Easy to Reference in Your Contracts

Why RYL?

  • When you refer to the RYL service in your tender documents and contracts, all contractors receive the same quality requirements at once. This makes tenders easier to prepare and bids easier to compare.
  • You do not need to repeatedly draft detailed requirements for every work phase from project to project in contracts and tender documentation.
  • RYL also simplifies the preparation of project-specific documents (construction specifications and work descriptions), reducing the need to repeat the same requirements across multiple projects.

How Professionals Use RunkoRYL

Structural Designer – Ensure Structural Performance from the Drawing Board

A structural engineer designs the frame of a residential building, including columns, beams, slabs, and connections. The plans define load-bearing capacity, bracing, and load transfer requirements.

Instead of describing every detail and construction method from scratch, the design documents refer to RunkoRYL quality requirements.

When construction begins, RunkoRYL serves as a common technical backbone that ensures solutions are implemented as designed.

Benefits for Designers

  • Reduces the need for detailed specifications
  • Supports constructability of structural solutions
  • Improves alignment between design documents and site execution
  • Provides confidence that critical structures are built correctly

Developer and Client – Secure the Foundation of the Project

A developer initiates a commercial building project where structural frame quality affects the entire lifecycle of the building.

Tender documents refer to RunkoRYL, providing clear and consistent requirements for structural frame construction without having to define everything separately.

During the contract phase, RunkoRYL serves as a common foundation to which all parties commit.

Benefits for Developers and Clients

  • Consistent quality standards from the start of the project
  • Better cost predictability
  • Fewer surprises during structural construction
  • A reliable foundation for the building’s entire lifecycle

Precast Manufacturers and the Concrete Industry – Clear Requirements for Production

A precast factory manufactures concrete elements for construction sites, including walls, slabs, and columns.

RunkoRYL defines tolerances, surface quality requirements, and dimensional accuracy, enabling standardized production and quality assurance already at the factory.

Benefits for Manufacturers

  • Clear technical production criteria
  • Fewer ambiguities in order specifications
  • Easier quality management and documentation
  • Smoother collaboration with construction sites

Supervisors and Building Inspectors – Inspect What Cannot Be Seen

The quality of a structural frame is often hidden within the structure itself, yet its importance is critical.

RunkoRYL provides concrete criteria for issues such as dimensional deviations, connections, and structural execution.

Benefits for Supervisors and Inspectors

  • Clear and impartial assessment basis
  • Support for on-site decision-making
  • Fewer interpretation disputes
  • Easier documentation

Main Contractor – Manage the Entire Project Starting with the Structural Frame

The main contractor is responsible for the execution and scheduling of the structural frame. The work includes several critical phases, such as foundations, precast installation, and concrete casting.

RunkoRYL serves as a common roadmap that guides work methods and quality assurance throughout the structural frame phase.

Benefits for Main Contractors

  • Consistent procedures across different work phases
  • Less interpretation between subcontractors
  • Better schedule control
  • Simplified quality assurance

RYL Defines the Required Standard of Good Construction Practice

RYL’s established role as the project's general technical reference document is comparable to that of the contractual document YSE.

The Building Act and YSE require that design and construction be carried out in accordance with good construction practice.
