Traditional "Site-Built" Home Package

If modular construction does not lend itself to your project?
We can site-build!

No Problem... we are very flexible! Although modular construction is the first construction method we consider, there are some circumstances where modular construction would not necessarily be optimal or feasible. These could include sites with limited access for the modules or crane or floor plans that are not modular-friendly and cannot be economically converted to a modular design. RBA works with you and your architect to design and construct a fully customized site built home, from start to finish. RBA will evaluate the most appropriate and cost-effective method to construct your new home.
