“Steinhauer Properties and Sodo Builders have utilized Redistair® on several projects over the years from new office buildings in Seattle to high-rise hospitality in Los Angeles to 100-year-old renovations in historic buildings on the Tacoma waterfront. We have always found the staff to be friendly, professional, and helpful in bringing our projects from design and development through construction. Redistair® helps our projects to be safe and efficient, and GC Solutions has a 100% successful completion rate on our projects....always on time and on budget, even in new markets. They are not the cheapest alternative, but we have repeatedly found them to be the best alternative. lt makes a difference to us when we are building for our own use to have high quality products that serve the test of time. GC Solutions treated us like true trade partners, looking out for the best interest of not only themselves, but their clients and other subcontractors on the project. We look forward to working with RediStair® soon.”
— Christine Cole, Senior Construction Manager, Steinhauer Properties
“This was the first time using RediStair® on one of my projects. We were very successful with this system as it fit perfectly within our decking system. Having access for anyone other than the shoring crew was key. I am using this system on my next project and am looking forward to working with RediStair® again.”
— Spencer Schmidt, Superintendent, Swinerton
“RediStair® was notably quicker and more convenient compared to CIP. Garcia estimated for each flight (comprising of two (2) stair stringers and one (1) mid-landing between floors), his team installed RediStair® with fewer personnel and 43% fewer man-hours compared to a CIP installation.”
— Juan Carlos Garcia, Concrete Superintendent, Orion
“Keystone had recently done a CIP stairwell on a project nearby and would much rather have utilized RediStair®. This is because of the ease of installation in addition to the ~42% per flight man-hour savings due to the reduced amount of labor required to install RediStair® versus forming, reinforcing, and pouring a CIP installation.”
— Pablo Saldana, Superintendent, Keystone Concrete
“DPR received excellent support from RediStair®; everything from design, engineering, quality control, and follow-up at the end of the project! Using RediStair® was an overall time and cost saver for our project (Mayo IERB). Safety was enhanced by eliminating multiple steps of work in an elevated location, and with the ease and quickness of installation, RediStair® allowed for quick access to upper (live) decks, which eliminated the need for temporary stair towers. Overall, we are very satisfied with the great service and product that was provided to our team.”
— Tom Corey, Project Manager, DPR Construction
“The RediStair® product has been great in the past and continues to be the superior product in my opinion. I push for the use of your product whenever I have a high rise. The KTOW (696 S. New Hampshire) project was no different, stairs came out on time, in great condition and as far as I know we had no issues with the entire tower”
— Brett Reichardt, Senior Project Manager, Holland Construction
“Having the stairs installed and usable earlier in the [construction] process was very helpful. We utilized temporary protection (supplied by RediStair®) to ensure we didn’t cause damage to the precast [RediStair® stringers] during construction. I appreciated that the RediStair® system wasn’t a ‘two-step process’ – once the RediStair® stringers were placed, they were immediately usable (as opposed to a steel/pan-filled stair system). Additionally, RediStair® project management was very knowledgeable and always willing to help walk through the details/shop drawings during early field coordination. The RediStair® team was constantly willing to provide helpful feedback which allowed for successful installation & field coordination on the project. I would recommend using RediStair® on future projects, as the system brings many positive impacts to a project site, not only from a project schedule standpoint but more importantly through safety and quality.”
— Tess Massaroni, Superintendent, Mortenson
“RediStair® was a great trade partner at the Cira high rise towers in down town Los Angeles. The team at GC Solutions was responsive and diligent throughout the whole construction process, from engineering and permitting to delivery and installation. The system allowed safe access to the active deck for workers while at the same time minimizing comeback work. I would highly recommend this system and company on any high-rise that puts safety first and has an aggressive schedule.”
— Bryan Peugh, Project Manager, Largo Concrete Inc.
“Webcor Builders and Webcor Concrete have worked with GC Solutions, LLC and the RediStair® precast concrete stair system on multiple institutional and residential projects since 2010. In the past few years, I have been involved in many projects that have selected the RediStair® system and have personally seen the safety and efficiency benefits gained from utilizing the system. RediStair® has successfully worked through the design-build and construction phases with Webcor, the General Contractor, as a true team member to bring difficult projects from the conceptual stages through to completion. In the past two years alone, Webcor Concrete has executed over $1.5M worth of work with GCS. I stand behind the services and quality that GCS brings to a project and would like to express my sincere confidence and desire to work with them in the future.”
— Owen Brizgys, Construction Manager, Webcor Concrete
“Mortenson has performed multiple projects with GC Solutions (GCS). I am highlighting here my experience with GCS on our most recent project together a $250M new construction design-build project for a confidential client in Beaverton, Oregon. GCS provided concrete RediStairs® as well as precast custom panels that created an impressive 490’ long training incline. GCS produced and delivered a quality product that is a testament to their emphasis on quality. GCS always operated with a high level of professionalism. Despite complicated project challenges, GC Solution’s partnership and commitment to the Project’s success did not waiver. They approach challenges head-on and have worked in tandem with our project team to solve these issues. They bring to the table creative solutions and are a true invested partner in the best outcome for the Customer. GCS is a company of honest, forthright individuals with leadership that holds themselves and their teams to high standards of performance excellence. Each and every interaction with GCS was positive, honest and productive. I consider GCS a trusted business partner and recommend their consideration on your next project.”
— Carolyn Sizemore, Sr Project Manager, Mortenson Construction
“This [reference] is intended to convey to the recipient the confidence that Hensel Phelps has in using GC Solutions, LLC (dba RediStair®) on projects that require high quality, timely production, and personal attention to detail. Since 2014, Hensel Phelps has utilized GCS on institutional and military projects totaling in excess of [$2.4] million, with individual PO’s of [$750K] or more. I have personally been involved in two of these projects, at UC Irvine and UC San Diego. Our projects were design-build in nature, and some were running concurrently with each other. GCS has met or exceeded our expectations, and Hensel Phelps intends to continue using GCS and RediStair® where appropriate on future work.”
— Rod Hammett, Project Manager, Hensel Phelps
“With RediStair®, there’s no need for maintaining ladders and floor openings. Easy access to floors using RediStair® instead of ladders. My favorite part, never pouring pan filled stairs again. We usually don’t do this until later in the job and pan filled stairs may create good access for others, but really does not help us much because it happens long after we start. No cleanup of the messy pan filled stair placing process! To me that says it all right there. I could go on and on, but let me sum this up: I never want to pour another pan filled stair again. However, I would love to have RediStair® on all my future projects. More efficient, less money, to me that adds up to a no-brainer!”
— Pete Black, Superintendent, TAS Concrete
“I have been involved with 4 projects where we installed the RediStair® precast stairs system. The quality product and service provided by GC Solutions was excellent. Our clients are happy that we can provide this service to them which helps with safety, schedule and coordination. The crews appreciate the early and safe access to the working deck.”
— Mike Daniel, Project Executive, Largo Concrete
“RediStair®’s innovative precast concrete stair was painless to incorporate into the design of our project. The installation process was straightforward and undemanding and our project was able to utilize RediStair in diverse fashions; in the building’s fitness area, in the interior of the townhouse units, and as the high-rise’s egress stairs. The RediStair team also assisted with obtaining the deferred submittal permit from the City of Los Angeles.”
— Robert Wendinger, Holland Construction
“We were very pleased with the RediStair® team at the Bancroft Hall project in Berkeley, Ca. Due to a non-typical structural detail in the contract documents, we were unable to install the RediStairs in typical sequence. Jacob was very helpful in helping us develop a strategic plan to hoist and “post install” the RediStair® once the active deck had been poured and stressed. I would highly recommend RediStair® for your project.”
— Colin Macinnes, Superintendent, Webcor Concrete
“Hensel Phelps Construction Co has been very pleased with the quality of the RediStair® Precast Stairs on the UCSD Student Housing Project. The system provides access to subsequent elevated decks immediately without the added cost and coordination of a temporary stair or ladder. We have also been able to utilize the permanent handrail embeds with our temporary handrail system for a safe and secure way to provide construction access to the project.”
— Thomas Browning, Hensel Phelps Construction Group
“When it comes to safety, which is my highest concern on all projects, the benefit that RediStair® brings to our jobsites by allowing all trades to safely access the live deck immediately is invaluable.”
— Owen Brizgys, Construction Manager, Webcor Concrete
“I have used RediStair® on multiple projects and am continually pleased with the quality, service, and ease the system provides to the overall project.”
— John Renninger, Senior Superintendent, Largo Concrete
“I found RediStair® to be very user friendly with the design and installation, RediStair® allowed instant access to each deck cutting the need for renting a seven story stair tower. RediStair® installed inserts in the sides of the stair stringers allowing attachment points for temporary safety rails; we also accelerated the permanent hand rail install thanks to the design drawings from RediStair®. I look forward to working with Rich and his team at RediStair® in the future, I found they not only saved us time and money on the project they were more than willing to review the project in depth eliminating any design problems up front.”
— Bill Hoylman, Superintendent, Foushee
“The RediStair® system is great for builders; it saves contractors the hassle of multiple pump mobilizations required with pan-filled stairs. The innovation built in to the RediStair® system allows us to reduce time and cost expectations.”
— Kyle Forbes, Senior Superintendent, Largo Concrete
“Because we own and operate the projects we build, it is important to us to have high quality, long term, cost effective systems in the buildings we produce. RediStair® was our choice for concrete stairs in our new Stadium Innovation Center (Seattle, WA), and after our experience of working with RediStair®, we will be installing them again at our current project Home Plate Center. Great innovation, good customer service…I would recommend RediStair® to any contractor looking to maintain safe accessible egress during construction, without added cost.”
— Patrick Nickerson, Vice President, SODO Builders
“Our team has completed two projects in the last two years and we used the RediStair® system on both projects. The RediStair® precast stairs are fast, clean, and get you access to the live deck as soon as you set the stair. The RediStair® staff/team has also been great to work with - from clean and easy-to-read shop drawings, all the way to the tech support, their team is always available to help us out if we have any questions.”
— Charles Cuin, Project Engineer, Largo Concrete
“The RediStair® product was successfully used on two projects that I’ve worked on over the last three years. The RediStair® design is flexible enough to be used in a variety of different situations, from the vomitory stairs in a sports arena to the primary access / egress stairs in a biotech research / office building. The RediStair® team is more than willing to spend plenty of time up front making sure the design will work, prior to fabrication. This made the installation of the RediStair® products progress smoothly and quickly when they arrived on site.”
— Josh Curry, Senior Scheduling Engineer, Mortenson Construction
“RediStair®’s integration into the multiple high-rise projects that I’ve been a part of that have utilized the system has been straightforward and simple. RediStair® Project Management is always cooperative and readily available to help our project when challenges arrive. They consistently went above and beyond and assisted our project team with obtaining the necessary City of Los Angeles deferred submittal permits.”
— Drake Robinson, APM, Largo Concrete
“Overall, my experience with GC Solutions dba Redistair® was great. For their scope of engineering design/fabrication/delivery of precast stairs, GCS was attentive to the designer’s and installers needs and the architect was pleased with the overall finished product.”
