“We knew we wanted to work together.
We worked together well in the past and
went to school together, and it was some-
thing that we wanted to continue.”
The backbone of any company is the work-
force, and both founders spoke of their em-
ployees with pride. “Our people are giving
us the edge,” said Di Placito. “We've been
able to create some great relationships
with our clients, trusted relationships,
where there is honest communication.”
Through these relationships, RAM has
managed some of the largest P3 projects
in B.C. The South Fraser Perimeter Road
(SFPR) is one such example. As an exten-
sion of Metro Vancouver’s Highway 17,
“We are able to provide unique ideas that perhaps in an industry like civil
engineering, which is thousands of years old, is slow to adopt.”
