Handbook for the Architectural/ Engineering & Construction Community. He has been Director at Fluor Daniel, one of the largest diversified design and construction services firms in the world, with Masters Degree in Mathematics and Physics engineering-related emphasis. His expertise lies in construction operations of several types and expertise in building and general contracting. His interest includes residential construction (home building), construction management, general contracting, engineering managing subcontractors, a practical knowledge of most disciplines/trades, estimating and strong engineering background.

His general engineering construction work includes an array of projects from large to small, from home building and mid rise building to large industrial projects, from design to full-scale site construction. As President of RDH, Mr. Hart had been performing general construction, and investing in California building and real estate development including low, mid and high rise construction. He is also providing engineering services and entitlement services in construction involving home building and low rise construction. His past construction and general contracting experience includes home building, apartments, condominiums, schools, hotels, medical buildings, mid and high rise buildings, transportation, and urban re-development including public works projects.

Mr. Hart was the 1996 Vice President of ASQ and founded one of its fastest growing divisions (design and construction). In 2000, Mr Hart was been nominated by the U.S. Department of Commerce to serve on the Board of Examiners for the United States Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. A well-known construction management and general contracting expert, he has also served on the Boards of American Society for Quality (ASQ) (1992-96) and a Senior Judge for the Secretary of the Air Force Unit Award (1993-97), and a Judge for the USA Today/RIT Cup. Mr. Hart has held numerous other posts and received many honors in the field of construction. He has also authored a second construction-related book on urban city redevelopment by ASQ entitled, A Nation Reconstructed: Quest For The Cities That Can Be released in October of 1996. An important segment of his most recent book is devoted to the contracting and rebuilding of urban structures around the country. Mr. Hart was featured (authored) in the 1998 issue of DESIGN-BUILD MAGAZINE on "Reconstructing the nation's distressed urban areas will require fresher ideas and more flexible contracting" with a focus on public works projects at the local level. In addition, his first book pertaining to architectural/ engineering and construction is a text being used by many construction companies around the country.

Mr Hart and RDH Group Development Corporation was also featured in September 2008 Builder/Architect magazine, “build upon the foundation of construction field experience, a highly analytical approach, and dedication to offering the highest quality at every turn,” Orange County Edition.

to offering the highest quality at every turn, RDH Group Development Corporation is setting a new standard in the

building and development industry. Founder Roger Hart has seamlessly blended an array of skills and an ex-tensive background in construction to create a fi rm with headquarters in Orange County, whose reach extends to an international clientele.

“I paid my dues in the fi eld,” notes Roger, who worked as an engineer and as a licensed builder on the East Coast before joining Fluor Daniel, one of the world’s largest and most diversi-fi ed construction services and design fi rms. As a Director with the $18-bil-lion+ construction conglomerate, he oversaw massive projects and helped manage thousands of employees. Among the myriad of lessons learned, Roger says, was the importance of a strong leadership team. “I’ve learned that management will make or break a project,” he asserts.

With master’s degrees in math-ematics and physics with emphases on engineering-related fi elds, Roger offers a unique perspective that blends theory and practice. In addition to teaching construction courses at the University of Massachusetts, he has also penned two books: A Nation Reconstructed: A Quest for the Cities That Can Be, and Quality Handbook for the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction Community. In 1997, seeking the opportunity to put his ideas into action on his own terms, Roger formed RDH Group Development Corporation. “In the past, there were times when I’d try to

implement new ideas and was faced with someone telling me, ‘That’s not corporate policy,’” he recalls of his motivation to go solo. “So, I decided to start my own corporate policy!” he chuckles.

Though he “started small,” Roger notes that he has consistently doubled and tripled his volume. The company’s focus, he states, is primarily on residential construction in Orange County, with a specialty on estate homes ranging from $3.5 to $10 million. Still, RDH Group Development Corporation has had a hand in an impressive range of projects including California’s Pasadena Design Center and the currently under development Williams Springs Equestrian Estates, as well as highway and commercial projects in Canada and Fiji. Driving every project that RDH Group Development Corporation handles, says Roger, is a promise of exceptional quality at a reasonable price.

“We build quality into our product,” Roger asserts, adding that cost effectiveness is a key element in his company’s ability to meet or exceed client expectations, while staying within budget. “We plan like crazy,” he reveals. “It’s my goal to be as cost effective as possible on every project.” In addition

to detailed planning, he also uses contractor incentives and handles much of the upfront work in order to reduce wasted funds. “We usually handle grading, most of the underground and road work, steel construction, curb fi nishes and foun-dations,” Roger explains. “By the time our subs are on site, we’re able to be more competitive in our bidding. It translates into a better level of service for our customers.

“There is a Japanese term, ‘delight the customer,’ that I allude to in terms of the quality of care that we provide for our clients,” continues Roger. “We consistently strive to provide that ‘wow’ effect, and we are constantly as-sessing our work, measuring results and implementing procedures aimed at helping us to improve upon our fi n-ished product.” Following the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Reward Criteria, he notes, is a path guaranteed for project success. “We follow ISO 9000 Quality System Standards, and we believe the best approach to design and construction development is anticipating problems and avoiding them,” he says.

The Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Reward, estab-



lished by Congress in 1987, recognizes organizations within the United States for their achievements in quality and performance, based upon stringent judging in the areas of leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, measurement, analysis and knowledge management, process management, human resources and results. For Roger, who has served on the board of examiners for the prestigious award, there is simply no better path to success than to follow the detailed standards and criteria upon which the award is based. He also taps into his experience as a senior judge for the Secretary of the Air Force Unit Award, a judge for the USA Today/RIT Cup, and the boards of American Society for

Quality (ASQ), in implementing the highest levels of quality processes and services.

Ultimately, a builder and developer is only as good as his product. Both Roger and his homes have been lauded by cli-ents and professionals alike for beauty, quality and attention to detail. Realtor Jeana Keough, who has represented RDH Group Development Corporation homes and will continue to work with the fi rm on its Williams Springs Equestrian Estates project, observes, “Roger is a great builder of custom homes; every house he’s built is simply amazing!” She adds, “His attention to detail is right up there with the best build-ers in Coto de Caza and Rancho Santa Fe.”

Among the current projects RDH Group Development Corporation is handling, is an enclave of 10 luxury custom homes in Capistrano Beach “with magnifi cent views of the ocean.” While the homes feature designs based upon Tuscan themes, Roger notes that each is unique in its appearance. “There’s an original look, a distinct style, for each home,” he says. “We’re offering a range of looks within the Tuscan architecture, for a neighborhood that is fl uid and congruent, that avoids the ‘cookie cutter’ syndrome.” Sizes range from 4,000 to 5,000 square feet of living space, and each home features a convenient “lower-level” basement and roof decks with fi replaces.

With a history of success and a commitment to quality, Roger and RDH Group Development Corporation seem destined to continue to craft a reputation as one of the area’s highest-quality

home builders. Expansion, says Roger, is on the horizon. Projected developments include work in Canada, Mexico, Madras and Fiji, as well as the United States. “It’s time for a paradigm shift, to reach out to other markets. This enables us to further hone and improve upon our processes and systems, and to bring the best designs and products back here.” ■
