How Our Model Works
How The R & F Distributor Model Works
Behind each R&F trademark licensee is a comprehensive business solution that enables builders to focus on customers, service, and building. The logistics, pricing, marketing, engineering and all the head aches are done for you. It’s easy, reliable, and just works.
Custom Designs
Every project is different, which is why flexible custom design options are essential. Our system supports a wide range of building layouts, spans, and structural configurations, allowing you to create tailored steel buildings that suit your customer’s needs and site requirements.
Site-Specific Engineering
All buildings must meet engineering standards and local building requirements. Our engineering team prepares site-specific designs and documentation to ensure every project is structurally compliant, properly certified, and suitable for the conditions of the site where it will be built.
Building Design & Construction Support
Even experienced builders benefit from strong technical support. Our team assists with design development, structural considerations, and construction guidance when required. This ensures your projects run smoothly and helps you deliver reliable, well-built steel buildings to your customers
Shed Quote & Job Management Software
Our quoting and job management software helps streamline the entire project process. From generating accurate quotes to tracking materials, drawings, and project details, the system helps you manage jobs efficiently and maintain clear organisation across multiple projects.
3D Building Design Environment
The 3D building design environment allows you to visualise structures before construction begins. Layouts, structural details, and materials are defined within the model, removing guesswork when ordering and ensuring customers clearly understand the final building before construction starts.
Accurate Costings
Accurate pricing is essential when running a successful shed business. Our systems help you prepare reliable quotes based on real project requirements, materials, and labour. This allows you to price jobs with confidence and maintain consistent margins on every project.
National Construction Code Compliance
All projects must comply with the National Construction Code and relevant regulations. Our documentation and engineering processes help ensure your buildings meet the required standards, giving both you and your customers confidence that the project is fully compliant.
Marketing and Sales Materials
We provide professionally prepared marketing and sales materials to help you promote your local business. These resources support your sales process, improve presentation to potential customers, and help you build credibility when quoting and discussing projects.

“From design approval to final handover — here’s what the experience was like.”
“They make my life easy”
What I like is their end to end process. They project manage the builds so they make my life easy. I have confidence that the right thing is going to be done. Summing it up in one word – integrity. That’s few and far between particularly in the shed industry. They just do it right. A one-stop-shop for sheds, really –
that’s what it is.

“The guys said and did exactly what they were going to do.”
I spent a fair bit of time looking at different sheds and shed builders and it was just pure fluke that I was speaking to my local guy who mentioned R&F and had built a shed for him and yeah, I was, I was blessed. As soon as I spoke to the guys my search was over. It was, it made it a whole lot easier to speak to somebody that listened to me and that actually appreciated what I was trying to achieve and not just trying to sell me something out of the box
