Use yum to install rpmdevtools. Then rpmdev-setuptree will do all of the work
that's required to build rpms as a user.
I suppose rpmdevtools is only available from EPEL. But the following
procedures will do the job:
cd
mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
echo "%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild" > .rpmmacros
Then as root, yum install rpm-build
Johnny wrote a nice article here about building SRPMs:

Never had any problems since following Johnny's advice :)
You can modify Johnny's scripts to build for different targets (i386,
i686, x86_64 etc). For a build target of x86_64, you may want to specify
-m64.
