Cannot recommend rbc. Very poor communication, – very quick to blame others, blamed site works by owner even though they had their own engineers test and certify the site works. I wven had to pay twice for a soil test .Tv antenna socket didnt work. Had the antenna guy that installed the antenna recheck his work and found a bad connection on a wall plug. Charged me for the diagnostic work, rbc… Read more
laughed at me and said he may of done the damage. Blocked drain,6 showers in and blame the trades that had been after they did hand over. Supervisors poorly trained to deal with customers. Signed house up. 6 months later hit me with a 4.9% increase in price. November 15th 2021 slab gets poured finished house may 2023. Had to pay a building inspector to check over there work because I had no confidence that it was done to code. Over all very dissatisfied with the whole process and rbc team. I am building another house on a year and mark my words I'm staying away from them.
They put their heart and soul into your build your not just a number – We could not be happier from the very beginning we would dream about building a home with this company, we signed up November 2021. We got some terrible news in march 2022 (brick work had just started) with the health of one of our children which resulted in myself (mum) and child moving to Perth while he underwent treatment for cancer at 7 years… Read more
old! I rung the builders to let them know and was told we will do our best to get the house done quick and stress free for you guys! All ready building in the hype and materials/trades been so scarce we didn’t think it would happen. But these guys stayed true to their word, if there was problems we never heard about them they took charge and did their job absolutely amazingly. We can’t thank the whole team for everything and going above and beyond for us! Steve our supervisor was fantastic we couldn’t fault his work and any of the trades he had come out. Bonnie was our go to in the office, she made everything so easy and most importantly stress free, and having was the original designer as we chose a house design then pretty much changed the hole inside to suit what we wanted and nothing was ever to hard or not able to be done. We love our new home and couldn’t be happier!
What an Amazing Team and a great outcome :-) – We have finally moved into our beautiful new home on the 13th of May and wanted to officially thank the team from RBC involved in our build. We are extremely happy with "The Karridale Retreat". Starting with our building & design consultant for his expertise and knowledge regarding home choice, personalised plans to meet our specific needs and… Read more · 1
coming to our block in person to arrange for the best positioning of our home to ensure environmental efficiency in regards to heating and cooling etc.
Our Administration Team Leader was absolutely amazing throughout the entire build of our house. From pre-start to completion she was quick to reply to any emails, efficient in sorting any concerns and always honest, professional, supportive and happy to help. She was such a pleasure to work with :-).
Our supervisor was able to keep things moving on our build, even in these difficult times of supply issues. It took 12 months in total from our pad down to handover which we never expected due to the current building climate. We are aware that there are numerous other people behind the scenes that we may not have met that also contributed to our building process and we would like to thank them all.
We were very impressed with the entire process and after being warned by so many friends that "building can be hard", we have to say that we found it an absolute pleasure watching the process and seeing the final outcome. Rural Building Company has a great reputation and many of the delivery drivers, contractors and previous customers of RBC we came into contact with all praised their quality of work and professionalism.
At a time when there may be a few disgruntled owners, contractors and suppliers, we just wanted to send a message of positivity and thanks, confirming that we would recommend RBC to anyone, and that our building experience was a great one.
Great building company, smooth process, quality build – From the beginning we were drawn to Rural Building's selection of farmhouse designs and selected one to build. From the start the process was a smooth un-stressful process. The team communicated every step of the build to us and made sure we understood. There were no hidden unexpected cost increases to our build. From the office staff to the… Read more
building supervisors (Norma, Bonnie, Levi, Steve and Chris) we experienced an open and transparent company who strived to provide a quality service and build.
Our final build was fantastic and any issues along the way were rectified without delay.
We were always told that building a house would be a very stressful however Rural made it a very smooth process and promptly answered any questions we had along the way so we were fully informed.
A great builder and a quality product. Highly recommend.
THE DREAM TEAM – Big thanks to Gavin, Bonnie and Steve AKA the Dream Team. The one stop shop to build the house of your dreams. Abosutely over the moon with the quality job from start to finish. They tick all the boxes and all those other cliche's are relevant with this amazing building company. No other builder come close. Show details
Accessible dream home! – The Rural Building company were amazing we literally have no complaints from our city build. From the moment I called them they were completely different to other builders. Rural try to be the building company that understands, but disability they didn't have any experience with so they learnt with us! And wow they outdid themselves. Rural… Read more
listened to our wants and needs and designed a home specifically and exactly like we had dreamed (but never believed possible). From meeting our our no pressure friendly salesman, to the talented architect who put our dreams on paper. Most builders you beg and grovel for months to speak to someone and still get a junior who doesn't care what you want. Rural gave us the top architect who designs the telethon homes and let us balance our dreams with our budget to find a way we could get everything we wanted! (even a secret garden and gable ceiling). Then we went onto Prestart and she was awesome, like your building mother making sure you have all the little things sorted, and giving us plenty of time to change our minds. (most builders give you 2 hours max for prestart, they gave us a week+!) Then onto building and we have a great supervisor who was easy to contact and kept a close eye on the build. They were flexible letting us adjust things and BYO. The time frame for the build went really quickly, but the quality was really good.
It is now over a year since we moved in. We had our maintenance check up and the only issues we had were a few down pipe issues and some rough plastering. But Rural got onto it straight away and fixed everything up like new.
Previously we went with two very high profile builders who charge a premium for their reputation. They were horrible, pushy, refused to listen to what we needed and then tried to charge us tens of thousands for nothing but a plan that we HATED and wasn't even wheelchair friendly. Don't put up with less than the best. Rural were like family. Totally professional, but they cared and listened.
Great built house exactly what we wanted – Workmanship was top class. Small drama with sealing of showers but overall very good. Trades people worked well together with the plaster mentioning what a strong house it is. The foreman was excellent and was always contactable within business hours. Everything went to plan and we are very happy with the build. The post build detail and communication has been excellent as well. Show reply
Off to a smooth start – Even though we have only just started the building process we have been very impressed with the professional approach from The Rural Building Company's staff we have dealt with so far. The sales consultant who travelled all over Perth to meet with us was extremely helpful with the changes we made to the house and the pre-start staff were very… Read more · 1
thorough with helpful advice where needed. After meeting our supervisor on site the other day earthworks and pouring of the slab we are off to a rapid start which hopefully continues.
