“We are both fairly entrepreneurial and we
wanted to start something even though
we didn't know at the time exactly what
services or form it would take. We wanted
to create something of our own and cre-
ate a culture and atmosphere that we can
heavily influence,” said Di Placito.
Ten years later, this Vancouver-based com-
pany has grown impressively into a spe-
cialized design and construction manage-
ment firm. Its service portfolio ranges
from civil and electrical engineering to
project controls. No matter what a client
needs, whether it be Design, Project Man-
agement, or Construction Management;
RAM has the experts to do it.
“We can offer value to clients because,
whereas typical engineering firms usually
focus on design, we have a real under-
standing of how a project is going to get
built and how it's being put together in the
field,” Boustany said.
The company’s abilities have not gone un-
noticed, which is why its clientele includes
big players like BC Hydro, Fortis BC, JV
Driver International, WorleyParsons, Fra-
ser Transportation Group Partnership and
more.
KEYS TO SUCCESS: PEOPLE
AND INNOVATION
People go a long way towards the suc-
cess of RAM. Since it was started by two
friends, there is already great communi-
cation flow at the executive level. “Our
friendship is a big thing,” said Di Placito.
