THE RAIN CITY INDUSTRIAL PROJECT DELIVERY PROCESS.
A better way to deliver industrial projects—one integrated team, one coordinated plan, built around how your operation actually works.
A DISCIPLINED APPROACH TO INDUSTRIAL DELIVERY.
Industrial projects perform best when planning, design, pricing, approvals, and construction advance in a coordinated and deliberate sequence.
Our integrated design-build process aligns scope, cost, schedule, and constructability from early decisions through execution—reducing risk, improving predictability, and delivering clear, reliable outcomes.
The Rain City Approach
An integrated, experience-driven design-build process built specifically for industrial environments.
Our approach brings project design, permitting, scheduling, and construction management into one coordinated path—aligning early decisions with disciplined execution to reduce risk, improve predictability, and deliver industrial facilities that perform as intended.
OUR PHASED INDUSTRIAL DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS. STRUCTURED FOR CLARITY. BUILT FOR CERTAINTY.
Industrial projects perform best when planning, design, pricing, approvals, and construction move forward in a deliberate sequence—not as disconnected scopes. Rain City Industrial delivers projects through a structured, phased design-build process that clarifies deliverables at every stage and keeps scope, cost, schedule, and constructability aligned as the work progresses. Each phase builds on the last, advancing the project with increasing certainty and ensuring decisions are made at the right time, with the right information, by one coordinated team.
01 Project Planning & Schematic Design
This phase establishes the operational vision for the project. We work with your team to understand how the facility functions today, how it needs to perform in the future, and how all components must work together as one integrated workspace.
Operational needs and workflow analysis
Site and existing conditions assessment
Preliminary space planning and schematic layouts
Identification of specialty construction requirements
Initial racking and equipment considerations
Preliminary utilities and building systems review
Preliminary budget and schedule expectations
High-level project milestones
02 Design Development & Progressive Budgeting
The schematic concept is refined into coordinated design solutions while budgets and schedules are continuously updated. This phase establishes baseline cost and schedule targets and ensures design decisions remain aligned with operational priorities.
Coordinated design development drawings
Integrated layouts for offices, production, warehousing, and specialty scopes
Refined racking, equipment, and utility coordination
Baseline project budget and schedule
Ongoing cost updates tied to design decisions
Options and alternatives review to support informed decisions
03 Consultant Coordination & Permit Management
During this phase, the project design is transitioned to the required professional consultants and advanced toward permit-ready documentation. Rain City coordinates all consultants and manages approvals with municipal authorities and any industry-specific governance bodies required by the operation.
Engagement and coordination of project consultants
Development of coordinated permit drawing packages
Building permit submissions and responses
Racking, signage, and related permit submissions
Coordination with industry-specific authorities (e.g., CFIA for food and beverage facilities)
Issued-for-Tender drawing packages
Issued-for-Construction drawing packages as permits are approved
04 Competitive Tendering, Value Engineering & Contracting
With permit-ready documents in place, the project moves into competitive pricing and contracting. This phase confirms cost certainty, evaluates alternatives, and awards trades and suppliers to prepare for construction.
Trade and supplier tender packages
Competitive pricing and scope alignment
Value engineering, options, and alternatives review
Trade and supplier contract awards
Finalized construction schedule
05 Construction & Project Management
The approved design is delivered on site by one accountable team. Construction activities are executed in sequence, followed by racking and equipment installation, inspections, and project closeout.
Site mobilization and construction management
Safety planning and compliance
Trade coordination and sequencing
Construction of base building and specialty scopes
Racking and equipment installation
Quality control, consultant reviews, and inspections
Ongoing client communication and reporting
Deficiency resolution, closeout, and final inspections
Occupancy coordination and project handover documentation
