We understand building businesses, not just business

RBS exists for one reason: to help residential builders build better businesses and better lives.

Since 2005 we've worked alongside building businesses throughout New Zealand, supporting the areas that often create the biggest headaches behind the scenes.

Unlike many professional service providers, we don't serve multiple industries. We focus on residential construction because builders face unique challenges and deserve specialist support that reflects that reality.

We understand the connections between pricing and margin, workload and cashflow, people and performance, and growth and risk. Our services and support is practical, commercially focused, and grounded in the realities builders deal with every day.

Whether you need help in one part of your business or coordinated support across several, RBS gives you access to the expertise you need without requiring you to build every capability in-house.

You remain in control.
Start with the service that will make the greatest difference today, then add support when and where your business needs it.

Why builders choose RBS

We were built for and understand the construction industry.

A generalist may understand Accounting, Health and Safety or Human Resources.

An RBS specialist understands that discipline in the context of residential construction.

That difference matters because decisions in a building business are rarely isolated. An estimating error can affect margin and cashflow. Rapid growth can place pressure on systems, people and compliance. Poor project information can make problems visible only after the opportunity to correct them has passed.

RBS helps connect those moving parts.

 

Less time explaining how your industry works. More time improving how your business works.
Advice that starts with your industry

We understand residential construction workflows, project-based financial performance, subcontractor relationships, site-based risks and the pressures of running multiple jobs.

Specialists who work as one team

Instead of coordinating multiple disconnected advisers, you can access specialists who share context and work towards the same business outcomes.

Support services designed to be used

We turn professional expertise into practical systems, information and actions that builders and their teams can understand and use.

Client testimonials

"RBS have removed a huge burden on our business and raised the bar with a far more professional approach to running the design side of our business. They have literally helped give us some of our life back, enabling our team to focus on selling more houses and our ultimate goal of super happy clients."
Michelle Costello

"RBS understood this complexity for juggling multiple clients and conflicting demands and from the very start of the process, the use of their web site portal for specific plan design, the infrastructure to ensure our team does not miss any critical steps they have created a great Draughting, documentation and communication process. I would rate the consistency and detail of the RBS Draughting plans as the best I have seen in the industry giving our brand a level of consistency, respect, speed and ease of processing by council and confidence in detail with our builders."
Dean McGonagle
Plantinum Homes Northland
"The RBS Accounting service has allowed me to structure my business in such a way to give me my life back. I now have more time to spend with my family, rather than spending my time worrying about invoices and payroll. A major benefit for me is not having to worry about payroll legislation or remembering to meet my IRD requirements - this is all done for me by RBS. I now also have the time to focus on the important aspects of my business, including looking after my customers, managing my staff and sourcing new clients."
