Do you build to current Lismore flood-level controls?

Yes. Every Lismore new build or substantial reno on a flood-affected lot is designed and built to the council's current floor-level requirements. We work with engineers, certifiers and Lismore City Council on every flood-affected job.

Can you work on a 2022-flood-affected home where insurance is paying?

Yes. Insurer-paid rebuilds typically need detailed scope documentation, transparent invoicing and a clear practical-completion sign-off. We provide all of that as part of the standard contract process.

Riversedge Building Group services Lismore and Goonellabah — the Lismore City LGA at the centre of the Northern Rivers. Lismore was hit hard by the 2022 floods, and the resulting wave of rebuild and flood-resilient retrofit work has reshaped how new and renovated homes are designed across the local government area.

Our Lismore work covers new home builds (often on raised-floor designs), renovations and extensions on flood-affected and unaffected sites, post-flood rebuilds where insurance and grants are part of the funding mix.

Lismore City Council floor-level controls

Lismore City Council's flood-planning provisions have been the most prominent residential-building constraint in the Northern Rivers since the 2022 floods. Floor levels on flood-affected lots are typically set well above the historical 1% AEP level. We design and build to those controls — raised-floor pier-and-beam construction, flood-resilient material selection on lower-level walls, services routed above flood level where practical.

Post-flood rebuild experience

Working on a post-flood rebuild is different from a new build on a clean site. Existing slab and footing assessment, salvage decisions, demolition coordination, insurance liaison and (where relevant) grant-program compliance all add to the standard residential pathway. We've worked through this process and can help you understand where the cost actually sits.
