Ken Trout
Senior Account Manager - Royal Bank


"During the time I have known Steve Knoblauch I have found that he is very sincere in his dealings, outgoing, friendly, and very astute. A key factor, in my opinion behind RAM's success is the honesty and integrity which guides the whole team at RAM.  In fact, other clients of the bank with whom I have dealings speak very highly of RAM Construction."

Craig Wallace
Chartered Accountant - Bishop and Wallace

"We started a relationship twelve years ago, right at the beginning.  Construction is a very competitive industry.  Steve has become very proficient in all aspects of business – marketing, financial statements, systems management and employee relations."

Bob Harrison
President - Surfwood Supply


"RAM has built three buildings for us totaling 65,000 square feet.  They brought the projects to completion on time and on budget.  The games some builders play make it hard to have trust, but the people at RAM really have integrity.  I  would recommend them to anyone.  I can't say enough about them."

Kim Purchase
Account Executive - J&H Marsh & McLennan

"Steve Knoblauch has an excellent reputation in the business.  In twelve years we've had absolutely no trade complaints.  As well, there have been no owner complaints, not even a single letter.  Their reputation is clearly evidenced by the amount of referral business they do.  I don't have a problem referring other to RAM Construction and that's not easy to do, since, if a problem arose, it would reflect on me."

Bob Mason
Senior Vice President - Commercial and Industrial Intracorp Developments

"I have been impressed and pleased with RAM Construction right from our first experience in 1988.  When AirCare was introduced in British Columbia, we developed and had to build twelve stations in the program.  RAM built nine of them -  there was no comparison with the other company that was brought in by the operator of the AirCare stations.  Lots of our dealings are based on trust and a handshake – documentation coming later."

William Weiler
Kane, Shannon & Weiler Barristers and Solicitors

"I have dealt with Steve Knoblauch on two levels, first as a lawyer and secondly as a client.  As a lawyer, I have observed that Steve is an extremely tough negotiator, a very level-headed person and the kind of guy you can talk to, to discuss problems.  His work is very important.  As a client, we engaged RAM Construction to build our first building and we were satisfied enough that our group went back for their services again.  I have also recommended RAM to other clients of our firm and they have been entirely pleased."

Gerry Weiler, P. Eng
Principal, Weiler, Smith Bowers, Consulting Structural Engineers

"RAM is always the consistent company.  You can rely on them to get the job done properly. Steve knows how to hire good people.  Al Lloyd – he's a real professional.  He knows what he's doing and pays attention to detail.  I work with AL and the others on two or three jobs a year – probably twenty projects all together.  Steve can be tough but he's very fair, very frank.  In a bidding situation, I'm always pleased to see RAM on the short list."

Dave Sanford
Sanford Design Group Building and Interior Design Consultants

"Over the eight years that we have worked together we have done about four or five projects each year.  Steve is a very astute builder, often helping with the design and pricing.  RAM is the kind of contractor we like to work with, particularly on design-builds.  They are always willing to take that extra step to satisfy the owner.  The personnel are excellent.  I really respect Steve as a manager.  He is a person of principle and won't jeopardize his company's name by just "throwing something together."

Terry Mager, C.P.
Pacific Architectural Group

"London Drugs was a large job and difficult to construct.  For one reason, the floor had to be very flat because the forklifts needed to load very high up.  RAM did an excellent job.  Their finishing work is first rate.  The Produce Terminal building was our first project under the new Vancouver energy bylaw.  It has state-of-the-art refrigeration and that was not easy to do.  Ram met the problems head on."

Christopher Bozak
Christopher Bozyk Architects Ltd.

"We seek out people like Steve.  He's non-confrontational as are all of his personnel.  The owner of the project is very happy as everything is on time and there have been absolutely no problems.  When we do select tendering, RAM is always on the list.  When he loses a tender, he wants to know why, not to dispute, but to learn from it.  He's a smart guy that way.  He always wants to learn.  I would definitely work with him in the future – and I will!"

Ron Ramsay
Ramsay Design

"I have known Steve since 1975 and when he started his own firm 12 years ago I was quick to use his services.  In tilt-up work, RAM is triple A – the best.  I do the majority of my design-build work with RAM.  Steve hires good people.  They are all team players."

Richard Kolodziej, C.P.
Principal of Urban Design Group Architects Ltd.

"I've been very impressed with RAM.  The project we worked together on was the Squamish Station Shopping Center."
