The Mansfield Chamber Of Commerce’s recently added a 30-second corporate video produced for Ramtech to their corporate website. Developed in association with Rochester, New York-based CGI Communications, the video highlights Ramtech’s design-build capabilities and our three types of construction for relocatable modular buildings, and pier and beam and slab on grade permanent modular construction. Ramtech was fortunate to have had the Denver International Airport all-steel construction project online during the time the video was shot. Additionally, Ramtech employees and several finished photos of our more prominent projects were also used in the CGI narrated video. CGI Communications has an extensive track record of developing corporate videos as part of their Community Video Project, a program designed to streamline communication and strengthen communities through local economic development corporations and chambers of commerce throughout the country. The program provides, at no cost to the municipality, complete production services including script writing, filming, editing, music and voiceovers, as well as hosting and streaming of all the video content.

Ramtech Completes the First of Four New Pre-owned Sales Centers for Payne Auto Group
Ramtech Building Systems, Mansfield, TX has announced that the company has completed work on a new 2,880 square foot permanent modular building for Payne Auto Group. The new prefabricated building will be used as a pre-owned sales center at the auto dealership’s Harlingen, Texas location. An identical building is also planned for the company’s Edinburg, Texas location, along with two other permanent modular buildings slated for the dealership’s Mission and Brownsville Mitsubishi Dealerships. Using permanent modular construction with a concrete stem wall and grade beam foundation system, the latter two buildings will also function as showrooms with the capability to park two to three cars inside the buildings.
Ramtech Acquires BBB Accredited Business Certification
In late April Ramtech joined the Better Business Bureau and was immediately granted an Accredited Business Certification with an A+ rating. In Ramtech’s 35 year history, the BBB has yet to field a single compliant on Ramtech. This information was provided by the BBB at the time of the application and was astonishing to our business advisor considering Ramtech’s tenure and the litigious nature of the construction industry.
While this may be amazing to an outsider, it comes as no surprise to us. Our culture from day-one has been to “do-it-right” and exceed the customer’s expectations. In the commercial modular building industry, few companies have this outstanding track record. Whether it be Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) or relocatable buildings for education, government, medical or commercial applications, Ramtech’s team of designers, production associates as well as our construction group are poised to continue our sterling record of customer satisfaction.
Ramtech Awarded Modular Building Contract For Denver International Airport Terminal Expansion Project
Ramtech has been selected by the Denver International Airport to build a 38,920 square foot facility as part of the second phase of an upgrade to the airport’s Concourse A Commuter Facility. Ramtech worked with Wong Strauch Architects, PC in a design assist role on developing the Type-IIb modular structure. Ramtech will be responsible for the core and shell construction, including the exterior walls, doors, windows, the interior walls with gypsum board, required shear walls, complete floor and ceiling assemblies, and all the exterior wall and floor penetrations for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems required for the phase 2B work. Ramtech will also be responsible for the installation of the building which will be set on a pier foundation. The building will be built as a co-op effort with Ramtech and other local general contractors. RMD manufacturing will begin construction of the building the first week of May, with the module deliveries to the site starting in early June. The airport plans to use the new modular terminal for a minimum of 5 to 10 years while the permanent expansion of the airport’s Terminal A is developed.

Ramtech Welcomes Carl Crisp As New Site Superintendent
Ramtech is pleased to announce that Carl Crisp has joined our project management group as a site superintendent. Carl comes to Ramtech with over 16 years of extensive experience working in several aspects of the commercial modular construction industry. Carl began his career with Archer Daniels Midland in Kansas working with industrial coatings and hazmat related activities. In 2000 he joined Resun Leasing, at the time one of the country’s largest modular leasing companies.

Meet Ramtech’s Design Group
The following is a page that was recently added to all of Ramtech’s websites (www.ramtechmodular.com, www.ramtecheducation.com, and www.ramtechmedical.com). As a design-build modular provider that produces three distinct product lines (relocatable modular buildings, permanent modular construction and pre-fabricated construction), the demands placed on our design group are significant. While there are many great manufacturing companies in this industry that produce outstanding projects, most specialize in a single product offering. Transitioning from something as simple as a portable classroom to a USACE multi-story Brigade / Battalion Headquarters building is not an easy chore. Seamlessly doing this year in and year out is a significant achievement and one that is often easy to overlook. For that reason, we felt a page devoted to our design capabilities was in order.
