This is done on the building details page for a floor you want to have beneath the new construction stage.

3.Enter a name for the new construction stage and, optionally, any other relevant information.

4.Click Save and Close.

If you navigate back to the building details page, the new construction stage that now contains the pre-existing floors is shown in the Construction Stages section.
