Robert Dietrick Company prides itself in representing best-in-class products and offering exceptional services to customers. We are committed to being a resource for all customer needs, including new construction projects. Our New Construction Team is dedicated to providing these products and services specialized for construction environments.

The New Construction Team’s mission is to provide 360-degree support from the bidding and installation for general contractors to the service and support phase for building occupants. The team starts with developing partnerships at the design and specification stage as the experts in application. Dock and door specifications can vary from industry to industry, but whether it be a warehouse distribution center, cold storage facility, manufacturing, or clean, food, or pharmaceutical facility, RDC has the experience to offer products for every application.

When it comes to management, RDC oversees projects from start to finish – directly managing timelines, costs, ordering of materials, and submittal of technical approval drawings. Along with design and specifications, the RDC Installation Team has over 65 years of field experience and commissioning of equipment. 

Upon completion of any construction project, RDC’s team of territory representatives are focused on a continued relationship after the construction phase.  This means continued service for the life of the equipment including Preventative Maintenance Plans, warranty items, and upgrades, making RDC the one-stop-shop for design, build, build-to-suit, project management, installation, and service.  

Below are short bios for each member of our New Construction Team, including their experience and role on the team:
