About
Ron Blank & Associates
Connecting building-product manufacturers with design professionals since 1985.
Our Story
40 Years in the AEC Industry
Ron Blank & Associates was founded in 1985 in San Antonio, Texas, with a single focus: helping building-product manufacturers get their products in front of the architects, specifiers, and engineers who write the specifications that go into construction documents.
Over four decades, RBA has built a reputation as a trusted intermediary between manufacturers and the design professional community. When continuing education moved online, RBA was one of the first organizations to earn AIA provider status for online CE delivery — and we have been producing accredited courses for manufacturers ever since.
Ron Blank, the firm's founder, remains directly involved in the programs. Manufacturers who work with RBA are working with an organization where the owner has personal knowledge of the AEC market and the design professional relationships that make these programs work.
