Aries Provides Housing for Gerloff Company During Hurricane Recovery

The worst of nature often brings out some of humanity’s best qualities. Diligent teamwork and neighborly support were on the forefront of recent cleanup and relief efforts after Hurricane Harvey left extensive damage on the Texas Coastal Bend.

Just days after Hurricane Harvey made initial strike, a large team of Gerloff Company’s fire and water damage restoration specialists set out to assess damage and begin restoring communities. The task at hand required a couple weeks of work, as multiple properties were restored from the damage they endured.

To accommodate the hard work of the Gerloff restoration team, Aries Residence Suites made available enough space to comfortably house more than 25 Gerloff personnel. The team stayed at the Three Rivers extended stay man camp. The comfort and privacy of the individual sleeping quarters and bathroom facilities were noted as much appreciated by the Gerloff team.

Aries is well accustomed to providing temporary housing for individuals working long, hard hours away from home, as a large part of their customer base is oil field workers. Comfort and hospitality are highly valued at Aries. The company understands the importance of having a truly comfortable, even homely, place to relax after a hard day’s work; and a hard day’s work certainly defines the efforts put forth by the Gerloff team.

Gerloff Company was quick to act, providing multiple commercial properties with water extraction services-using quality equipment and techniques to remove water from the premises and dry and restore building interiors and contents. Gerloff’s immediate response not only decreases the likelihood of long-term damage in the form of mold, mildew, etc., but also helped to ensure community business and livelihood could quickly resume.

The immediate accommodations made by Aries helped the Gerloff team’s immediate response be executed with ease and convenience. The renowned personability of the Aries staff also surely helped in keeping spirits high in a potentially stressful time. A Gerloff employee noted in an interview that the team has stayed at several different man camps in the past, and several employees stated, in comparison, that Aries is “the best one they have ever stayed at.” In true Texas spirit, the staff at Aries Three Rivers make genuine hospitality a priority.

Also in true Texas spirit, Mr. Darren Gerloff, Gerloff Company CEO, prepared food and drinks to provide to families and individuals in the affected area during the first weekend of the cleanup effort.

While nature and its fury may be unpredictable, these two companies stand prepared with consistently professional teamwork and generosity.

Gerloff Company can be contacted for emergency services, anytime, 24/7 at 512-926-8833 (Austin location) or 210-490-2777 (San Antonio main office).

Aries Residence Suites are seasoned in disaster relief services, as well, available to provide temporary housing for workforces or deliverable, modular homes for those directly affected by disaster. Aries can be contacted at 888-995-2971 or [email protected].

VisionARIES – Q&A with Regina Lucas (Spotlight)

2024-10-16T13:52:33+00:00

Roles and Responsibilities:

I am the Texas Regional Camp Manager overseeing the daily operations of Aries Workforce Housing and subcontractors in Oklahoma, West Texas, and South Texas.

How did you come to meet the folks at Aries?

It is actually a funny story. I was a Massage Therapist and managing my own rental properties in Hobbs, New Mexico. My daughter was the Branch Manager for the staffing agency that was contracted with Aries. The position was for running the guard shack for the Lovington Lodge location for a two week assignment. After two weeks, I was hooked and completed the contract with Aries.

How long have you been with Aries?

The two weeks assignment has turned into nearly 4 years with Aries.

Where did you work prior to joining Aries?

I am a career Flight Attendant with Southwest Airlines retiring after 17 years. I then became a business owner opening up a tanning salon and a Victoria Secrets style boutique.

When you’re not at work, what would we find you doing?

I am a big-time family person. Spending time with my family at an outdoor concert, going to the casino, or donating my time at the local animal shelter.

What would “your perfect workday” consist of?

Making connections for future business, leading a successful team, and no vacancies at any of my camp locations.

Your favorite “non-work” activity you and your father enjoy doing together.

My father is 86 and still active. I take him to his senior citizen activities and lunch. My father really enjoys his senior citizen dances and loves the attention the ladies give him. He’s a cutie!

What sets Aries apart from other companies that deliver the same thing?

The culture. Upper management really takes a personal interest in its employees. Aries is big on family and provide a great balance between work and family life. That is something you do not find with other companies.

Any local recommendations for people staying at any of the camps you oversee? Restaurants, sights?

Oklahoma’s camp is a 30 minutes from the city. Sonora has the beautiful Sonora Caverns, Odessa and Goldsmith are in the Permian Basin which is the oil field capital of Texas and Midland has the childhood home of George W. Bush.

Anything that surprised you about the workforce housing industry that you didn’t forsee when you started?

The camp life gets in your blood. The passion and the lifestyle gets in your blood.

If you weren’t in the workforce housing industry, what job would you probably be doing?

I would be running an Animal Rescue Shelter. I have a big heart for animals especially those who do not have a home.

2025-02-20T22:29:16+00:00

Multifamily Modular Construction is Gaining Ground

2019-08-30T17:47:05+00:00

Brooklyn Navy Yards is doing it. Marriott is doing it. Hilltop House is doing it.

And what exactly are they doing? Multifamily Modular Construction.

The 2017 trend for construction is ‘trim the fat’. While that’s always a focus for developers, as lenders get tighter and partnerships are starting to sweat the small stuff when it comes to return on investment and competition, developers and construction timeliness are finding out that modular construction is the new hot trend: shorter timelines, faster to market, higher returns, and an overall better investment.

Multifamily modular construction like rental apartments, mixed-use lifestyle centers, and upzoning municipalities are stronger than ever. (Feeling the strain from your lender? RAM, the financial arm of Aries Residence Suites and Aries Building Systems can finance your next multifamily development) As developers realize the wider margins available on using prefabricated modular construction, the myth and the rumors about modular being box-like, ugly, and plain have long been overturned.

Not only is multifamily hot in commercial development, but as unemployment drops and single family housing becomes less affordable in desirable and growing cities, luxury apartments are starting to appeal to buyers who gave up the search for buying. As things like temporary, sustainability, and economic factoring come into play, cities are scrambling to provide housing faster and cheaper. Boston held a design competition where the winner used modular building design. A common construction pain point is the lack of labor, which modular construction can help reduce labor costs but still maintain high quality results.

With a prediction of all sectors of construction increasing in 2017, you can expect to see more companies turn to modular building, especially in the housing industry, whether it is apartments, townhomes, or even temporary housing for workers who are aiding in the growth of specific economic areas. In fact, buy a whole ‘camp’ from Aries Building Systems!

Employee Spotlight – Farokh Ram

2019-02-08T21:57:56+00:00

For those that put stock in anagrams, it’s hard to not notice the irony of a man named Farokh Ram holding the position of RAM’s General Manager and “obstacle remover and lead everything-er” at Reliant Asset Management. His duties at RAM cover a wide array of responsibilities: Remarketing, lease initiation and maintenance, customer relations, 3rd party dealer relations, and the management of company-wide government contracts and the portfolios of 3rd party leased assets, business development and capture. In other words, he’s a very busy man.

 

Prior to coming onboard with RAM 4 years back, Farokh’s primary focus was real estate and property management. In fact, he still retains his real estate license and practices on the side. (How much do you want to bet that this is a man that needs very little sleep?!) Before his real estate career, Farokh worked with Resun Leasing. If you know your RAM history, Resun Leasing was one of the earlier iterations of the company – RAM/ABS/AMSI – also founded by Barry and Mike Roman. This was when his pilgrimage into the modular building industry began, in 1998 alongside the Roman brothers way-back-when. And before this? Take a wild guess. Never mind, you’ll never guess: he ran his own business for over a decade involving the import, distribution, wholesale, and retail of cut flowers and ornamental plants in the Washington DC area. One can quickly come to realize that Farokh is a person that fully commits to life, and all it has to offer.

 

When asked, “When you’re not at work, what would we find you doing?” Ram’s response was, “I love to travel, although I don’t do nearly enough of it. I like going out and walking, milling about in and around Washington DC, discover new neighborhoods, buildings, points of interest, stopping in at restaurants and bars and test driving, and generally canvassing areas. I can do this alone, or with my wife, or daughters, or dog, or a friend or two, or any combination thereof. On any given weekend, I can be expected to spend a fair number of hours shopping for and preparing meals at home. I also keep up with my real estate interests to the extent possible.”

 

And his perfect day? “A perfect day would be away from home, perhaps on vacation, in a new place where I have spent a few days already and gotten to know the neighborhood. Family and friends would be along with me and staying at a nice rented house. I would get up early and go to the market and buy all the ingredients for a nice supper meal. Come home and put away the purchases and meet up with all the rest of the company as they wake up and get going, have breakfast, and set about the plans for the day which would preferably include a trip to a very cool beach. Come back in the late afternoon, clean up and set about preparing the evening meal with the help of others in the company, put out a nice spread and enjoy a wonderful dinner with family and friends, in a relaxed and positive energy frame of mind.” (Is it me, or can you foresee Farokh opening a Bed & Breakfast someday?)

 

And now we know why Farokh Ram brings a certain “X factor” to the family of Aries companies. He understands independence, accountability, creativity, and balance. These are also the very things that he appreciates about working with Aries/RAM. “The latitude and trust afforded top down to the employees, and an entrepreneurial culture of work and expertise that is at first glance unassuming, yet brings out the best in everyone. A spirit of cooperation, receptivity, and responsiveness. An attitude that says “….yes, that is possible.” Yes, Farokh Ram. The future is bright for Reliant Asset Management and the Aries team. The world IS your oyster.
