Construction firms all over are taking advantage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles on construction projects. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs, are not an autonomous, pilotless vehicle. A person controls it on the ground through a remote or mobile device. The UAV is camera-equipped, so it’s ready to give the user a bird’s eye-view. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles present many opportunities in the construction industry and can be very beneficial to many professionals. UAVs can help with surveying, develop data, check a project’s progress, capture footage in aerial view or help examine structures for inspections. And with the growing use of technology and use of smart devices, UAVs are becoming more easily managed out on the field. R. K. Redding is already benefiting from using UAVs in more ways than one. We’re currently using the UAV’s to take aerial photography to document the construction process. This method is replacing traditional aerial photography and is more affordable for the firm...

2015 began with a cold snap shutting down numerous construction projects across the area and the nation. While the Southeast region may not see heavy snow, the cold winds, frozen ground, and freezing temperatures still present their own challenges to construction projects and tradesmen. So, if your construction project occurs during some of the winter months, you should be aware of the potential for additional costs and time delays due to weather. For instance, did you know:   With cold temperatures comes decreased daylight, which affects on the job productivity. Not only are there less daylight hours for construction crews to work, you also lose the time needed to properly warm up equipment, as well as the time and effort required to set up temporary heating or even lighting equipment.   For concrete and masonry to cure properly, it needs to maintain a moderate temperature. Freezing conditions require additives and even...

Sustainability has shifted from a buzzword to something simply expected. Not to mention it has taken on numerous forms through the years. From cost savings provided by enhanced energy efficiency to the personal satisfaction from being environmentally responsible, there are many reasons for choosing to build a “green” or “sustainable” building. However, these efforts, when included in the building design upfront can save in maintenance and energy costs down the road. Sustainability isn’t just for new buildings. It can be used to revitalize and preserve existing structures. RKR renovated a closed Ingle’s Grocery store, transforming it into a concert venue creating Mill Town Music Hall which provided the following benefits: Improved profitability through cost savings from using more efficient systems and equipment for power, water and the related infrastructure that drives the demands on these resources. Improved amenity for staff and visitors by incorporating natural lighting ...

North Paulding School Cluster How can public school systems make informed decisions regarding the best use of their facilities? At RKR, our Planning Services team has been working to successfully answer this question by taking into account multiple factors such as census data, surrounding school districts, county birth data, home sales, etc, to create custom-designed solutions that meet the specific needs of each school district. For example, with the Polk School District we evaluated individual school enrollment history with anticipated area changes so that a correlation was developed that placed students in their zoned school. The final documents contained easy to read graphs so the data could be interpreted. For the Paulding County School District, our Planning Services team provided projection data to support the staff allocation process, which also helped to develop long range planning opportunities. In addition, a facilities study that we produced for Decatur Ci...

Go to RKRedding.com to view all project photos Roopville Road Baptist Church was blessed that its congregation was growing at a rapid rate. However, that meant that they needed to build a new sanctuary to house their entire membership and keep that positive "energy" by continuing to worship in one service. Roopville Road's Minister of Music and Administration Bryan Turner was given the daunting task of overseeing the expansion project. While the Church committee was torn between R.K. Redding Construction and another construction company, one of the committee members said that he could serve as the project superintendent, if the Church leadership selected his construction company. That's when the RKR philosophy made a difference. According to Turner, "Randall Redding of RKR was the only firm of 10 we interviewed to call after the bidding process. In fact, Randall left me a voicemail and said he supported our decision 100% and that he hoped to work with ...
