Over 10 years of engineering success; 10 years of innovative service and quality; and 10 years of gratitude to clients! Since 1997, RWA, Inc. has evolved from a small, local firm offering civil engineering services, to a thriving business with regional scope, offering comprehensive interdisciplinary solutions of civil engineering, land planning, surveying and mapping, and GIS services for private and public sector clients. The firm’s diversity allows for service to clients during each phase of a project, from initial planning through final design, permitting, and construction.
”Our recipe for success is no hidden secret and not difficult to achieve if you are willing to be committed to doing your very best every day. We strive to maintain a high level of core values, focus on our relationships and the needs of our clients, and genuinely care about the people within our organization,” states Christopher Wright, P.E., President. “Besides, when you really enjoy what you do and can have fun doing it, it shows, is very contagious, and is reflected in our service and work products. That is what RWA is all about,” adds Wright.
RWA was founded in February 1997 by Emilio J. Robau, P.E., Christopher O. Wright, P.E. and James M. Anderson. Over the past ten years, RWA has worked diligently to become one of the most respected professional consulting firms in Southwest Florida. Initially, the three RWA partners worked out of a small, one-room office. With little more than their professional reputation for quality work and their commitment to excellence and client satisfaction, the firm immediately began taking on several Southwest Florida project assignments. As their workload steadily climbed, they brought on additional staff; and within a short period of time, RWA had outgrown its space.
Over the past decade, RWA has continued to grow dramatically, keeping pace with growth in the Southwest Florida area. In 2003, to accommodate a larger staff and expand its presence in the region, RWA opened an additional office in downtown Fort Myers. In May of 2005, the Naples headquarters was relocated to the present Willow Park Drive location. RWA’s ever-expanding client base now includes not only significant private residential and commercial projects, but also public agencies and many public works projects in the region. The small engineering company that opened for business in 1997 is poised to break the 100 person barrier, and has become one of the most highly regarded firms in Southwest Florida!
The firm’s foundation is based on solid technical capabilities, a strong work ethic, and exemplary client service — values the RWA leaders live and work by! The team’s shared passion to enhance the living and working environment of Southwest Florida is based upon the notion that social, built, and natural environments form an indivisible whole that must be addressed with both knowledge and respect. Through this understanding, they see beyond the ordinary to create the exceptional! RWA’s expertise and professional approach has contributed to its long-term client relationships, resulting in much-valued repeat business.
Presently led by Christopher Wright, P.E.; James Anderson; Roger Carter, P.S.M.; Robert Mulhere, AICP; and John Williams, RWA is devoted to the evolution of the firm. RWA’s leadership team, while celebrating tradition, is focused on the future, and will continue to provide excellence in service, innovation, and quality...designing the future one decade at a time!
