you have to create them by hand: My rpmbuild/ looks like this:

[rpmbuild at rpm-devel ~]$ ls -l rpmbuild/
total 504
drwxrwxr-x 15 rpmbuild rpmbuild   4096 Oct 18 11:03 BUILD
drwxrwxr-x  4 rpmbuild rpmbuild   4096 May 31 16:55 RPMS
drwxrwxr-x  2 rpmbuild rpmbuild 466944 Oct 18 10:05 SOURCES
drwxrwxr-x  2 rpmbuild rpmbuild   4096 Oct 18 10:25 SPECS
drwxrwxr-x  2 rpmbuild rpmbuild   4096 Oct 18 11:27 SRPMS

Try the instructions from http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment .
