A structural engineering division of RSK Engineering
Acquired in 2021, Vertika Engineers brought dedicated structural engineering expertise into the RSK network, deepening the capabilities we deliver across every project. Led by President Rawhi Khalifeh, Vertika operates alongside RSK Engineering, collaborating on structural projects and bringing specialized depth to every discipline we serve.
Vertika holds a Marine Structures Certification through the Port of Houston Facility Inspection and Condition Assessment Program
Vertika's structural work spans hospitality, multifamily residential, commercial, mixed-use, retail, restaurant, charter school, and adaptive reuse projects throughout the United States and internationally. Their client roster includes Home2 Suites by Hilton, Marriott branded properties, Holiday Inn, and Starbucks, projects that reflect both the scale and precision their team brings to hospitality and commercial work.
Their approach is simple: structural solutions designed to be built, not just engineered on paper. From new construction to complex retrofits, every design is grounded in real-world conditions, long-term performance, and what actually works in the field.
A construction affiliate of RSK Engineering
RK ZONE Construction has joined forces with RSK Engineering, extending our network into full construction management and administration. With 31 years of experience in design and 10 years in commercial construction. The company has built a portfolio spanning gas stations, retail centers, restaurants, hotels, car washes, and institutional facilities including religious and community centers.
Managed by licensed engineer Rawhi Khalifeh, RK ZONE operates with a level of engineering oversight that most general contractors cannot offer. Decisions made in the field are informed by the same technical depth that shaped the design.
Their teams perform and manage multiple construction divisions including sitework, concrete, and framing, coordinating all trades to maintain quality, schedule, and budget throughout construction.
Available as a standalone service or as a natural extension of your RSK engineering scope, RK ZONE gives clients the option to bring their project from design through build under one trusted network.
