For Estate Agents

Recommend a Builder Your Buyers Will Thank You For.

Your reputation is on the line every time you make a referral. RCB gives you a builder that delivers — fixed price, live CCTV access, zero blowback.

The Problem With Builder Referrals

Estate agents make builder recommendations every day. Most of those builders are fine — until they are not. And when things go wrong, who does the buyer call? You. The broken construction industry costs estate agents client relationships they can never get back.

Cowboy builders who blame the estate agent when things go wrong
No written quote — just a number on a Post-it note
Work starts, then the real costs appear
Client calls you at 9pm furious about delays
Builder ghosts the client after deposit

RCB exists to change that. We make the agent look good — every time.

Agent FAQs

Do you pay referral fees?

We do not pay referral fees — and deliberately so. Our focus is on doing the job well so your buyer is delighted. A buyer who is delighted sends you referrals. That is worth more than a flat fee. We operate a formal, professional relationship with agents based on quality of outcome, not commission.

What happens if the buyer and builder disagree on something?

All changes are handled through formal variation orders — written, priced, and agreed before any work changes. This means there are no verbal disputes. Everything is documented. You are never dragged into a he-said-she-said situation.

Can you give a rough figure before surveying?

We can provide a high-level ballpark range based on the type of work described — useful for helping buyers understand feasibility before committing to a survey. We clearly label these as indicative only and follow up with a proper written estimate after site visit.

How quickly can you turn around an estimate?

Typically within 5–7 working days of a site visit. For urgent timelines — chain-sensitive sales, pre-completion decisions — we will tell you upfront what we can commit to rather than overpromise.
