Builders in East Devon
RC-Builders Ltd is a family-run building contractor based in Honiton and working across the whole East Devon district. We deliver extensions, renovations, loft conversions and new builds \u2014 managing each project from first drawings through to final handover.
Building Contractors Across East Devon
East Devon stretches from the outskirts of Exeter to the Jurassic Coast, taking in market towns, seaside resorts and rural villages. Being based in Honiton puts us at the heart of the district, so we can reach sites quickly from Axminster to Ottery St Mary, and from the coast at Sidmouth and Exmouth inland to the Blackdown Hills.
We take on substantial residential building work across East Devon \u2014 not small handyman jobs, but the kind of extensions, renovations, loft conversions and new builds that benefit from proper project management. We are familiar with East Devon District Council\u2019s planning and building control processes, and with the district\u2019s mix of period town properties, coastal homes and rural cottages.

Can you work in conservation areas in East Devon?
Many East Devon towns and villages include conservation areas. We are experienced in working within these constraints and preparing proposals that respect local character. Whether consent is needed depends on your specific property and the work proposed, so we always check at the outset.
Do you take on projects in the smaller East Devon villages?
Yes. As well as the main towns we work in villages across East Devon. Because we are based locally, travelling to rural sites is straightforward for us. Get in touch and we can confirm whether we cover your village.
