Raineri began as a family partnership. The founding partners launched it in 2003 as a client-first firm, and today Ashley Raineri leads it as President, with Anthony (Tony) Raineri as Executive Vice President. They say they are business owners building for other business owners.
The company describes itself as the innovative force in general building and civil construction in the Midwest, and as redefining cityscapes. What that looks like on the ground is a register of named St. Louis jobs, from the brick-and-steel corner at 4101 Laclede to the Buckley Road Bridge and the new curb lines on 7th Street.
The firm’s own line is short: forging new ways of doing. “We are resolutionists.” It also says approach defines achievement, and that experience matters. The pages that follow are the evidence, in the order a drawing set would give it: who, how, and to what standard. See the services for scope, or the project register for the work itself.
Eight working habits the firm lists as its process. Two carry most of the weight, so they come first.
Every job is planned trade by trade before mobilization. Each crew gets a window, the sequence is written down, and the owner can see when the building opens or the road reopens. Pre-construction budgets and schedules are built while the drawings are still being settled, which is cheaper than finding the problem in the field.
Raineri keeps its own tradespeople and its own well-maintained equipment. On the civil side that meant self-perform crews on the Buckley Road Bridge for St. Louis County. Where a specialty needs outside hands, strategic trade partners are chosen on purpose, not by whoever bid lowest that week.
Safety at Raineri is a program with its own written plan, not a poster in the trailer. The firm created its own Injury and Illness Prevention Plan, and Safety and Manpower Manager Brian Moore owns it, along with the question of who is on site and whether they are ready for the work in front of them.
