San Jose and East Bay Concrete Pavers, BR Landscapers, Celebrates its 15th Anniversary

San Jose and East Bay Concrete Pavers, BR Landscapers, Celebrates its 15th Anniversary












Tracy, CA (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

East Bay and San Jose concrete pavers, BR Landscapers is celebrating 15 years in business. They say the secret to their longevity is always sticking to their mantra, Do it right, Do it now, Do it right now.” BR Landscapers’ end game is to provide every customer with a true feeling of complete satisfaction. No hassles. No worries. No complaints.

“At BR Landscapers of East Bay and San Jose, we believe a customer pleased with our concrete landscaping and paver work will reward us with their recommendation to a friend or colleague,” says Brian Ramirez. “Satisfied clients beget new clients to satisfy.”

With thousands of concrete pavers and landscaping contractors in the East Bay, the goal of BR Landscapers is to be the very best and to be known for their quality and service.

Before hiring a landscaper, consider these simple tips.

As any professional will admit, the best review they can receive is the one recommending their services to a friend who needs some work done. Why do some jobs not turn out the way a customer anticipated? After years working in this field, BR Landscapers sometimes learns from its’ clients about contractors who delivered poor service or kept the customer waiting beyond the pre-arranged appointment time or start date.

The company has gained such a sterling reputation that, at times, they are asked to correct the shoddy or incomplete work of others.

In many of these cases it is found that the customers have failed to follow a simple checklist to verify the contractor’s experience, history, licensing, and background because the estimate they were given was appealingly low.

Receiving the lowest price is not the best measure of a contractor. Further, it can result in disappointment and buyer’s remorse when the job is finished.

“Remember, if your concrete pavers landscaper isn’t paying for insurance, state licensing, membership in BBB, and guaranteeing their work, they may be able to offer a lower price but they may not be the right partner in your project,” adds Mr. Ramirez.

Also, not every person in business is a business person. This can result in some jobs being completed by contractors with little or no thought to the customer’s satisfaction, or lack thereof. Will the contractor be around after the job is completed? Do they guarantee customer satisfaction? Are they licensed with the state Contractor’s Board? Have they been vetted by the Better Business Bureau? If so, what is their rating?

Most professional companies who have been around awhile understand the importance of delivering service and product above and beyond a customer’s expectations. In today’s world of instant communication via Facebook, Twitter, Internet Blogging and texting, a customer’s opinion regarding poor work or customer service is delivered virtually instantaneously.

While many positive customer experiences do not find their way onto the internet, a company that operates its’ business as though every customer will soon share their experience on the front page of their local paper or blog should be positioned for long term success.

It is not always an easy task to find a courtyard landscaping contractor who will complete a job on time, within budget, and with the attention-to-detail that one expects for the price agreed upon. Once that is achieved, customers tend to hang onto that relationship. That has been BR Landscapers philosophy since 1997.

So next time when something needs to be done in a professional manner that will be completely satisfying, think about BR Landscapers mantra, “Do it right. Do it now. Do it right now.”

Call BR Landscapers at (925) 301-8443 or visit brlandscapers.com for a portfolio of their many happy clients and their completed projects.

About BR Landscapers

In business since 1997, BR Landscapers offers a full array of services to residents of the Pleasanton, Danville, Alamo, Dublin and San Ramon areas. They are expert concrete pavers and patio pavers and can provide landscaping for driveways, patios, pool decks, fountains, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, courtyards, sitting walls, garden arbors and more.

“What you can dream, we can deliver. We believe in cementing relationships one job at a time,” says Ramirez.

South Carolina Roads Getting Worse for Motorcyclists, Charleston Accident Lawyer Says

South Carolina Roads Getting Worse for Motorcyclists, Charleston Accident Lawyer Says











South Carolina personal injury lawyer Ken Harrell


North Charleston, SC (PRWEB) January 13, 2012

South Carolina’s overall traffic deaths increased last year for the first time since 2007 — and motorcycle accidents were one of the main reasons, according to Charleston accident lawyer Ken Harrell.

Although wrecks are killing fewer drivers and passengers in other motor vehicles, South Carolina motorcycle deaths continued to rise by a double-digit percentage in 2011, according to preliminary figures from the S.C. Department of Public Safety (SCDPS).

“These sad statistics underscore the threat that motorcyclists face on our state’s roads,” said Harrell, who represents victims of motorcycle accidents at the Joye Law Firm, where he is the South Carolina personal injury firm’s managing partner.

The early data from the SCDPS showed that 102 motorcyclists died in South Carolina traffic accidents during 2011, as compared to 82 the year before. The SCDPS reports that 815 people died in all South Carolina traffic accidents during 2011, up from 810 in 2010.

More motorcycle and pedestrian deaths are behind the increase in the fatality count, according to an Associated Press report in the Charleston Post and Courier. Deaths in other motor vehicles, such as cars, pickups, SUVs and trucks, continued their downward trend in 2011. They declined from 591 in 2010 to 559 last year, the AP reports.

“While it is encouraging to see that fewer people are getting killed while traveling in other motor vehicles, it is very alarming to realize that the roads are getting more dangerous for motorcyclists,” Harrell said.

Due to the fact that motorcycles lack the structural protection that other vehicles offer, motorcyclists are more likely to suffer severe injury or death in a wreck, Harrell said.

Harrell said one of the leading causes of South Carolina motorcycle accidents is the carelessness of other drivers. Motorists often fail to use sufficient time and caution to see motorcyclists and share the road with them, Harrell said.

“Insurance companies like to portray motorcycle riders as rebels who take chances and operate their vehicles dangerously. That image is wrong,” Harrell said.

“My experience representing victims of South Carolina motorcycle accidents has taught me that most riders are safe and cautious, and it is often the car or truck driver who was to blame for the accident.”

Harrell said that some of the most common causes of South Carolina motorcycle accidents include:


    Other vehicles making left turns into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist;
    Other motorists not checking their blind spots for motorcycles; and
    Vehicles pulling out from side streets or driveways in front of an oncoming motorcycle.

When these tragic events occur, it is crucial for victims of motorcycle accidents, or their families, to seek competent legal representation from an experienced South Carolina motorcycle accident attorney, Harrell said.

“Too often, motorcyclists who have been injured in a wreck are once again victimized by insurance companies that try to blame them for the accident,” Harrell said. “Our motorcycle accident attorneys fight for the rights of riders, making sure they get the compensation they deserve for their injuries.”

Modular Buildings and Federal Grants – Working Together with FQHC’s

Modular Buildings and Federal Grants – Working Together with FQHC’s











Modular Medical Clinic


Mansfield, TX (PRWEB) December 20, 2011

With the federal government’s renewed emphasis on providing funding for medical building construction, Design-build contractor Ramtech Building Systems of Mansfield, Texas recently had the opportunity to work with several Federally Qualified Healthcare Centers in developing the required information to complete grant applications for new medical facilities using modular buildings. To start the process, Ramtech met with each of the centers to discuss their specific plans for what they needed in a new building. Following these meetings the personnel were asked to complete Ramtech’s Space Planning Summary outlining the types and number of spaces they required. These included waiting rooms and reception areas, exam rooms, behavioral health offices, dental operatories, labs, conference rooms and public meeting areas, administrative offices, as well as other support areas. Once all of the facility areas were clearly defined, a square footage was determined using a combination of the center’s layout choice and the typical design standards that would apply based on the activity and anticipated number of occupants in each area of the clinic.

“Throughout the entire process Ramtech’s primary goal was to present each center with the most accurate and conservative cost estimates possible,” according to Gary White, Ramtech’s vice-president of sales and estimating. “Then in the event that a grant is received, they will have a comfort level that their new facility can be built within the anticipated established cost.”

With the information gained from the Space Planning Summary, Ramtech’s in-house design team developed an initial schematic floor plan for each provider to review in order to submit comments and changes. By working this way during the revision process, Ramtech was able to develop workable plans that were representative of each center’s desires and needs. Once the review stage was complete, a floor plan and summary of the desired features including the interior and exterior finishes were passed to Ramtech’s estimating department to determine the anticipated price of the proposed project. These estimates included all costs for designing, permitting, and manufacturing of the modular building as well as the expenses associated with the full development of the anticipated site. Once the plans and cost estimates were completed, a comprehensive proposal was developed which included the estimated cost for a turn-key project, a summary of the services to be provided by Ramtech, and an outline specification describing the proposed materials, building systems, and method of construction.

Ramtech Building Systems is able to provide both temporary and permanent facilities utilizing different modular building techniques. For permanent buildings, Ramtech’s Accelerated Building System utilizes the best of onsite and offsite construction by combining the speed and efficiency of prefabricated buildings with the quality and appearance of site applied interior and exterior finishes. This is achieved by employing simultaneous construction tracts. At the same time a site specific, engineered reinforced concrete slab foundation is constructed on the building site, the fabrication of the modular building is taking place in Ramtech’s manufacturing plant. When complete, the building sections are shipped to the project location, crane-set onto the concrete slab, then quickly weathered-in and finished-out on site. This form of design-build construction results in a superior facility with lower overall design and construction costs, a 25 to 40% time savings in the total project schedule, and higher level of quality and safety than projects that are 100% site built.

About Ramtech Building Systems

Since 1982 Mansfield, Texas-based Ramtech Building Systems has been providing innovative permanent facilities and relocatable modular buildings for educational institutions, government agencies, healthcare providers, and commercial and industrial companies throughout the Southern United States. As a design-build construction company, Ramtech offers full in-house design, a manufacturer direct product, and complete site construction services all within a single-source solution. By emphasizing a value engineering approach, Ramtech has successfully completed over 2,500 projects for a wide variety of diverse applications of all sizes.

Sunlighten, the world leader in production and distribution of infrared saunas, is launching a line of Bamboo Carbon Sauna Towels that are uniquely anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and made without the use of harmful dyes or bleaches.

The Sunlighten Bamboo Carbon Towels are made from selected bamboo shoots which are air-dried and charred at 800ºC.

Unlike cotton, hemp, wool or all-synthetic towels, the fiber structure of the Sunlighten Bamboo Carbon Towels is more breathable and thermal-regulating. The Bamboo Carbon Towels are highly absorbent, water wicking and non-irritating, even to sensitive skin.

“We are very excited to announce our new line of Bamboo Carbon Towels,” commented Aaron Zack, Sunlighten CEO. “As a naturally anti-bacterial product made from a sustainable resource, the towels integrate well with our line of natural sauna products. Additionally, the smooth, round structure of the bamboo fibers make the towels amazingly soft. The towels are great for use with your sauna, as well as your bath.”

The Sunlighten Bamboo Carbon Towels are highly absorbent for water and sweat; naturally anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and deodorizing; emit 91% of infrared rays for full exposure; and block up to 98% of UV rays when used in natural sunlight. Bamboo Carbon Towels from Sunlighten are natural gray in color – never dyed or bleached – maintaining the natural properties of the fiber.

The new Sunlighten Bamboo Carbon towels will be available for purchase in January through the Sunlighten.com website and from Sunlighten distributors worldwide.
