Registered Master Builder
Builders who meet the qualifications and experience criteria, have a sound business record and build high quality homes and buildings.
The Benefits
Use of the Registered Master Builders Logo
Our logo is a quality mark that sets our members apart from other builders. Whether on company signage, vehicles, stationery or advertising - all full RMB members are entitled to carry our logo.
National Advertising and Promotion
RMBF invests in marketing and advertising campaigns promoting the benefits of building with a Registered Master Builder and the Master Build Guarantee on residential building work. In addition to this paid advertising, we manage a proactive public relations campaign reinforcing the leadership role of Registered Master Builders and ensuring that our views are well heard and understood. The combined value of this activity equates to millions of dollars each year.
Regional Advertising and Promotion
Local RMB Associations undertake a range of advertising for members in their regions.
Master Build Guarantees
Registered Master Builders, doing residential work, provide their clients the backing of the independent “peace of mind” Master Build Guarantee.

With our valuable range of discounted products available (e.g. phone, petrol and vehicles) the savings gained and therefore increased profitability, amount to millions of dollars each year for our membership.
