we build new homes, extensions, renovations, brick fences and high security fences in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.

We love working on a variety of construction projects.

Our building and project management services cover all design, permit and construction stages for new homes, extensions, renovations, brick fences and high security fences.

We typically service the inner, eastern and south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne as well as the Mornington Peninsula.

We are here to engage with our clients and the design team throughout the entire project life cycle and to contribute our construction expertise to the design stages. During the design stages, we manage, supervise and perform site inspections to confirm existing conditions and to determine how they impact the design. We also review all design documents at each stage; providing the client and design team with feedback on constructability and potential cost savings as early as possible.

The requirement to apply for design related permits from council and authorities is unique to each project. We are happy to apply for any council or authority permits that apply to the project, and to manage the applications as they progress. Where possible, we will also negotiate with the relevant council or authority for an outcome that reduces the cost of any permit conditions imposed.

Our greatest joy and challenge – bringing your project to life. Each of our construction projects is supported by a detailed, custom project programme. This programme is an ordered schedule of tasks, durations, dates and notes that allows us to forward plan, work efficiently, coordinate trades, keep track of specific details and to provide you with updates as work progresses.

We typically service the following suburbs, but we can take on projects in other suburbs or in regional Victoria.

There’s no need to have any drawings or permits in place. Having an idea is all that you need for us to have a quick chat on the phone. We’ll discuss your vision, general requirements, budget and arrange a time for a ‘hello’ meeting. We’ll also provide you with our introductory ‘hello’ brochure that details our process and what you can expect moving forward.

During our initial ‘hello’ meeting, we’ll discuss the high-level considerations of your project – including your budget, design and functional requirements, permit requirements and site considerations. We’ll also discuss the stages of our process and next steps that we support you through.

We generally don’t have a long lead time for starting projects. As soon as a project is ready, we are ready. Every project however, is unique and will require us to obtain different permits before we start work on site. Likely permit requirements, application fees and durations will be discussed during our first ‘hello’ meeting and all other stages of your project.

We provide updates on the permits, negotiations and expected start dates as the applications progress.
