Custom Home Builds in Melbourne
Alongside our renovation and extension work, we take on a small number of custom new builds — including knockdown-rebuilds on tight inner-city sites. These are one-off homes for clients who want a registered builder and qualified carpenter genuinely across the detail, not a volume builder.
Who it's for
Is custom homes right for you?
- Clients planning a one-off home or knockdown-rebuild in inner Melbourne.
- Owners who want a hands-on builder collaborating with their architect or designer.
- Projects where craftsmanship and finish matter more than volume-builder speed.
What's included
What we take care of.
The hard parts, handled
Common challenges — and how we solve them.
Tight inner-city sites are difficult to build on.
Years managing complex inner-suburban work means access, logistics and neighbours are handled properly.
Volume builders can lose the detail on a one-off home.
With one to two projects at a time and Marc on site, the detail that makes a custom home worth building is never the thing that slips.
Custom builds are delivered in close collaboration with your architect or designer, with the builder involved early to keep the design buildable and on budget.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions.
- Do you do knockdown-rebuilds?
- Yes — we take on selected knockdown-rebuild projects, including on tight inner-city blocks. A current example is a three-bedroom rebuild in Richmond.
- Will Marc actually be on site?
- Yes. Staying physically involved on site is central to how Kelly Construction Co works — it's the reason clients get the quality and accountability they're after.
