About Us
With almost 20 years industry experience between us, the Resibuilt team has the know-how to tackle pretty much any task, but we’re always keen to learn more. All of us share a common goal: to turn up every single day and do our finest work, building perfectly finished homes to the highest of standards. We are proud to be part of the Registered Master Builders Association.
Resibuilt are a family business, which goes a long way to explain our values and commitment to absolute integrity. Kieran has been in construction for nearly 20 years now, and is responsible for making sure that quality homes are delivered on time and up to standard. His wife Olivia is also a crucial member of the Resibuilt team, handling the finances, sorting out the admin, and collaborating on big picture strategy. Their three preschool aged kids haven’t been roped into the family enterprise quite yet, but there’s still plenty of time for all that.

How we work
Everyone has a different dream for their new house, and we take great care to make sure we’re on the same page. But even though the details are always unique, each of our builds goes through the same tried and tested process:
Initial Consultation
Not quite sure where to start? Let’s have a chat about bringing your ideas into the real world.
Concept Design & Pricing
Everything’s clearer when you put it down on paper. This is where you make sure everything fits together nicely, and falls within your budget.
Detailed Drawings
Time for the nitty gritty: these drawings are the ones we’ll send off to the council for approval. This stage is also when the final build price is fixed.
Contract & Consent
Let’s make it official. Contracts are signed and final plans are sent off to your local council for consent.
Construction
Time to build! After all the prep, it’s finally happening. Between us and our conscientious subcontractors, we’re fully committed to bringing your vision to life.
Handover
It’s the day you’ve been waiting for. The journey is over, everything’s done and your shiny new home is ready and waiting. Congrats!
