Testimonials

We have worked with RLS Building 3 times in the past 5 years. Bob and Joe are easy to work with and truly want to make sure you are happy with your construction project. They do quality, beautiful work. RLS uses great subcontractors to make sure all aspects of the build are perfect. They are willing to help you achieve any vision you may have, even if it is something they haven’t done before – they know the people who can help you. (For example, we wanted a curved beam for our front porch entry as well as having our mantle made from a very large, thick piece of re-claimed lumber. Bob and Joe were able to find information and skilled people to help us get the results we wanted.) RLS Builders not only built our dream house, they also helped me remodel my business 5 years ago, and completed an expansion project this past year. They were with us each step of the way to make sure everything went smoothly. RLS stands behind their work and makes sure everything is right. Any time you do a new build, you are bound to run into a hiccup or two. Any issues we had (for example, a vapor seal was leaking on one of the windows that was installed) RLS made sure that we were taken care of and the problems were fixed. We would highly recommend RLS to anyone looking to build their dream home!

We interviewer several builders when we decided to build our new home, trying to find the right fit Price was not our primary concern, feeling comfortable with someone and trusting them was. Bob Sandberg said something to us after our first meeting that struck a chord. " We are just acquaintances now. If I am luck enough to build your home, we will be friend when it's done." We felt a level of comfort with Bob and Joe that we just did not feel with others and signed a contract to have RLS build the dream home we had designed. From start to finish the process was smooth and enjoyable. Bob and Joe helped us with decisions, took care of every detail and solved any issue without worrying us. Their subcontractors and suppliers were all a pleasure to deal with Bob and Joe helped us with changes we made along the way, suggesting where to spend extra and where we could save. When our home was complete, we were within 1% of the original contract estimate. If we build a home again, there will be no interview session this time. Bob's words at our first meeting have rung true. WE ARE friends now and are grateful that WE were lucky enough to have Bob build our home.

RLS built my custom home starting in July of 2019 and finished by Thanksgiving of 2019.  They did an amazing job and exceeded all my expectations. I told Bob that I wanted to be involved in the building process and he was more than happy to accommodate. Bob and Joe were very patient with me and explained everything throughout the process. No matter how extreme my ideas were, Bob and Joe were willing to listen and offer suggestions and advice. I appreciated their on-the-job presence throughout the build.  It was like have a personal advocate supervising and making sure everything was being done to the highest standards. At the completion of the project, my wife and I had very little request for corrections.  The home was ready for us to move into without contractors making multiple return trips to fix miscellaneous items. Bob’s budgets discussed before breaking ground were extremely accurate and made building on a tight budget achievable. What I did not expect was the friendship that was made during this process. When I see Bob or Joe out in Danville, they make a point to stop and talk to me. We have communicated several times on a personal level because they truly do care about the wellbeing of their customers and community. I have recommended RLS to friends and family and would highly recommend them to anyone in the area build their next house.

We moved into our new RLS home in September 2019 and we love it! The workmanship and quality exceeded our expectations and Bob and Joe were right there with us through the entire process.  When we did have a question or concern, they answered or addressed it almost immediately.  They have long relationships with most of their sub-contractors, and for a reason. You can tell that they respect RLS and are there because Bob and Joe know the quality and efficiency of their work.  If you are looking for a home that is of the best quality, completed by professionals, and is truly, uniquely yours, RLS are the guys to do it.

In early 2020 we started the process of building our home with RLS. We met with Bob Sandberg and started the process. We had an idea of the floorpan we wanted and Bob and his team made the plan come to life. July 2020 construction started on land we owned in Hendricks county. All the staff, subcontractors and suppliers of materials that RLS works with were very professional. The building despite COVID kept going with safety protocols inlace. A few supply chain delays effected the project but the team moved on to other areas of the build and kept things on schedule. Changes in the floor plan while we were underway. After the foundation was poured my wife and I realized that two things needed to be changed. The bedroom needed to be four feet larger and the screened porch needed to be six feet larger. I mentioned it to Bob at 10 in the morning and asked if it was possible. By 4pm that day we were told the changes could be made. Bob had checked with the draftsman and the suppliers to make sure we could get everything to complete the changes in a timely manner. We wanted a lot of special things incorporated in our forever home. I had just retired and my wife would in a few years. Energy efficient, comfortable and a place we could age in place were important to us. All goals were met by RLS in our forever home. Our home is a joy to live in and the team from RLS made it possible!

Dear Bob, As I visually survey our lovely and efficient new home, we are so grateful to you for your guidance, collaboration, expertise and professionalism. The experience of building our new home was truly enjoyable, and Larry and I credit your personal qualities for this nearly as much as your long-term building experience and skills. Now that we have lived in our home for two months, I’d like to share some of our specific impressions with you, as well as anyone that is considering building with you. Exactly one year ago I called for information about a lot in Peacock Ridge, and then I needed a builder to whom I could make some basic inquiries about building costs. I was given your name and called you and two other builders. You were the one individual that answered my questions, came to do a visual inspection of three lots, and generally invested a great amount of time before we even sold our other home. Once we did that, you again gave us your time to help Larry and I make decisions that gave us the confidence that custom building was the right choice for us….and you were the right choice as that builder. The contractors that did the work on our home were talented and reliable. I found the trim carpenter, Rick, especially creative. You scheduled these contractors so effectively and planned every step exceedingly well, making it possible for our home to be completed in four months! I realize our 1975 square foot home is smaller than most you build, but still, that time frame was only possible because you managed all personnel and materials with great efficiency. The work done by every group met our high expectations. When Larry communicated a small “punch list” of items to address after the completion of our home, all of these contractors returned as you asked, to attend to the items as you instructed them. To me this demonstrates a true respect for you as a builder and professional. The entire building process was clear, organized, and interactive. We appreciated your “hands-on” approach of being present on our construction site almost daily, and your constant communication with us. Attention to detail was evident from beginning to end. In every aspect of this process, I give RLS Builders an A! Thank you Bob, for your approach to building a house that has resulted in a home we will be happy to own for years to come. Sincerely,

We chose RLS builders for our new home this year and we couldn't be happier! Bob and Joe Sandberg are a father/son team that want you to truly be happy with your new home. They are wonderful to work with and they have an amazing team of craftsmen working for them. The people I have met during the building process from choosing brick, faucets, kitchen cabinets, appliances,etc were wonderful as well. Everything is perfect down to the very last detail. The RLS custom home team builds a home as if they would live there. The build of our home started in May 2023 with the dig of the basement. I had ideas for the exterior and RLS listened, helped with suggestions and allowed me to help design the home of our dreams. We have been in our home for a month now and I am confident that I made the right choice. It is beautiful inside and out, warm, quiet and just what we always dreamed of. We chose Geothermal for our heat and we are comfortable in every room including the basement. The Anderson windows are beautiful and air-tight. I couldn't say enough about our great experience with RLS custom builders. Except thank you for making our house a home!

We recently completed our forever home with RLS Building. To say our new build was smooth sailing is an understatement. The crew at RLS was there for every aspect from start to finish. If we had questions, they had answers. If we had concerns, they were there to listen and address them. They treated us with respect and thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. Bob, Brandy, and Joe truly care about their customers!

My wife and I both recently retired and decided to downsize from our country home and build a new custom home with RLS.  Relatives had just built a new custom home with RLS and were very pleased with the outcome.  Watching their new home being built was proof of the quality of work and materials used in the construction process which convinced us to use RLS as our builder. Both Bob and Joe were a pleasure to work with during the various phases of the construction of our new home.  We had an idea of what we wanted the house to include and they and their team helped develop our dream into the beautiful home we now have. RLS’s services included obtaining permits and approvals, the entire construction process start to finish, including the final inspections.  We are extremely happy with our new custom home.  Follow up from Bob and Joe has been tremendous through the entire process.  There is no doubt we would use RLS again to build another home in the future.

"My wife and I built a home with RLS 11 years ago and the quality, workmanship, design and the efficiency of the home was outstanding. Over the years, RLS has helped us take care of any problems we have. We have become great friends with RLS. Sometimes people shouldn’t do business with friends, but in 2014 we built a second home with RLS. Things have changed in 11 years — all for the good — geothermal, all electric, insulation, quality materials and workmanship. We would highly recommend our friends at RLS to build you a quality custom home."

"As springtime blossoms and we begin to get all the outside furniture placed for the upcoming lake season, we again realize how very much we love our beautiful home with its setting and lifestyle. Of course, you know us well enough to know that looking out over the lake is the only place Ed wants to be! We continue, whenever possible, to sing your praises as one of the best decisions we ever made. Meeting your team in the fall of 1999 and proceeding to have your company build our home was such a positive experience. Both of us felt comfortable with all of you right from the beginning during the home show, and that was very important to us as we had some very negative building experiences in the past. Also, the element of trust was very strong on our part as we dealt with you again, right from the beginning through the closing, until today. Well, it’s six years since we moved in, and this home continues to be a source of price and contentment for us. You have addressed any concerns we have had promptly and efficiently — we couldn’t have asked for any better service."

"We are so pleased with our home and the quality work RLS provides. Bob and the team always go out of their way to be of service to their clients. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been in the home three months or three years; they are always happy to help. Prior to our move in, the inspector told us that our home was quite possibly the best built home he has seen in his 20 years of service. That was good enough for us! If we ever built another home, we would choose RLS Building Corp. again without a doubt!"

"We are so happy with our home. Bob Sandberg and the whole RLS staff are amazing and so easy to work with. They bend over backward to make things perfect and easy for you. The customer service is impeccable, and you feel at ease that things will get done right. As an NFL player, my husband had many referrals to different builders in the Indianapolis area, but we just fell in love with RLS and this home. We would recommend RLS and Bob Sandberg to anyone!"

"RLS Building Corporation built our new home, and it was a great experience! We not only received a beautiful home, but also ended up with Bob and Brandy as good friends! Building a home can be stressful at times, but Bob, Todd, and the crew did everything in their power to keep that from happening. The couple of minor things we had problems with, Bob corrected immediately. We have had so many comments from our friends about the quality and beauty of our home. We would highly recommend RLS Builders to anyone wanting to build a new home!"

"When we finally decided to build a home, we started to wonder who we should choose as our builder in order to avoid the many potential nightmares associated with building a new home. RLS Building Corp. had built several homes of people we know and after talking to them personally and reading testimonials from others, the decision became obvious. Once we chose RLS, we became excited and moved forward with the process, trusting that Bob would deliver a home that we would be proud of and enjoy for the rest of our lives. We weren’t disappointed. There were a couple of bumps in the road but having Bob on the job every day made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. We couldn’t be happier with the quality that RLS put into the construction of our home! We would not hesitate for a second to recommend RLS to anyone who has a need for a new home or construction project."

"We are always giving your company high marks whenever we are asked who built our home. It was a painful process for Karla and me, as well as Todd and yourself. Some of the self-induced complexities really turned into challenges for you and Todd. We definitely see it as part of the building process and a learning process for us all. You and Todd have been doing this long enough to still stick with it. We are grateful to have you and Todd build our home. We consider ourselves blessed that you two answer your phones and listen and respond to our concerns as well. There are some people we know that have had their builders turn their backs and never look back. We feel fortunate not to be in that boat. We definitely have peace of mind knowing that you two are local. We hope to finish out the above garage bonus room in the future and would like your input and efforts. Thanks again for keeping us in mind and thanks for the Christmas cards."

"We recently built a house with RLS Building Corp. It was a great experience because of Bob, Todd, and Brandy. The subcontractors were also great to work with. This was our first custom home, and we had many questions. We appreciated that before anything was ever started, we picked out all our flooring, cabinets, appliances, and plumbing accessories. This helped us to better gauge the amount of our loan for the house; there were no hidden surprises at the end. At the beginning, we were very concerned at where our payment was going to be at once we moved in. The mortgage company and RLS were very good at making us feel comfortable with the decisions that we made and let us know how much room we had to make any additional changes. During the process, we worked very closely with them and made a few changes along the way, and they were very prompt at changing them. They made building fun and easy. Once the house was complete, we still stayed in contact with them. We had a few minor things that needed to be completed and they completed them without hassle. I remember one day in particular; we were having the furnace company out, but one of our children was playing in the Super Bowl. Todd came over and stayed with the technician so we could go to the game. They all became our friends — and friends that we trusted. RLS built our family a wonderful home, and if we build again, we will definitely build with them."

"RLS Building Corp. just recently finished building my family’s first custom home this past November of 2008. When the keys were handed over and all was said and done, the product delivered was as promised and a touch more. Bob Sandberg and Todd W. of RLS Building Corp. were involved in every step of our homebuilding process, including the design, quote, planning, construction, and finishing, of our custom-built home. Although building a house requires attention and time, I don’t feel in any way, shape, or form that RLS Building Corp. could have made it any easier. My confidence in them only grew as construction continued. They stood by their word, their promises, and their intentions. If they promised a detail, that detail would be there. If they couldn’t promise a detail, they wouldn’t, and then they would tell you they wouldn’t. Straightforward, honest, up-front home builders; that is whom I sought when I hired RLS Building Corp., and that is what they delivered. My biggest concern during the build of our home was the "correctness" of the d. In other words, quality and detail. That was most important to me. Our home is a one-story brick ranch with a full basement, four-car garage, and a bonus room. Above all things, I wanted no corners cut and exactness in assembly. I feel RLS Building Corp. Did deliver on those demands. The quality and correctness RLS Building Corp. put into our home is no different than that put into one of their most expensive homes. When quality didn’t occur where it should, RLS Building Corp. was the first person to rip it off, tear it down, or redo it. They wouldn’t stand for anything less than perfect quality as well, which made my worries their worries throughout the entire building process. My profession and personality tend to emphasize extremely high quality and unquestionable attention to details. RLS Building Corp. met my standards, and that says a lot. If I had to invest in another custom-built home, RLS Building Corp. would definitively be my choice. When one invests such a significant amount of finances, time, and energy on any one single project, one only hopes that the point man put in charge will only hold a crumb of that same care and worry on such a huge investment. RLS Building Corp. understood that investment for me and didn’t simplify my investment, waste my time, or wastefully consume my energy. They appreciated my financial dedication, the detail I desired, and the effort I was willing to make. And they matched them. That’s all I asked for, but that’s a lot to ask. Thank you to RLS Building Corp. for building our fantastic custom brick home!"

"I just wanted to say thanks for making it so easy to refer my clients interested in building custom homes. It’s always a pleasure for both them and I to do business with you. When I send a client to you, I have the utmost confidence that the home you build for them will be of top-notch quality and meticulously built. Your team’s follow-up and attention to detail are unsurpassed. I also appreciated being allowed to participate, at my comfort level, in the planning stages of the projects. I look forward to continuing our business relationship. As always, you are the first custom builder I think of!"

"When I see an RLS Building sign, I immediately think QUALITY! I’ve met many custom builders during my 25-year real estate career, and most are no longer building homes. You’re truly one of the best to flourish during the challenging market conditions we’ve experienced over the last couple of years. Bob, you’ve surrounded yourself with a team that cares about the little stuff and that is truly what’s important in a custom-built job. It’s easy to refer clients to RLS Building where I know they’re guaranteed to receive a no-hassle hassle building experience. I can’t understand why every consumer who wants to build their "Dream Home" wouldn’t build an RLS home. I value the business relationship that Carpenter Realtors and RLS Building have built over the last 10 years! Your commitment to excellence makes everyone who does business with you a WINNER!"

"If you are thinking of building a house, please read this letter in completion before making your decision. We decided to make our dream come true and build a custom home with RLS Builders. I had spent years being terrified by horror stories I had heard from people who had built and hence, had significant apprehension. We now live in a house that made all our dreams come true. Bob Sandberg is one of the finest men I have ever met. He has the highest integrity and ethics. When you call his office, he answers. He knows everything that is going on at any time during the project. He builds an incredibly energy-efficient home, and after three years, our utility bills continue to decrease. All of RLS’s subcontractors have worked with them for an average of twenty years or more. We had minimal change orders, as RLS guided us carefully at the beginning in order to avoid these. Invoicing was flawless and our bankers commented on the ease of financing with RLS. We would recommend RLS without qualification for all types of construction — from a small renovation to a custom estate. If you desire, please call us for greater detail on why you should choose RLS.”

"We have now been in our house for three great years. We wanted to take the time to thank you and Todd for making our building experience so wonderful. You stated upfront that your company would not be the least expensive, but it would be the best — and that has proven to be true. We came to you with some ideas based on our previous home and those we had seen at shows throughout the area. You were able to guide us successfully from the design process through closing. Your ability to make recommendations without forcing your opinions not only kept us on budget, but reminded us of things we might regret later if we omitted them. Your willingness to answer our questions, no matter how trivial, also put us at ease. We would highly recommend RLS to our friends and coworkers."
