If your builder has gone bust or your construction project has stalled — Magna Building Group can step in, assess the site, and deliver your finished home with minimal stress
Why We Take on Unfinished Build Projects

Foundations poured, walls half up, or roof frames installed… then the builder disappears or goes into liquidation.
At Magna Building Group, we specialise in rescuing stalled residential construction projects across the Perth metro area. Our experienced team knows how to step in mid-build, assess existing work, bring the site back to compliance, and deliver a finished, high-quality home.

Our Takeover Process
1. Initial Site Inspection & Assessment
We inspect your site and review existing engineering, building inspector reports, drawings, council permits, and QBE insurance status.
2. Structural & Compliance Check
On analysing the provided builders report, we identify what’s been done correctly, what needs rectification, and what can be certified.
3. Transparent Costing & Programme
A fee proposal and build program is provided to get your project back on track.
4. Re-mobilisation & Completion
We handle approvals, new contracts, addendas, and construction through to Practical Completion.
Reviews From Recent Takeover Clients
Current Takeover Builds
Gerygone Loop, East Cannington
Magna Building Group were engaged under Home Indemnity Insurance to complete a two-storey dwelling that was left incomplete when the original builder entered liquidation.
At takeover, the home was at upper-floor roof-cover stage with significant structural and weather-related rectifications required.
Our team has since worked with engineers to stabilise and rebuild critical structural elements.
The project is currently ongoing, progressing toward full completion under Magna’s supervision.
Prosperous Way, Willetton
This double-storey residence was originally commenced by a well known volume builder under a fixed-price residential building contract.
Works proceeded through to ground-floor plate height with partial framing to the first-floor structure before construction was halted in 2024 when the builder ceased trading and surrendered its registration.
At the time of takeover, slab, brickwork, and initial structural framing were largely completed, with roof framing, services rough-ins, and upper-storey works not yet undertaken.
Magna Building Group has since been engaged to review the site condition, assess structural compliance, and complete the outstanding construction works through to full practical completion. The project is now active and progressing under our management, with rectification and recommencement works currently underway.
Serene Lane, Willetton
This double-storey family home was left incomplete when the previous builder ceased trading.
At takeover, the structure had reached upper-floor floor framing, with external walls and slab in place at ground level.
Magna Building Group has been engaged under a new contract in 2025 to carry out all remaining construction, compliance, and finishing works to bring the residence through to full handover.
The project is currently underway, with restoration, fit-out, and completion works progressing in line with updated engineering and compliance reports.
