Registered Builder

This category is for builders who meet our qualifications and experience criteria, are on their way to building a sound business record and primarily build for other building companies.

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.

Members Discount Programmes

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.
