Get started in 3 steps

  1. Free consultation and feasibility

    We assess how many dwellings your block can realistically carry under the local planning scheme, and what the build and end values look like, before you spend on design.

  2. Design, estimate and town planning

    We design the development to maximise yield without fighting the council, give you a clear cost estimate and manage the town planning application through to permit.

  3. Build and handover

    We construct all dwellings under a fixed-price contract, coordinate services and authorities, and hand over homes ready to sell, rent or live in.

What's included

  • Development feasibility

    Yield, build cost and end value tested up front so the project stacks up on paper first.

  • Townhouse and unit design

    Layouts that satisfy the planning scheme while staying attractive to buyers and renters.

  • Town planning management

    Application, referrals, further-information responses and negotiation handled for you.

  • Working drawings and engineering

    Full documentation, structural engineering and energy compliance coordinated in-house.

  • Fixed-price construction

    All dwellings built under one contract with a clear price and program.

  • Subdivision coordination

    We work with your surveyor and conveyancer so titles are ready when the build completes.

Frequently asked questions

How many townhouses can I fit on my block?

It depends on the zone, the block dimensions and overlays like neighbourhood character or heritage. As a rough Melbourne guide, blocks over 650 square metres in a General Residential Zone can often carry three or more dwellings. We assess your block for free before you commit.

How much does a townhouse development cost to build?

Construction for a typical Melbourne townhouse usually runs from around $450,000 to $650,000 per dwelling, plus design, permits and authority costs. We give you a full development cost breakdown at the feasibility stage.

How long does town planning take for a multi-unit project?

Most multi-dwelling planning applications in Melbourne take 6 to 12 months from lodgement to permit, depending on the council and whether objections are received. We manage the process and keep the application moving.

Do you build for first-time developers?

Yes. Many of our clients are owners doing their first development on a family block. We run the feasibility with you, explain each step in plain language and carry the project through one team so you are never coordinating consultants yourself.

Can you take over a project that already has a planning permit?

Yes. If you already hold a permit, we can price the endorsed drawings, complete working drawings and engineering, and build the project under a fixed-price contract.
