We have worked with Risen Developments for around 4 years now and each experience has been excellent. Their initial consults with their clients ensure a hassle free build with great outcomes for their clients. The final product is of a very high quality and as such they are in high demand as a builder for family & bespoke homes.

Craig and the team from Risen are awesome! They helped us with a full renovation of our house and I couldnt fault any part of the process. From Craigs brilliant & innovative ideas at the planning stage, the support throughout the project and of course the immaculate finish provided at then end. I will definitely be working with the Risen Developments team again

Craig & the team at Risen converted our small cottage into the home of our dreams. 10 years on I still love the work they did & I still contact Craig when I need advice even though he has relocated to the Gold Coast. He was very flexible, allowing us to exclude items that we wanted to do ourselves to keep within our tight budget. Its a steep block & the build included preserving much of the old cottage but Craig provided really clear information about what was included & excluded (so there were no surprises). Highly recommend this hardworking bloke & his team! Kath & Paul at Sandy Point

We used Risen Developments for our garage conversion, new carport & alfresco area. Craig & his highly skilled team did an amazing job and their attention to detail is outstanding! Having open communication with your builder is key and Craig always kept us up to date with our build and talked through each stage as he is so easy to deal with. If you are looking for a honest, hard working & reliable builder contact Risen Developments as we highly recommend them!
