Join The R&F Family
If you're a builder looking for an independent shed brand with a focus on quality, we might be a fit.
A True Independent Shed Solution
Starting out as a franchisee, we’ve come a long way. We’ve broken free from outdated shed software systems and poorly designed shed structures to create a truly independent business model. Our approach empowers local R&F Distributors to offer top-notch service, and turn-key solutions, setting us apart in a competitive market.
Since 2011, we’ve been building a community of licensed R&F builders across Queensland. These folks aren’t just tradespeople; they’re problem-solvers, craftsmen, and trusted members of their communities. Our commitment to quality and service has earned us a stellar reputation state wide.
If you’re a builder tired of following someone else’s lead, let’s chat. Join us and discover the freedom to build on your own terms.
Why The Best Builders Join R&F Steel Buildings.
