We build stick-built and modular homes and additions, do kitchen and bathroom remodeling, build pole barns, and handle commercial construction of office buildings, restaurants, medical and dental offices and retail, plus complete site work: excavation, grading, underground utilities, parking lots, concrete and demolition.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Genesee County, Oakland County and all of Southeast Michigan, including Livingston and Lapeer counties and Macomb, Wayne and Washtenaw counties. See all service areas.
Is RBF Construction licensed and insured?
Yes. RBF Construction is licensed and insured for residential and commercial work. Ask for license and insurance certificates with your bid.
Does RBF Construction do its own site work?
Yes. RBF’s site development division uses its own crews and equipment for excavation, grading, underground utilities, parking lots and concrete curbs, sidewalks and slabs. Building trades are provided by a trusted network of skilled subcontractors that RBF coordinates and supervises on site, so the owner works with one contractor from groundbreaking to completion.
Where is RBF Construction located?
Our office is at 1411 W Hill Rd, Flint, MI 48507, just off I-75 between Genesee and Oakland counties. We’re open Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Call 810-938-8498 or email info@rbfconstruction.com.
Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodels?
Yes. We remodel kitchens and bathrooms throughout Genesee County, Oakland County and Southeast Michigan, from cabinet and countertop updates to full remodels with layout changes, walk-in showers and accessible, aging-in-place bathrooms. We handle the trades, permits and inspections.
What types of commercial buildings do you build?
Office buildings and tenant build-outs, restaurants including drive-thrus, medical, dental and physical therapy offices, retail stores, multi-tenant buildings, and public and nonprofit buildings — for national brands and local businesses alike.
Can RBF take a project from raw land to a finished building?
Yes. Our in-house site development division handles demolition, excavation, grading, utilities, paving and concrete, and we build the building too — one contractor from groundbreaking to completion.
What’s the difference between design-build and design-bid-build?
In design-build, one team handles design and construction under a single contract, which simplifies communication and can shorten schedules. In design-bid-build, an architect completes the design first and contractors bid on it. RBF does both. Read our design-build vs. design-bid-build guide.
How do I get a bid or estimate?
Call 810-938-8498 or send project details through our bid request form. Plans, photos, the site address and your target timeline help us respond faster.
I’m a subcontractor. How do I get on your bid list?
