Working With Architects Across the State
RPC works with architecture firms, engineering consultants, and interior designers on commercial projects from Houston to Austin, San Antonio to the Rio Grande Valley. Our specification support covers the full project timeline, from schematic design through construction administration. When product questions come up during construction, our team is available to resolve submittals, substitution requests, and field coordination issues.
Design Solutions
Architectural Design Services and Specification Support for Commercial Projects
RPC partners with architects and specifiers to select, configure, and document the right architectural products for every commercial project in Texas. From early concept through final specification, our team provides the product expertise your design process requires.
What We Do
Supporting Your Design Process
RPC provides architectural design services that help architects and specifiers integrate operable walls, skylights, louvers, glass walls, chutes, and accordion doors into their building designs. Our team offers product selection guidance, performance data, specification writing, and coordination with manufacturer engineering departments. Whether you are evaluating daylighting design options for a school or configuring space flexibility design for a convention center, RPC delivers the technical support you need to specify with confidence.
From Concept to Specification
The Design Process
Four phases from initial consultation through final documentation.
01
Consultation
We meet with your design team to review the project scope, discuss performance requirements, and identify which architectural products fit the building program.
02
Product Selection
RPC evaluates product options across our six manufacturer partners and recommends systems based on your project’s acoustic, thermal, structural, and aesthetic criteria.
03
Specification Writing
Our team prepares or reviews CSI-formatted product specifications, ensuring that materials, performance standards, and installation requirements are documented accurately.
04
Documentation
RPC coordinates shop drawings, BIM models, CAD details, and product submittals so your construction documents are complete before bidding begins.

Our Capabilities
What We Offer
Specification support, product expertise, and technical resources for your design team.
Product Expertise
RPC represents six manufacturer partners across operable walls, skylights, louvers, glass walls, chutes, and accordion doors. Our team knows each product line’s capabilities, limitations, and specification requirements so you can make informed design decisions without contacting multiple vendors.
Specification Writing
RPC prepares and reviews product specifications in CSI format for inclusion in your construction documents. We ensure performance criteria, material standards, and installation methods are specified correctly for each product in the project.
BIM and CAD Support
RPC provides BIM families, CAD details, and shop drawings for the products we supply. Our documentation integrates with your Revit or AutoCAD workflow so product geometry, clearances, and connection details are accurate in your building model. BIM families and CAD details are available in Revit (.rfa) and AutoCAD (.dwg) formats from our manufacturer partners.
