Architectural Building Arts

We had fantastic time last night at NARI Madison's trivia night! Our team "Ken & the Hard Hat Hustlers" won first place!! (Not to brag, but it's our second year in a row winning first place) Congrats to Ken, Tessa, Autumn, Janet, Janine and Victoria for the win! 🥳

A huge thank you to Kim, Trish and everyone at NARI for putting together such a fun event. (Our Operations Manager Victoria would also like to give props to whoever made the shredded pork... it was delicious!)

Another big thanks goes out to Walk Your Plans Madison WI for hosting the event. We loved seeing the cool tech you guys have brought to the remodeling community here in Madison and look forward to learning more about what you guys can do.

We're already preparing for a three-peat next year... so watch out for us! 😁

Strong communities start with strong neighborhoods. And strong neighborhoods begin with access to housing.

This year, ABA selected five worthy organizations to support for The Big Share, Wisconsin’s statewide day of giving on March 3rd! It's not too late to join us though - donations can be made through March 10th. https://www.thebigshare.org/

We’re supporting organizations connected by one shared purpose: expanding access to housing and strengthening the neighborhoods around us.

🏠 Bayview Foundation pairs affordable housing with on-site programs that support families and build community. https://bayviewfoundation.org/

🏠 Housing Initiatives provides permanent supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. https://housinginit.org/

🏠 Madison Area Community Land Trust keeps homeownership affordable and sustainable for local families. https://maclt.org/

🏠 Fair Housing Council works to prevent housing discrimination and protect equal access to housing. https://www.fairhousingwisconsin.com/

🏠 Movin’ Out expands housing options for people with disabilities by developing and managing affordable, accessible homes that support independence and long-term stability. https://www.movin-out.org/

Each of these nonprofits strengthens our communities in a different way, but they all begin with the same foundation: housing.

There’s still time to give. We invite you to support these organizations or explore the many others participating in The Big Share today.

We’re honored to share that we’ve won two 2026 Regional NARI Awards of the Year 🏆
