Stage 3: The Build
You’ve made it, Stage 3! After all the planning, decisions, and preparation, this is where your vision finally comes to life. The build stage is when you hand the reigns to your trusted builder, and they bring together all the pieces to create your new space.
At Rise Residential, we pride ourselves on handling this stage with honesty, clear communication, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship. Our goal isn’t just to build, it’s to deliver a home you’ll be proud of for years to come.
Phase 1: Navigating the Challenges
Renovations rarely run perfectly. Hidden issues like rotting floorboards, timber damage, unpredictable weather, or supply chain delays can pop up. These challenges are normal and don’t have to derail your project. When you work with an experienced builder, the difference is in how those challenges are handled. At Rise Residential, we make sure you are:
- Informed promptly about any issues that arise
- Presented with options – including costs and benefits, so you can make the right decision
- Given clear timelines to act, keeping your project moving
To protect you from the unexpected, all reputable builders, including us, factor in a contingency cost (usually around 15%) to ensure you have room to adapt without breaking the budget. That way, even when surprises happen, you remain in control.
Phase 2: The Finishing Touches
This is where your renovation becomes uniquely yours. From paint colours and flooring to cabinetry hardware and lighting, the final details are locked in during this phase. Our role is to guide you through these decisions, connecting you with trusted experts and suppliers who share our values of quality and integrity. By finalising these elements on time, subcontractors can install your chosen finishes seamlessly, ensuring your project maintains its pace and standard of excellence.

Phase 3: The Final Reveal
At the completion of your build, we’ll walk through the home with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. This is your chance to flag any small issues, like a stiff door hinge, a handle out of alignment, or a mark on the wall.
These details matter, and we take them seriously. It’s not just about finishing a project it’s about making sure you’re completely satisfied with the quality of the work.
Once everything is polished and complete, it’s time to celebrate your transformed home. We encourage you to enjoy the moment, capture your favourite features in photos, and share your experience. For us, nothing is more rewarding than knowing we’ve delivered a build that reflects honesty, care, and superior craftsmanship.
