Ruthrauff | Sauer maintains an in-house engineering staff primarily to accommodate design/build projects for which we provide both design and construction services. Our engineers and designers are also available as a troubleshooting and value engineering resource for non-design/build work or existing installations. Ruthrauff | Sauer’s extensive resume of design/build work includes both HVAC and plumbing projects for a wide variety of commercial, industrial and institutional clients. Our designs range in complexity from packaged rooftop air conditioning units with simple duct layouts to central chilled water and steam plants serving multiple air handling systems. Daily interaction between our engineering staff and our own construction forces makes us better designers and results in better-engineered systems for our clients.
