What Our Customers Say About the Process

Beth and WillDesign and Build

We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with R&B on our first build. We had a complicated hill section with tricky access and a shared driveway so we wanted to have confidence in the company we chose, R&B certainly stepped up to the plate and we never once doubted their processes. We had multiple family and friends comment on the high standard of construction, including the council inspector on the final sign off.

Frank & GayleneDesign and Build

R&B did what they said they were doing; they did it immediately and knew what they were doing. It was smooth and hassle-free.

HarveyDesign and Build

The designers are amazing, so passionate and considerate of how things go together and the knowledge of Matt the business Manager was beyond incredible to deal with, it is a complete one stop shop for everything from design to pricing to build to sales strategy. 10/10. A proper example of a Canterbury business that delivers what it promises.

AshDesign and Build

Amazing homes and quality builds. Their plans are epic. With a real focus on design and point of difference in a common market. Pamela in Christchurch was friendly face who gave us time we haven’t typically received as we battle through a tough market.

Sue & NormanDesign and Build

This is why I like R&B because the people who were the front-facing were also the people that basically were going to be doing the building as well. They were always good about keeping in contact.

Robert & ZeshaDesign and Build

We had a tight budget and R&B itemised everything and gave us options to upgrade the areas that were most important to us.

SarahNew Build

Have recently purchased a home built by the team at R&B Build. Very happy with my dealings with Matt throughout the process. He was always very responsive to any questions/requests I had. Very happy to support this local business.

CharlotteNew Build

Matt and the team at R&B build made the whole process so easy. I am a first time home buyer and didn’t really know what to do. Matt was always available if I had any questions and took time out of his weekends to show my parents the property. Nothing but an easy and exciting experience. Would highly recommend R&B Build

FAQ

Do you offer flexible settlement terms?

Yes – we work around you and your requirements, and can offer settlement options to suit your situation.

Does your offer change during the due diligence process?

No. Unlike many other companies, R&B Build completes its own research and due diligence before presenting an offer. That helps avoid unexpected surprises that could lead to a change in price. We’re a family business built on trust and transparency, and we stand by the offer we make.

Do you offer market value for properties?

Yes – we offer a fair market value for properties and work with you to reach an agreed price that suits both parties.

Would you relocate the house?

Yes – wherever possible. Relocating a house gives it a second chance at life and is a more sustainable option. It also allows the home and its history to remain part of the community.

What types of property do you purchase?

We consider all types of properties across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region — all sizes, all values, and all conditions.

Do you ever cancel or change contracts?

Very rarely. Because we complete thorough research upfront and ensure we are fully informed before making an offer, it is uncommon for us to change or cancel a contract.

How long does the sale process normally take?

  • Initial property review and upfront research: 2–3 days
  • Due diligence: 2 weeks
  • Settlement: Fully flexible – anywhere from a few weeks to 12 months or longer, depending on your needs.

What costs or fees will I need to pay?

You may incur your own legal fees however you will not be required to pay any fees to us.
