Rowe is capable of designing and building your new construction project from conception to completion. It is critical that your sprinkler system is designed to support the intended usage of the facility as well as your existing water supply. Our experienced and NICET certified team will ensure that the system is designed properly. Once construction starts, you can count on Rowe to maintain to its committed schedule. We work closely with all other trades to coordinate efficiently and successfully complete the entire project.
Whether you have a large construction project or a small facility being built, Rowe treats all projects with the same level of commitment. Typically, small projects are handled by our service team. They deal with immediate responses, special requests, after-hours work schedules and the focus required on small jobs. These projects usually span approximately 30 days from start to finish.
Larger projects often require initial quoting and design phases at least 12 months prior to completion. These types of projects are handled by our construction department and are managed by a project manager to ensure all critical phases are maintained on a much longer schedule.
