Founded in 2010 by brothers and business partners Michael and Barry Roman, Reliant Asset Management is the culmination of over thirty years hard work, perseverance, and experience in the modular construction industry. Building off of the success of their previous modular construction financing company Resun leasing, Inc., the Roman brothers initially created RAM to provide modular buildings and workforce housing for an array of professional needs. In the recent past, they have expanded the company’s reach by acquiring a number of subsidiaries – including Class Leasing Inc. which serves the education sector in California.

“The future of the RAM family of companies is extremely bright.” explains co-founder and Vice President Michael Roman. “The education and commercial sectors are strong. RAM is rapidly moving from a third party finance company to a powerhouse lease originator and remarketer. We are redeploying assets returned from initial operating leases and realizing very solid values.” Indeed, RAM’s push into newer sectors including education and leasing has allowed to company to adapt and thrive, even during tumultuous economic conditions.

Roman goes on to say that, “we are focusing on systems development and refining work processes and procedures so that when energy does come back, and it will, we will be positioned to capitalize on the next phase of hyper-growth.” While oil and energy may not be having the best year, you can rest assured that Reliant Asset Management is in the best possible position to capitalize on the industry’s inevitable bounce-back. In the meantime, RAM’s rapidly diversifying portfolio shows strong returns for this relatively young company.

“The success of the RAM companies is the direct result of the collective efforts of a highly skilled and dedicated team of professionals working toward a common goal.” With RAM on your team, it’s hard to see your future as anything but bright.

It’s no secret what 3D printing is anymore. Amazing jumps in technology have allowed us to create, innovate, and possibly do it at a faster pace and lower cost than traditional production with 3D printing. Let’s imagine for a minute what modular building is: building pieces off-site and constructing the pieces together on-site. We also have heard it called ‘prefab’ construction (more popular in residential building communities).

When it comes to traditional construction, you pick your site, you stack your lumber, steel, and materials on site, and you have a building. As you build, you have inspectors that make sure you are passing codes, zoning, and somewhere a general contractor is tracking cost, inventory, labor, theft (happens more than you think), and on top of that is trying to determine the weather patterns to make sure his crew doesn’t get rained out.

Modular construction literally lets you build the walls (and other pieces) at a separate location to specification, there’s no worry about theft, and the pieces are built to code and zoning regulations and inspectors approve multiple pieces at a time. You literally have an inventory of modular structures that can be transported off the shelf like a prefabricated building store.

It’s obvious to see that there’s benefit to modular over traditional construction (and FEMA agrees) and they are just as sturdy; if not more sturdy (ask HUD) than traditional building. In fact, modular buildings are more common than you could imagine.
But what about 3D printing?

Investors and builders everywhere have stars in their eyes as they imagine lower material usage, lower labor costs, and less expensive construction costs in general: what a beautiful profit!

And yes, there are benefits as pointed out by UC Berkely research. Imagine having giant 3D printer warehouses that can now build at the warehouse and be shipped off to site much like the modular building process? Currently, printers only manufacture out of plastic, resin, ceramics, and certain metals. However, the printers are quite costly, and the circuit boards and ability to program these printers is quite timely. The next problem is the size of these printers: which is not small. We also still have yet to see a 3D printer complete a project with the speed and accuracy of modular building. Beyond that, large 3D printers cannot finish a project (meaning the aesthetic finished look) and needs another step to have a project ‘completed’. And something that is even a step beyond THAT notion, are the tech files behind 3D printing: will there be intellectual property rights on a digital file that protects a manufacturer in a certain ‘wall type’ or similar? While 3D printing has its roots in creating sustainable and cheap building, do we now have a marketplace flaw that will inhibit production costs?

Now let’s throw in another factor of the final process of building and construction: things like electric, plumbing, windows, doors, joints, finishes, all which require significant labor and time: and are all inter-dependent on where you’re building. Los Angeles has different building codes for fire, earthquake, and wind than Houston, which needs less earthquake assurances than say; hurricane sturdiness (Aries prides itself on blast resistant buildings).

For now, the amount of work beyond printing is just as much, if not more time strenuous and labor intensive as building modular. While there are great strides in 3D printing construction (check out what they’re doing in Singapore) there are many unknown factors. It is something that Aries may consider in the future as 3D printing evolves as the standard and quality of printing improves.
