About:
Rbhu is a minority and women-owned business that specializes in engineering large-scale artwork and entertainment structures.

Rbhu is inspired by two former schoolmates who dreamed about engineering things with purpose, things that provide joy for people, and things that change the world. Their dream became a reality when they joined teams and began to work with artists who have touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people through their work and inspiration. Rbhu now aims at working closely with their clients and providing affordable services to artists and those who have a vision.

“Rbhu” [ruh-BOo] is a Sanskrit word meaning “builder, artist, prudent, skillful, clever”.
