We start by asking questions, listening, walking your site, and gathering data & insights. Our technical team conducts comprehensive inspections, evaluates roof and building systems, and benchmarks your facility against best practices. We analyze risks, identify vulnerabilities, and map priorities based on potential impact to your operations. For industrial facilities, this means considering more than just visible wear or surface conditions: we assess how failures could affect production uptime, safety, compliance, and costs. Whether it’s a food-grade facility facing CFIA inspection or a manufacturing line where downtime costs millions of dollars, we pinpoint where investment makes the most sense.

Our approach is guided by one simple question: what would we want to know if this was our building?

The outcome of this stage is clarity, a thorough technical assessment that sets the tone for informed decision-making throughout the entire process.

2: DEFINE RISKS & SCOPE

Once we know the lay of the land, we focus on what matters most. Not all problems carry the same weight, and industrial facilities especially demand careful prioritization. We evaluate risks through the lens of safety, compliance, production uptime, and cost exposure. Food processors, for example, face CFIA inspections that can halt operations; manufacturers must prevent failures that risk fire, contamination, or downtime. By outlining what’s critical, what’s urgent, and what can be planned into a longer horizon, we help you make decisions with clarity. At this stage, we merge the realities of roof and building condition with the business case and your operational priorities, so that scope is defined not only by what needs fixing, but by what makes the most sense for your facility. This stage begins to empower facility management teams: risks are not just identified, they’re contextualized. And scope isn’t just a list of repairs — it’s a roadmap shaped around your operational realities, giving you the confidence that every recommendation has purpose behind it.

3: DESIGN OPTIMIZATION

With priorities defined, RBS applies technical expertise to develop and value engineer solutions that balance performance, compliance, and cost. Our team evaluates materials, assemblies, and methods against industry standards and regulatory demands, always asking whether this is the decision we’d make for our own assets.

We look for ways to enhance efficiency, minimize disruption, and add resilience without overbuilding or underdelivering.

The “value” here isn’t about cutting corners; it’s about maximizing performance for every dollar spent. By the end of this stage, you have a solution designed not just to fix today’s problems, but to deliver reliable performance and minimize emergencies for years ahead.

4: PRESENT & ALIGN

At this stage, RBS converts analysis and engineering into a clear, actionable plan. We present proposals that include scopes of work, drawings, budgets, schedules, and three-year maintenance and capital outlooks. More importantly, we align with your priorities. We walk you through options, highlight trade-offs, and ensure you understand not only what we recommend, but why. Our presentations are designed to help you communicate upward — whether to boards, parent companies, or investors or private equity stakeholders; with confidence and credibility. This isn’t about pushing a single path; it’s about aligning technical solutions with your business objectives so that decisions feel both smart and safe. Clients consistently tell us this stage brings clarity: they know what’s ahead, how it will be managed.

5: BUILD & DELIVER

At RBS, we deliver construction with the same discipline we applied to assessment and design. Our teams coordinate trades, materials, cranes, safety, and quality controls to ensure work is completed exactly as scoped.

For industrial clients, this means phasing projects around production schedules, protecting clean environments, and maintaining compliance throughout. We manage surprises openly, always balancing decisions against cost, downtime, and safety. The “deliver” part of this stage isn’t just about installing systems; it’s about delivering confidence. You can rely on us to build as if it were our property.

We don’t cut corners, we don’t disappear, and we don’t compromise our integrity. We do answer our phones.

We are pre-established with vendor compliance platforms such as ISNetworld & Avetta. We carry $15,000,000 General Commercial Liability insurance. For larger projects, bonding and wrap-up insurance policies can be underwritten to provide an added layer of risk protection.  Every detail is treated with the same seriousness we would expect on our own properties.

6. SUSTAIN & MAINTAIN

RBS doesn’t disappear after construction; we remain invested in your facility’s performance. This stage ensures that solutions continue working as intended, backed by proactive maintenance and long-term planning. We revisit the three-year capital and maintenance plan, updating it as conditions evolve, so you’re always prepared.

We monitor performance, recommend adjustments, and provide ongoing service that preserves the integrity of your assets. Maintenance here isn’t reactive — it’s strategic, aimed at preventing failures before they disrupt operations.

The result is a facility that not only performs today but remains reliable tomorrow. By embedding ourselves in the long game, we give you peace of mind that your investment is protected, just as if we were managing it for ourselves.
