Rcc Associates

What Rcc Associates does

RCC Associates is a privately held, women-owned commercial general contractor founded in 1971 and headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The company specializes in restaurant, hospitality, retail, and commercial construction, operating under licenses in 30 U.S. states spanning from Hawaii to Puerto Rico. Its core service offering is organized into three pillars: pre-construction services (site analysis, budgeting, value engineering, permit expediting), general contracting for build-outs and ground-up projects, and a post-delivery in-house Service Department that provides warranty work, plumbing, drain cleaning, sewer jetting, pressure washing, and a recurring preventive plumbing maintenance program for restaurant clients. The customer base consists almost entirely of enterprise brands, with anchor relationships at The Cheesecake Factory (100 projects), P.F. Chang's, Del Frisco's Grille, Shake Shack, Zuma, COTE, Mila, PGA National Resort, Ritz Carlton, Harry Winston, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Hublot.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue with a growing recurring component from the maintenance program. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific; no public pricing is disclosed. Go-to-market relies on reputation, repeat clients, and referrals, with the company stating 90% of projects come from repeat customers. The company is family-controlled: Beverly Raphael Altman serves as CEO and Chairwoman following founder Richard Raphael's death in 1998, with her daughter Robyn Raphael Dynan as President, and Rick Rhodes (joined 1983) as Executive Vice Partner and the licensed qualifier in 30 states. RCC is self-funded with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.

The company reports an average annual revenue of approximately $150M, up from roughly $20M in 1998, employs 54 full-time field and office staff, lists 120 completed projects, and holds multi-year South Florida Business Journal recognition as one of the largest women-owned businesses in the region. There is no meaningful technology moat or AI capability; differentiation rests on multi-decade relationships, brand portfolio, multi-state licensure, and execution quality in detailed interior hospitality finishes and historic renovations.
