If you’re having trouble finding the perfect site for your new construction project, ľ����Ƶ Libbe Properties can help you identify the property that best meets your needs. This might help you avoid certain site-related construction complications later.  Our SiteLine program leverages the collaborative expertise within thee ľ����Ƶ to provide a continuum of tiered services, from initial planning, to site selection and procurement, to construction and beyond which can include deciding on the right delivery method to meet your schedule and budget.

Do you need Design/Build,��Design/Bid/Build���ǰ���Construction Management At-Risk?

We will help you understand the differences and customize a solution just for you.

We’re experienced in all phases of the construction process including:

• Safety
• Programming and planning

Involving our team from the earliest stages of your new construction project ensures a smooth experience through to the finish —and most importantly — for the future of your business or organization’s success.

“ľ����Ƶ Libbe’s Special Accounts team exceeded our expectations with emphasis on timeliness and a willingness to listen and respond to our unique needs.”

Dr. Gary Holfinger, Co-Owner,��Dogwood Veterinary Emergency Center

Have a small construction or ongoing maintenance project? Our Special Accounts team has the expertise to make your project successful.

It starts with designating a single point of contact — one of our experts — for all of your needs. Our account managers dedicate themselves to understanding your facility, your operation, and your business, so they can help you make decisions quickly and free you to focus on your core business.

Once we establish the specifics of your project, we provide just the right combination of services to execute the project successfully. Those services may include a mix of:

• Small construction projects for renovation or expansion
• Tenant improvements
• Alterations/additions
• Process planning and budgeting
• Planned and unplanned outages
• Concrete and civil/site work
• Carpentry
• Masonry
• Emergency response planning and services

In addition to the peace-of-mind that comes from working with a single-source contractor, we also provide some advantages that might otherwise be limited to significantly larger construction projects, such as increased buying power and rigorous cost control.

Other benefits include:

• Our commitment to schedule ensures minimal down time, getting you back to business quickly
• Lower total project cost
• Rapid emergency response 24/7/365
• Best-in-class safety performance to protect your people and ours

Our projects range from $500 to $1,000,000, and we annually complete 500 projects valued under $100,000 each. In fact, small projects account for nearly 80 percent of all RLI projects.

We value the opportunity to help you make your small construction project a big success.

All thriving businesses evolve — and as they do, so do their facilities. ľ����Ƶ work alongside your team to design a holistic solution for long-term performance. 

Need to add offices to an existing warehouse? Expand your distribution center? Renovate a manufacturing facility to meet new codes?

We were able to upgrade our entire building to achieve improved energy efficiency savings and overall comfort without negatively impacting our monthly cash flow.

Martin Porter, Retired Director, Toledo School for the Arts

Energy efficiency isn’t one big thing you do, or a mix of little things you do. It’s everything you do.

It’s your heating and cooling systems. Your lighting updates. Your building automation controls. Your electric and natural gas costs.

It’s whether you’re considering an on-site power source such as solar, or assessing how energy-intensive your manufacturing equipment and processes are.

Where can you save money and gain energy efficiency? How do you pay for energy upgrades now and in the future?

By emphasizing deeper benefits and long-term value versus short-term bursts, ľ����Ƶ believes your business can begin to build a platform for more sustainable results — including reduced cost of operation, stewardship of your property assets, and ongoing return on investment.

We are experienced in finding the �ھ��Բ��Գ��������DZ��ܳپ��DzԲ� to fund your efficiency projects. And we have the technical know-how and design/build construction capabilities to take the project from vision to reality.

Consider the Toledo School for the Arts, a public charter school housed in a 100-year old building. Energy upgrade solutions now save the school nearly $25,000 annually. RLG’s assistance in the design/build project included finding the project financing and handling the paperwork.

 “The property assessment, as part of our semi-annual tax bill, will give us the flexibility we need to make improvements now and pay for them later, as we realize the savings from the new efficiencies.”

And financial rewards are not the sole driver of business energy projects. Evidence indicates that saving money is just one of the many reasons why business is starting to change its relationship with energy. Our customers are finding multiple, non-financial benefits they never expected.

Is your business ready to chart its own energy destiny?

We have partnered with the ľ����Ƶ for over 30 years to manage and perform projects ranging from larger capital improvements to building maintenance. The one thing that is constant no matter the size of the project is the quality of work of their entire team.

We know that manufacturers today must optimize complex facility upgrade projects. That’s why ľ����Ƶ developed our Guided Process Solutions (GPS) design/build system for process-driven manufacturing construction projects. Call us first when you are considering how to achieve the best results for your customers�����Ի� your process.

RLG can help with any process or manufacturing solution, including:

• Automated or specialized assembly lines
• Materials processing
• Chemical processing
• Food processing
• Metals-manufacturing plants
• Manufacturing facility construction
• Any structural steel,��fabrication,��mechanical,��electrical, or concrete/masonry���Ա���

When you partner with RLG for your facility upgrade, our GPS approach includes taking the time to understand your specific business and complex process needs first before any design begins. Our collaborative process emphasizes communication in every phase from planning and programming to owner occupancy.

We focus on your needs as the owner, and deliver quality control, safety, schedule control, and continuous feedback.

Challenge the status quo of traditional design/bid/build and involve us from the earliest stages of your project.  Let us see you successfully through to the finish — and into the future.

ľ����Ƶ offers a number of services that make it easier to care for your facility, including:

• FM360 Facility Management
• HVAC / Plumbing Services
• Small Construction Projects (starting as low as $500)
•  (full-time nested employees at sites with ongoing construction project needs)

(Check out our blog�����Ի� library for multiple resources for your facility.)

What’s the benefit of working with a single-source provider of construction projects and facility maintenance? We provide you with a scalable, on-site extension of your staff,  so you can focus on your core business instead of maintenance and/or construction.

And because we can handle your specific HVAC service and facility management, as well as small construction project assistance as needed, we can help you reduce your costs along the way — and maximize facility uptime.

Just ask Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio. By combining a number of efficiency projects and services — including  a comprehensive HVAC agreement, FM360 facility management agreement, annual and capital facility planning, procurement, lighting retrofit, boiler optimization, and domestic water shutdown procedures — they reduced their costs by the equivalent of $1 million dollars in ticket sales.

Ask us how we can help you maintain your facility, manage construction project needs and reduce your operating costs.
