RHA

What RHA does

RHA, LLC is a small, privately held professional services firm based in Phoenix, Arizona (with a Glendale office) founded in 1992 that provides Value Engineering, Risk Analysis, Partnering facilitation, and Value Methodology training to clients in the architecture, engineering, and construction industries. The firm is led by Founder Renee Hoekstra, CVS, alongside Managing Partner Patrice Miller, CVS, supported by a core team of roughly six specialists — most holding Certified Value Specialist (CVS) credentials issued by SAVE International — delivering customized facilitation and analysis engagements rather than standardized products. Services are positioned around the Value Methodology Job Plan and proprietary methodologies such as Total Project Team Integration (TPTI) and structured risk registers, with an online monthly partnering evaluation tool supporting recurring engagements.

The firm operates a dual revenue model: (1) project-based consulting and facilitation work for public sector owners (notably USACE, City of Phoenix, Luke AFB, Department of the Navy) and contractors/design professionals (including Kiewit on multiple Southwest construction projects); and (2) standardized SAVE International–licensed training programs (VMF1, VMF1B, VMF2) priced at $1,600 per participant, delivered both virtually and in-person. RHA is certified as a Women-Owned, Small Business, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (WBE/SBE/DBE), which materially supports access to public-sector set-aside and diversity procurement channels. Distribution is overwhelmingly direct and relationship-based, relying on professional referrals and affiliations with SAVE International, APWA, and SAME rather than traditional sales channels.
