We do not provide a design or architectural service so you’ll need to be ready with your plans before we get together.

We can work with all kinds of plans. The clearer you are about what you want the more accurate our advice and quoting is going to be, and that’s better for everyone.

Fill out the checklist below to see if you’re ready. If you’re missing any of the elements give us a call, we may be able to point you in the right direction.

To start with you will need:

  • Plans, either concept design or construction set
  • Specifications, ideally including details on fittings and fixtures for accurate quoting
  • Details of any items not standard like unique heating or lighting systems including manufacturer’s specifications
  • Details of any engineering required
  • A clear budget

As we progress through the quoting you may also need:

  • Soil report for new builds and extensions
  • BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) report for new builds and extensions
  • Energy Rating
  • Planning permit (if required)
  • Building permit (we can assist with this step if required)

You may also find the Consumer Affairs Domestic Building Consumer Guide helpful, particularly if you’re using a builder for the first time.

We found Dugald’s professionalism and courteous, calm manner very reassuring throughout the building process. His boys were courteous, hard working and friendly. Instructions were always noted and followed. Thank you for a job well done.

The Master Builders Excellence in Construction, Housing and Regional Building Awards are held annually, celebrating the exceptional craftsmanship and achievements of members throughout Victoria.

“It’s great recognition for the team of hardworking carpenters, subcontractors and suppliers who worked on the project and a wonderful way to see in our fifth year in business,” says Edifice Construction, Business Manager Ellissia Campbell.

“This home is all about simple solutions, exceptionally well executed,” says Ellissia.

“Our clients love to entertain and valued aesthetics over everything. Family connections in Copenhagen played a part in the new property’s distinctly Scandinavian design, which favours clean, simple lines and functionality, without sacrificing beauty.”

Once a tiny, run-down two-bedroom cottage, the owners were charmed by the property’s facade and its history and opted to retain rather than demolish it. Clever partitioning now separates the original property from the modern, Scandinavian-inspired extension which opens to a stunning outdoor living area including a pool and landscaped gardens.

Features abound, including Cemintel Barestone™ External prefinished panels, Binq double glazed windows and a suspended fireplace, designed by world-renowned French brand Focus.

“We developed an excellent relationship with our clients, who lived onsite, over the nine months of the build,” says Ellissia.

“They are extremely happy with their new home and equally pleased that it has been recognised by our industry as an example of exceptional workmanship.”
