30+ Years of Evolution that Made RAM Mechanical

RAM Mechanical Services, Inc. was incorporated in 1987.

Our beginnings were primarily as a sheet metal fabricator and installer of environmental HVAC systems. We started off with three good customers and a few good men. Through hard work, dedication and perseverance, RAM has blossomed from a $500,000/year company to a $24 million company today. Our humble beginnings started with an office in the basement of the owner and an off-site 1,000-square-foot fabrication facility. Our current location consists of a 21,000-square foot-facility that was completely renovated to our needs in 2009. This has allowed us to streamline our office organization and develop efficient fabrication and prefabrication areas for our sheet metal and piping divisions.

Over the last 30+ years, we have added other self-perform divisions to establish ourselves as a single-source mechanical contractor. Early on we were compelled to initiate a service division to “Service What We Sell.” In 2000, we committed to create a full-fledged service department to service our customer base over the long term. In 2003, we expanded into the piping side of HVAC.

These additions have allowed us to expand from basic HVAC installations into more complex critical environments, hospitals, and process markets. RAM has evolved into a complete mechanical contractor, allowing our clients to have one point of contact for their projects. On any given project, we are able to keep everyone involved appraised of the project’s status, provide continuity, build trust and virtually eliminate miscommunication.

Over the years it has been our goal to constantly improve our means and methods for design and installation of the mechanical systems we are involved in. Our investments in equipment, tooling, software, communication and safety have become a critical requirement. In order to maintain our competitive advantage in this industry, it’s a requirement we must adhere to.

Our plan for the future is to continue to grow following the same commitments that we had from the very beginning. Through hard work and dedication, while investing in our processes, employee retention and safety, RAM will continue to strive to be one of the contractors of choice in the Chicagoland area.
