refabricate

Construct once more

To refabricate is to fabricate again—to remake, reconstruct, or manufacture anew something that existed before: The company refabricated the damaged components.

The word suggests rebuilding from raw materials rather than simple repair.

It can also mean to concoct a new version of a story or falsehood: He refabricated his alibi when the first one fell apart.
