Building Dreams Throughout Ayrshire and Glasgow
RHA is more than a construction company. It’s the promise of a transformative project which sees expectations exceeded and dreams brought to life.
Specialising in luxury and innovative environments for upscale residences, properties and estates, RHA understands the importance of ‘home’ and is committed to creating distinctive, luxury homes to reflect individual visions and lifestyles.
Managing Director, Roger Thompson, explains why RHA is the most trusted luxury home builder in Ayrshire and why so many people rely on his team to deliver innovative design, quality products and expert installation.
When was RHA Construction first established?
RHA Construction was established in early 2019. My background was in building one-off luxury homes in Northern Ireland. Prior to this I was a bricklayer by trade. I’ve been in the construction industry since leaving school.
Please introduce us to your team.
My team has grown through the years. The business started off with me and a carpenter, John Chalmers, who has been an integral part of the company from the beginning. His diverse skills see him doing all aspects of joinery work from hand-cut roofs to bespoke bars and furniture. We also have David Mcrone, another carpenter who has many years of experience and a wealth of knowledge. These guys are great teachers to my two up-and-coming apprentices who are learning how to do things the right way. Completing the team we have a bricklayer, tiler and labourer, plus a couple of trusted sub-contractors who have been with me from the start. We all have a great working relationship.
What sets RHA apart from other construction firms?
What makes RHA Construction different from the rest is the team’s attention to detail. Right from the start, our vision was to specialise in bespoke projects and the portfolio of projects through the years has matched this vision. We are always learning and training, keen to make every project even better than the client’s own vision. We prioritise one or two jobs at a time and as the job progresses it will have a planned work schedule with the aim of completing the job as quickly and as efficiently as possible.
What sets us apart is our quality of workmanship. From taking a building out of the ground to the finished interiors, our team takes great pride in customer satisfaction.
Talk us through the services offered by RHA.
The services we offer are a complete design build package including interior design and furniture. We use the finest materials and have close relationships with several large manufacturers. Just recently, Lusso Stone featured one of our bathrooms across its socials.
Is there any limit to the size of project you undertake?
We concentrate on large bespoke projects ranging from new builds and large refurbs including heritage and listed works and extensions.
A recent project completed in Alloway was a five-bedroom period home stripped back to brick. A full underfloor system was installed, and five bathrooms were designed and fitted. Cabinetry and furniture were made to measure, including a bespoke bar, and the home was then fully decorated. This is just one of the projects shown on our website.
How involved are you with your customers’ projects?
I’m heavily involved with all clients. Every client has different tastes, and their requirements need careful consideration so the project not only looks stunning but functions well too. RHA Construction has achieved its current standing based on reputation. The majority of my clients are repeat customers who come back time and time again, and 90% of my work comes from recommendations which is always a good sign.
What advice do you have for someone considering a transformative construction project?
My advice for anyone considering a larger project is to choose your builder and ask to visit one of their similar sized projects. It helps if you can talk to a previous client but, most importantly, make sure the builder is someone you can trust and see yourself having a trusting relationship with. For larger projects, spending that little bit extra to get the right builder who has the ability to deliver exactly what you want is crucial.
