AN INNOVATIVE BALANCE
Working to further its status as an industry innovator, Rosendin consistently studies, develops, and embraces new technologies and incorporates them into everything it does.
Since these complex technologies and projects require extra attention, the company provides specialized value-added services that complement its core offerings, including design-assist, design-build, integrated project delivery (IPD), and prefabrication.
Rosendin takes pride in being a driving force in the design and utilization of construction industry technology. From cloud-based computing to mobility applications, and prefabrication techniques to building information modeling (BIM) advancements, the company continually leverages innovative solutions to meet strategic goals alongside those of its many customers.
BIM in particular is an important workflow process based on models used for the planning, design, construction, and management of building and infrastructure projects. The advanced software is used to model and optimize projects by planning, designing, building, and operating BIM models.
The company is on the cutting edge of technology with a dedicated BIM team to keep up with the rapid technological changes of today’s environment.
Rosendin offers best-in-class BIM and has been the home of North America’s largest and most recognized subcontractor BIM group for over a decade.
Headquartered in Arizona, the group is supported by team members from across the company’s regional offices and consists of over 220 full-time coordinators, modelers, and detailers.
The BIM group’s areas of expertise include internally developed proprietary add-ins, Autodesk Revit MEP 2013-2018, Navisworks Manage, BIM 360 Layout, MicroSurvey layout, and much more.
Through utilizing the most proven and effective technologies to build out its solutions, Rosendin is able to confidently deliver its ongoing commitment to innovation.
As a proven industry leader in developing and implementing new tools, training, and technologies, the company helps its teams work safer and more efficiently while remaining disciplined to established standards that have stood the test of time.
Rosendin is proudly set apart from the rest of the competition due to this purposeful union of new and proven technologies such as BIM.
PASSION, COMMITMENT, AND PRIDE
Rosendin is thrilled to have had the opportunity to deliver some of the most challenging, prestigious, and necessary construction work in the US.
One such example of the impactful work the company has delivered is the renovation of Harvey Milk Terminal 1 (HMT1) at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). HMT1 represents a portion of the work Rosendin has completed and continues to work through at the airport. Starting in 1995 with Boarding Area A in the International Terminal, it’s been a long and fruitful relationship with SFO.
The renovation redeveloped the terminal to meet the needs of modern travelers and revolutionize the guest experience. The final product elevates the airport’s standard of providing a world-class, environmentally-friendly travel experience that is LEED Platinum certified. It represents a great transition from a facility built in the 1960s into a modern terminal that can handle a substantially increased passenger load.
The project took a total of eight years to complete, part of which was slowed by the pandemic. Rosendin is part of the reason why HMT1 now has high-speed Wi-Fi, a neutral host distributed antenna system extending cellular services, and dynamic wayfinding systems with large video walls.
Rosendin’s role as the technology systems design-builder and systems integrator included the complete design, construction, integration, and commissioning of various technology systems across the terminal, playing a pivotal role in creating a sustainable travel experience.
“I am incredibly proud of how well we communicated and collaborated with other trades from start to finish. It was a fascinating project, and we hope to do more like it in the future. Our work on HMT1 exemplifies how Rosendin uses new, innovative technology to push ourselves to the next level. It was one of our first projects where we had true integration between our line voltage and technology systems groups, and the work was actually co-led by the leaders of each business. It is a great example of how we’re evolving in managing multi-modal deliveries under a single hat,” prides Mazzetti.
IMPACT, EMPOWER, AND INSPIRE
In addition to Rosendin’s impactful work with HMT1, the company has also participated in a variety of other exciting projects across the nation.
An apt example is the new Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) headquarters in Oakland, CA. With nearly 25,000 people riding through the Transbay Tube into Downtown San Francisco during peak commute hours each day, BART connects the San Francisco Peninsula, East Bay, and South Bay, providing efficient and reliable public transportation for over 40 years.
Rosendin is proud to be the electrical design-build contractor that renovated the 244,287 sqft headquarters, which accommodates 1,300 employees.
The project scope included demolition on all floors, security and support space additions on the first floor, restrooms on floors two to 10, a complete build-out of the third level, and significant exterior improvements.
Alongside the new BART headquarters, Rosendin also worked on the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum – a $315 million project that was completed at the end of 2019 which modernized and restored the 96-year-old stadium to its former glory.
Having originally opened in 1923, the historic ground is home to the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans. It also served as a host venue for the 1932 Summer Olympics and will do so once again in the upcoming 2028 Games.
The renovation project included the replacement of 77,500 seats, as well as luxury boxes and club suites. It also consisted of new concession stands, upgraded entryways and video screens, updated electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems, and the installation of a new field and stadium lighting.
In parallel to the project, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Health Helen Diller Hospital held its official groundbreaking ceremony in April 2024, with Rosendin providing electrical contracting services in support of UCSF’s 30-year plan to transform the Parnassus Heights campus.
The projected growth of the hospital will enable thousands of additional patients to access the complex care provided by the facility, thus meeting both current and future medical demands. Once complete, the 294-foot-tall building will add 324 new patient beds and approximately 1 million square feet of critical care and patient service space.
EMPOWERING STAFF
As evidenced by its employee-owned status, Rosendin places a heavy focus on empowering its staff and recognizing the contributions they make.
Specifically, the company does this through its commit, attract, retain, and empower (CARE) pledge.
“When we talk about empowering employees, it’s important that we’re all united under one shared mission, and that’s where Rosendin’s CARE pledge comes in,” informs Mazzetti.
“It’s our promise to provide employees with a safe, diverse, welcoming, and inclusive workplace.”
The company is firm in its belief that embracing every voice creates an environment where each team member feels valued and heard in order to improve morale and engagement, increase productivity, and enable an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing various perspectives.
“We want to ensure all employees have the same opportunities and the chance to reach their full potential at Rosendin,” furthers Mazzetti.
In recognition of the importance of acknowledging staff members for their hard work and achievements, the company recently started an employee story series to highlight workers from every sector at Rosendin, which has proven to be immensely rewarding.
Additionally, the company is committed to providing its staff with a safe and healthy workplace where accident prevention is paramount.
This culture of safety is accomplished through its highly trained safety professionals who diligently work to create an injury, incident, and impact free (I-3 Free) environment on every project.
I-3 Free permeates the entire organization, as Rosendin works to place this value above all else and strives to provide its people with the tools, equipment, and working conditions that will help them safely and efficiently do their very best work.
Having won the 2018 AGC Construction Safety Excellence Award, the company also boasts over 90 qualified safety professionals and an above-average experience modification rating (EMR) of 0.68, further reinforcing its safety culture.
