About RS Development Group

The Founder — Rogerio Alves

Rogerio Alves founded RS Development Group in 2008 after years working framing crews across MetroWest Massachusetts. He saw too many builders cutting corners on structural work — using undersized headers, skipping hurricane ties, ignoring snow load requirements specific to New England climate zones. The company was built on the principle that the frame is the most important part of any building, and that homeowners deserve a contractor whose first instinct is to do the structural work right.

Today, Rogerio personally reviews every project before final inspection is scheduled. The crew has framed over 200 structures across MetroWest — from starter homes in Marlborough to custom builds in Wellesley, Concord, and Newton. He speaks English, Portuguese, and Spanish; the office staff and field crews are intentionally multilingual to serve the demographics of Greater Boston construction clients.

Our Mission

We build the structural frame of a home with the same rigor a doctor brings to surgery. Every header, every hurricane tie, every snow-load calculation gets done the way the code expects — not the way that saves an hour. Homeowners trust us with the most expensive purchase of their lives, and most of what we do is invisible behind drywall a year later. That's exactly why getting it right matters. Cutting corners on framing is the kind of decision that comes back as cracked drywall, sagging floors, and ice dams a decade after the inspector signed off.
