Beware that running rpmbuild as root is problematic (been there done that). :-)
The easy part is to run it as normal user, either with your account or a new account. In order to set the directories layout you can create a ~/.rpmmacros files with the new directories.
The easier setup is just: $ cat ~/.rpmmacros %_topdir /home/<user>/rpmbuild/
with the <user> replaced by the users name.
