Our mission
INNOVATIVE CONCRETE BUILDING SOLUTIONS THAT DEFY MOTHER NATURE
What's in a name
Why "Remote Alaska Solutions?"
We are often asked about the meaning behind our company name. The truth is, we can't think of a better way to describe what it's like to build in this great State of Alaska other than "Remote." Although our location in the Anchorage Basin / Matanuska River Valley is far from bush Alaska, constructing buildings and working below grade anywhere in Alaska is fundamentally remote. Whether we're building in the bush, in Anchorage or in the Valley, Alaska's topography is relentless in presenting its own unique challenges in terms of logistics, excavation, extreme weather, bedrock, permafrost, and more. As a solutions-based company, we specialize in finding innovative answers to the wide array of challenges that remote Alaska presents.
