City of Darebin
Builders in Preston
Preston is one of the strongest suburbs in Melbourne's north for redevelopment. Blocks are typically 500 to 650 square metres, the housing stock is a mix of interwar weatherboards and postwar brick, and the market around Preston Market, High Street and the level-crossing-removed stations keeps end values healthy for new homes.

Planning context in the City of Darebin
Most residential streets in Preston sit in the General Residential Zone under the Darebin planning scheme, which supports well-designed duplexes and townhouses, while some quieter pockets carry the Neighbourhood Residential Zone with tighter dwelling and garden-area controls.
Darebin assesses multi-dwelling proposals closely on neighbourhood character, landscaping and garden area, so a design that works with the street rather than against it moves through council far more smoothly. We check the zoning and overlays on your block as the first step of every Preston feasibility.
What we build in Preston
- Duplex Builder: Turn one block into two quality homes. We design and build duplexes end to end, from feasibility and town planning through to handover, on a fixed-price contract.
- Knockdown Rebuild: Love your street but not your house? We demolish the old home and build the new one in its place, managing design, permits, demolition and construction under one roof.
- Multi-Unit & Townhouse Builder: Two, three or more dwellings on one block. We take townhouse and unit developments from feasibility and town planning through to construction and handover.
