Our team is highly experienced in constructing podium projects – in fact, R&H has built over 35 podium projects, including several in Central Oregon. We have built a strong reputation for our ability to build podium projects with the highest regard for quality, efficiency and safety. Our process begins with a well-thought-out, site-specific plan and a realistic construction schedule. The depth of our experience in podium projects helps us identify potential problems well before construction begins. We consult with design teams to make any needed corrections early in the design phase, which saves our owners money on rework later. This creates a more consistent construction flow, with minimal interruptions for each trade onsite.
R&H self-performed three floors of framing on the Legacy Landing project in Bend.
While constructing Legacy Landing, a three-over-one, mixed-use podium project in Bend, R&H self-performed the framing scope of the three floors of wood framing above the podium level. To speed the process, we utilized prefabricated panelized walls and floor sections throughout. This minimized the time our crews needed to work at heights and made a safer jobsite for all trades. We were able to perform more work with less crew members for the framing scope because we had a well-thought-out plan that was precisely executed.
R&H has constructed podiums during Central Oregon’s fall and winter seasons. Although the snow is fun to play in, it can be very difficult during construction on a jobsite. We plan ahead for weather challenges, make every effort to expedite critical milestones in the schedule in advance of weather and get creative with scheduling trades to keep our critical path moving forward. Often times, this comes down to people power. R&H has a strong crew of craftsworkers in Central Oregon that are able to self-perform and supplement trades as needed to get a project back on track after dealing with less than ideal weather on a jobsite.
While Central Oregon weather can throw some surprises at us, R&H plans ahead to ensure our crews and subcontractors can continue working towards the end goal – a quality project delivered on time and on budget… true precision in podium construction.
Legacy Landing was completed in Fall 2021.
Now complete, Legacy Landing provides 47 units of much-needed housing for low-income seniors within the Bend community, including thirty-nine one-bedroom homes and eight two-bedroom homes. On the ground floor, R&H completed a tenant improvement for Mosaic Medical, a local nonprofit medical organization, on the ground floor. The 14,000 s.f. clinic boasts 15 exam rooms, a pharmacy, conference rooms for group medical visits and team areas. Six apartments were set aside for qualifying patients of Mosaic Medical with chronic medical conditions that create barriers for independent living.
