Awards « Randy Brown Architects

The best award is a satisfied client who is proud of their project. A satisfied client is one who believes RBA listened to their needs, worked in a collaborative process, met the agreed upon budget, worked through the challenges of unforeseen conditions and met the time frame milestones.

“Awards are a guage of who is doing what remarkably well”

Professional design awards are trophies our projects have won by beating out other projects by other design firms. Awards are a gauge of who is doing what, remarkably well. Design awards are competitions among practitioners and inspires RBA to create remarkable projects.

The true measure of a project’s success is when clients become our friends and bring our studio additional work. 70% of RBA’s projects are with repeat clients.
