Rubicon Adds Construction Management Veteran to Team

HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - Jan 12, 2012) - Rubicon Professional Services, a leading national provider of full-service energy management, consulting, engineering, and construction management for mission-critical facilities, today announced the addition of Michael Relton as the company's architect and design program manager. Relton's addition enhances Rubicon's design/build construction expertise in the areas of technical, physical, financial, and energy services concerns.

Relton brings nearly a decade of mission-critical facilities architectural engineering and expert knowledge of AIA contract management to Rubicon's design/build process, equipment integration, project construction and commissioning services. In addition, Relton strengthens the company's services with extensive knowledge of the Trane HVAC Clinic and Future Facilities 6Sigma CFD analysis programming system, along with Liebert's HVAC and In-Row cooling products.

"The heart of today's successful design/build construction projects does not reside within the brick and mortar shell; rather, it resides within truly understanding a customer's unique needs and providing guidance on the most suitable means and methods of construction to meet project goals," states Jim Embley, CEO, Rubicon Professional Services. "The addition of Michael Relton to our team of veterans will help strengthen our services by offering our customers in-depth counsel to help reduce overall project costs as well as coordinating critical path design issues to help reduce permit delays to expedite construction."

Prior to joining Rubicon, Relton served as project manager/data center designer at PTS Data Center Solutions where, as team leader, he supervised data center projects from conceptual design and budgeting through construction and commissioning. Complementing his work at PTS Data Center Solutions, Relton served as project manager and architect at Bruns-Pak Data Centers. Relton holds a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from NJ Institute of Technology and continues ongoing training on MEP systems.
