R & H Ranks in Labor Survey

Portland R&H Construction Co. was recently named the 11th best company to work for in Oregon based on a survey compiled by Oregon Business Magazine. The survey relies primarily on feedback from each firm's employees and management. Two years ago, R&H was listed 17th on the same list.

"It is nice to be recognized by the Oregon business community as the 11th best company to work for in the state," said Robert Fulton, R&H Construction Co.'s CEO. "Realistically though, its our people who make R&H such a great place to work. The award is simply the result of everyone's efforts." R&H employees sited excellent benefits, great work environment and a high level of trust in their employer as a few of the reasons why R&H is such a great place to work.

With offices located in Portland and Bend, R&H has the ability to handle projects of all sizes from small tenant improvements to large-scale commercial projects.
