Mel Riley, alongside his brother Justin, founded DC Build, a residential construction company known for translating architectural visions into reality with exceptional craftsmanship. Led by a team of Master Builders and experienced project managers, DC Build, established in 2014, focuses on creating homes that bring pride to owners, architects, and the construction team alike. After leading large commercial projects, Mel and Justin returned to their passion for crafting high-quality residential builds.
In this episode, we sat down with Mel to discuss his journey building DC Build, the challenges of working with family, the lessons learned from significant financial setbacks, the importance of meticulously checking contracts, and the insights gained from appearing on The Block NZ. We also delve into the necessity of having hard conversations, trusting your gut instincts, the impact of business mentorship, breaking negative momentum, and the power of effective goal setting, all contributing to building a lasting legacy.
