About Ray Badii

Construction done right is driven by smart, customer-focused teams whose innovative solutions deliver value, excellence and the best possible outcomes for clients, patrons and their communities.Since 1984, this philosophy has motivated every project that was designed, managed and built by my company, R&G Builders – and cemented my reputation as a trusted, informed business leader able to successfully navigate every aspect of the construction industry.My combined 50 years across wide-ranging areas of heavy construction give me a broader perspective than many others in the field.Profoundly committed to honesty, integrity and fiscal responsibility, I grew a two-person company to a $50M+ company with 100 employees by serving the best interests of our clients – always. Moreover, many of R&G’s cutting-edge projects pioneered the concept of bringing retail, commercial and parking structures under a single roof.As President and CEO of R&G, I led a diverse team of planners, designers, engineers and builders in such facets of construction as general contracting, sub-contracting, procurement, strategy, safety, estimating, design-build, financing, budgeting, operations and value engineering in every decision. Our work involved heavy construction projects ranging from parking structures, stadiums, storage facilities to shopping centers, office buildings and mixed-use development.Today, I am a skilled mentor with a goal of elevating everyone at every level of construction. As an Owner’s Rep./Developer’s Agent, or Expert for construction attorneys, I help companies save costs on design and construction. In my work as Consultant/Advisor, I leverage my expertise to help established companies, startups and litigation lawyers bring all the pieces together. In particular, my expertise lies in identifying the miscommunication and disconnect between two parties – often saving them the time and expense of cumbersome legal proceedings. Areas of expertise: Capitalization, forecasting, cost control, safety, job costing, project management, contract negotiations, proposals, analysis, design-build, procurement, policy development, negotiationsIf you’d like to learn more about me and the construction-specific services I offer, connect with me on LinkedIn and contact me directly. r•••••@rngbuilders.com 94••••••16

   The roles of Construction Consultant/Owner’s Representative were the perfect transition for a 50-year career – 26 of which were spent growing my own construction firm to an over $50M enterprise – that found me entrenched in every element of heavy construction.This deep experience, coupled with 10 years of civil- and structural-engineering university education, set the direction for my consulting/advising businesses.
