Rubicon Expands Construction Management Services Into Canada

HERNDON, VA--(Marketwire - Jun 19, 2012) - Rubicon Professional Services, a leading provider of full-service energy management, consulting, engineering, and construction management for mission-critical facilities, announced today that it has been awarded Canadian business registration and licensing rights. The company's successful completion of licensing requirements will enable Rubicon to offer its full portfolio of design/build construction, program management, owner's representation and technical services in Canada, to its U.S. customers expanding across the border.

"We have worked hard to establish ourselves as a valued, reputable provider of professional services to mission-critical facilities in the U.S.," said Bill Pirrone, President, Rubicon Professional Services. "Our services continue to streamline the construction process -- on time and on budget -- for our U.S. clients. We can now meet the growing needs of our U.S. customers' mission-critical facilities expanding into the Canadian market, as well as make our services available to Canadian organizations."

Initially, Rubicon will provide its award-winning services to U.S.-based, financial and retail clients expanding into the Canadian market, with the intention to also service Canadian-based customers. The complex nature of mission-critical data center construction, along with the growing need to house and secure sensitive data, continues to escalate project costs and prolong schedules. Rubicon's award winning services led by an all-star team of executive-level experts, assume all construction responsibilities -- ensuring projects are completed under budget and on time.

According to a Datacenter Dynamics Global Census Market Growth report, the global IT dependence has resulted in Internet users "increase to 2.11 billion (30% increase by June 2011 -- source: Internet World Stats)." The report's 2011-2012 Data Center Market World Growth Rankings placed Canada in 17^th place with a 10 percent growth in facility profile during the period. Canada's $1.9 billion value of investment in 2012 positions the country as one of the top 10 economies investing in "growth in the context of data center markets" to meet increased IT demands in either the construction of new facilities or upgrades of existing facilities.

Rubicon Professional Services provides customers with innovative solutions for mission-critical facility design and construction. Unlike traditional general contractors, Rubicon's professional engineers deliver unique alternatives for building or upgrading core facilities -- from design/build and construction management to energy services and equipment integration.
