RH Design Build LLC

What RH Design Build LLC does

RH Design Build LLC is a privately held, bootstrapped design-build construction firm founded in 2015 and headquartered at 1951 Bowen Street, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The company is structured as an equal partnership between general contractor Dennis Ruedinger and licensed architect Susan Hirschberg, AIA, who together lead a seven-person team with over 100 years of combined industry experience. The firm provides integrated architectural design and construction services spanning residential, commercial, and light industrial projects for clients in Oshkosh, the Fox Cities, Fond du Lac, and surrounding areas of Northeastern Wisconsin.

The company's service offering covers the full project lifecycle — architectural design, permitting, zoning, code review, budgeting, scheduling, subcontractor coordination, and construction — under a single integrated design-build model. Core service lines include residential new construction, additions, remodeling, kitchens, and baths; commercial and light industrial work such as space planning, historical rehabilitation, and leasehold build-out; and specialty projects such as wine cellars, feature walls, and skylights. RH Design Build also operates as the only Andersen Certified Contractor in Northeastern Wisconsin and as an authorized Plato Woodwork dealer, allowing it to resell complementary building products alongside its construction services.

The business operates on a project-based, one-time fee revenue model with custom quotes issued per project scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct, local, and relationship-driven, with the company website as the primary digital presence and minimal broader marketing activity. There is no disclosed technology platform, software product, or AI/ML component; the firm functions as a traditional craft-services business whose competitive position rests on talent credentials, local subcontractor relationships, and the exclusive Andersen certification rather than on technology or scale.

Broad incumbents

• Miron Construction: Wisconsin-based general contractor and design-builder serving commercial, industrial, and institutional clients throughout the Midwest. Comparable in offering breadth (design + construction) but materially larger scale, making it a strong broad incumbent peer for the commercial side of RH Design Build's business.
• J.H. Findorff & Son: Wisconsin-based construction firm with design-build and construction management capabilities across commercial, healthcare, and education sectors. Similar Midwest regional presence and integrated delivery model, but materially larger and broader in scope.
• Boldt Company: Wisconsin-headquartered construction and design services firm with integrated design-build capabilities across commercial, industrial, and institutional markets. Significantly larger than RH Design Build but operates in the same regional ecosystem and competes for similar commercial/light industrial work in the Fox Valley.
• HGA Architects and Engineers: Midwest-based architecture and engineering firm with design capabilities overlapping the architectural design services offered by RH Design Build. Comparable in design expertise and regional Midwest presence, though at substantially larger scale and broader portfolio.
