For Strata & Property Management Companies
Managed Buildings. Major Works. No Documentation Disasters.
Section 20 ready. Leaseholder-aware. Every job documented, certified, and invoiced in a format your accounts team can use. RCB — the contractor your managing directors stop worrying about.
The Problem With Contractors in Managed Buildings
Most contractors treat a managed building like a private job — turn up, do the work, leave. In a leasehold environment, that approach creates compliance failures, leaseholder complaints, and documentation gaps that come back to haunt managing agents months later. The right contractor understands that in a managed building, the paperwork is as important as the brickwork.
RCB operates with the documentation discipline that leasehold management demands.

How Major Works Are Delivered
Four stages. Full documentation at every point. Your board, leaseholders, and solicitor all have what they need.
Survey & Scope
We survey the building or affected areas and produce a detailed scope of works with photographs, quantities, and specification notes. This document is ready to form the basis of your Section 20 consultation or service charge demand.
Programme & Access Plan
A phased programme is agreed with you, covering access requirements per unit, resident notification windows, and key milestones. We manage access logistics — you are not chasing residents on our behalf.
Delivery & Reporting
Works are delivered to programme. Weekly progress reports issued. Variations documented and agreed in writing before any additional costs are incurred. Your board or client never gets a surprise.
Handover Pack
Completion with a full handover pack: all certificates, warranties, test results, photographs, and signed-off snagging. Every document your solicitor, leaseholder, or insurer may ever request — issued as standard.
Why Managing Agents Trust RCB
Verified track record. Proper accreditations. The evidence your compliance officer, insurer, and leaseholder tribunal may ask for.
Independently Verified

Strata & Management FAQs
Are you familiar with Section 20 major works consultation?
Yes. We have worked alongside managing agents and RMCs on Section 20 programmes. We understand that the scope, specification, and cost documentation need to be formatted correctly to support the consultation process. We produce the documentation you need.
Can you work across a managed portfolio of buildings?
Yes. We work with managing agents and strata companies across multiple buildings. We can operate under a framework arrangement with agreed pricing structures, SLAs, and reporting formats so your team has consistency across the portfolio.
How do you handle leaseholder access?
We coordinate access directly. We issue pre-works notices on your behalf, manage individual appointment bookings where required, and work around occupied schedules. You do not need to handle access logistics for our works.
What is your minimum job size?
Our minimum project threshold is around £6,000 to £7,000. For reactive maintenance below this level, we can discuss a planned maintenance arrangement where multiple smaller items are batched efficiently across your portfolio.
