History
In 1971, Wayne Brown joined his father James and brother Doug, who were running a successful home building company, and formed a commercial construction company he named Brown Builders, Inc. Delivering a quality project to our clients in the shortest amount of time at the lowest cost has always been Brown Builders’ top priority.
Wayne Brown's introduction of the design-build concept to this region over 50 years ago was groundbreaking. Brown Builders was the first in this area to streamline the process between design and construction, which has now become a mainstream method of contracting.
In 2013, Kristen Brown took over leadership as President of the company and has since guided an experienced and talented group of individuals to deliver exceptional construction services, setting new standards of excellence in the industry.
Today, Brown Builders is the largest certified woman-owned general contractor in Louisiana.
