As a result of the economic downturn, the entire construction community is under capacity. While many companies play a waiting game and rely on constant belt-tightening, Ruby+Associates has chosen to take advantage of the time to further develop its employee talent and improve its corporate asset base.

"To be true constructability experts requires an in-depth and holistic understanding of the steel design and erection events that must occur sequentially on a given job site," said Jay Ruby, President and CEO of Ruby+Associates. "Our employees have a passion for problem solving and a desire to continue growing professionally to help influence innovative design solutions. So, we have provided them opportunities for professional growth through outside learning opportunities. "
