Craft Built Homes is a Kilsyth-based team of renovation and extension builders working across Melbourne's eastern and inner-eastern suburbs. We deliver home renovations and home extensions that improve how a home works day-to-day, with better layouts, more natural light, and a stronger connection between old and new. If you're comparing renovation and extension builders in Melbourne, this page covers where we work, what we build, and what to expect from the process.
We build regularly across the following suburbs. Each page covers the local planning environment, typical project types, council requirements, and what to expect from a build in that area.
We're not the biggest building company in Melbourne. We take on a limited number of projects each year, which means the person you speak to at the start of your project manages it through to handover, not a sales rep who hands you off to a site supervisor you've never met.
Many of the suburbs we build in including parts of Boroondara, Manningham and Whitehorse fall under heritage or Neighbourhood Character Overlays, which affect what a renovation or extension can look like from the street and how long council approval takes. We check this at the planning stage, alongside guidance from the Victorian Building Authority on permit requirements, so there are no surprises once construction starts.
