When I built my house , the builder was still appointing them so I cannot help. I’ve appointed one since for pergola and another for a deck, but not for a full house build. I commend you for seeking to appoint a different RBS. If building now I would choose a building consultant and ask them if they can recommend an RBS. Or if they can suggest what you should look for or ask to help you choose one unless you can get some good advice from those in the know about what to look for/ask. If they cannot recommend anyone, check with RBS you appoint that you will get copies of the inspection reports they provide the builder so you can pass onto your consultant. I would ask who completes their stage inspections, is there any consistency in inspectors used, who checks the defects they identify have been rectified, cost of any additional inspections, how they will communicate with you if required, what quality assurance procedures are in place for inspectors that are used, do they have any relationship with builder. Check if VBA has a list of any RBS that there have been disciplinary action against. I hope you receive some useful replies from others that have more knowledge than me.
