Ramaker Looks Forward to a Bright 2023
2022 brought back a renewed sense of optimism, giving Ramaker the opportunity to expand on innovations set in motion since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ramaker’s architectural, engineering, and interior design teams have continued to pull together to address client concerns and find creative solutions. From offsetting rising material prices by redesigning project elements to keeping projects across the country on schedule by leveraging remote work and virtual meetings, the firm’s employee-owners have shown their resilience and resourcefulness.
In fact, the owner mindset has paid off. The Wisconsin State Journal named Ramaker one of the Madison area’s Top Workplaces in 2022.
We navigated a change in leadership. In April, Mike Pinske, a longtime employee-owner at Ramaker, transitioned to President & CEO.
We resumed our traditions of company picnics, team gatherings, holiday parties, and recreational sports.
And, most importantly, we did good work for our partners and fellow employee-owners.
As we enter 2023, Ramaker’s team is ready to build upon innovations from last year. However, before we can figure out where we’re going, we have to assess where we’re at. In this post, we’ll share highlights from 2022 and preview some of the things we’re looking forward to this year.

In 2022, the Ramaker team invited new challenges and honed their expertise in the aquatics and recreation, cemetery, commercial development, hospitality, multifamily development, renewable energy, restaurant and retail, and telecommunications industries, further solidifying the firm’s position as a one-stop shop for architecture and engineering projects of all scopes and sizes.
Ramaker also demonstrated its commitment to the communities where the firm’s employee-owners live and work. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) committee announced the recipients of the third annual Ramaker’s 12 Days of Giving, which was introduced in 2020. Throughout December, Ramaker donated to food pantries and community outreach organizations that support local families.
Looking ahead to 2023
