How do I know my budget won't blow out?
Every ResiCorp project starts with a detailed, itemised fixed-price contract — signed before a single nail goes in. Every inclusion is in writing. If something isn't in the contract, we don't charge for it. What we quote is what you pay.
Who actually runs my build day-to-day?
Hamzeh El Sayed — the licensed builder — personally. Not a site supervisor you've never met, not a subcontracted project manager. You get his direct number on day one, and he's on site throughout. That's the ResiCorp difference.
We've had bad experiences with builders before. Why would ResiCorp be different?
Most bad experiences come from builders who over-promise, then hand the job to someone else. At ResiCorp, the person you meet and trust is the person building your home. We also won't take on more projects than we can manage — so you always get our full attention.
What does the free consultation actually involve?
It's a genuine working session — not a sales pitch. Hamzeh visits your site, assesses what's possible, and gives you a clear, honest picture of timeline and budget. You walk away with real information whether you build with us or not. There's no cost and no obligation.
Do I need to have plans or a DA already?
Not at all. We can work from your ideas, from sketch plans, or from full DA-approved drawings. If you already have an architect, we're happy to work alongside them. We also provide design assistance if you need help getting started.
How long does a knock down rebuild or duplex typically take?
It depends on the scope, approvals path and site conditions — but most KDRs run 10–14 months from DA approval to handover. A duplex is typically similar. We give you a clear, week-by-week schedule before we start, and update you throughout.
How is ResiCorp different from a volume builder?
A volume builder sells you a fixed catalogue home and hands your job to a supervisor managing twenty other sites. We build to your plans, on your block, and cap how many projects we run at once so the licensed builder is genuinely across yours. You get one accountable person instead of a call centre, a contract written around your build instead of a standard inclusions list, and no "upgrade" pricing designed to move you off the base package. ResiCorp is a member of the Master Builders Association NSW.
How are variations and changes handled?
Nothing is added to your invoice that you haven't approved in writing first. If you request a change, or a genuine site condition forces one, we price it, put it in writing, and only proceed once you've signed it off. You'll always know what a change costs before it happens — that's the whole point of starting from a fixed-price contract.
What warranties and insurance do I get?
Residential building work in NSW carries statutory warranties under the Home Building Act: six years for major defects and two years for other defects, running from completion. ResiCorp holds NSW Builder Licence 475264C and is fully insured. Beyond the statutory cover we come back twice — a proactive builder maintenance review at three months and again at twelve months after handover, at no charge. Your handover pack includes your certificates and warranty documentation in one place.
What areas of Sydney do you build in?
132 suburbs across the Sydney basin — the South-West, Campbelltown and Macarthur, the Western Sydney Airport precinct, Western Sydney and the Hills, Canterbury-Bankstown, the Inner West, St George, the Sutherland Shire, the Northern Suburbs, the Eastern Suburbs, and out through Picton. The full list is in our coverage section above. Not sure about your suburb? Call or WhatsApp Hamzeh directly on 0423 496 726.
