Civil Engineering

At RAK, team members work to provide superior experience for the client, working closely with the client during all facets of a project from assisting in initial concept and planning, all the way through to completion of construction and beyond.

With each new project, the goal is to help produce a successful project for the client, while developing a working relationship that may lead to future successes for all parties.  Clients can be sure that key team members will be actively involved in their projects and readily available to serve their needs throughout the project.  With a proactive approach to communication, the client’s needs, timelines, and budget are integral.

Since the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1991, accessibility of facilities has become an important element in the design of projects.

RAK recognizes that the Act also creates challenges for existing businesses and facilities that may have been constructed prior to these requirements being put into place.  Since 1991, our team members have been working with clients to help them resolve ADA issues through design and modernization, as well as designing new facilities that are accessible to all end users.

RAK strives to provide designs that meet the requirements of The California Building Code that result in cost effective solutions for clients.  These designs may include design of accessible parking areas, paths of travel, curb cuts, detectable warnings, striping, and accessibility to buildings, common areas, and pick-up and drop-off areas.
