General
Generally, we work with clients who have undertaken a project before or who are supported by an experienced client representative (such as an architect or project manager.) This ensures we can focus on delivering exceptional results without needing to hand-hold through the process.
We focus on projects across the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Greater Geelong regions.
Unlike many builders, we don’t compete on lowest price. Every North project is delivered using our proven system designed to provide clarity and transparency at every stage, manage complexity with dedicated project managers and deliver healthy, high-performance projects that stand the test of time. Our focus is on quality, precision and collaboration.
North Building Group is a premium residential and commercial construction company specialising in architecturally designed, high-end projects across the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Greater Geelong. With over 20 years of industry experience, we deliver healthy, energy-efficient, and high-performance projects using our proven framework: a structured project management system designed to keep every build calm, predictable and transparent.
We specialise in architecturally designed, high-end residential projects, energy-efficient and sustainable builds, boutique commercial projects including hotels, bars, cafes and complex projects requiring advanced project management and collaboration with architects and consultants.
Our capabilities
Yes, we selectively deliver boutique commercial projects that align with our expertise and standards. Examples include hospitality venues, hotels, bars and bespoke fit-outs.
Sustainability is at the heart of our approach. We use high-performance building systems including Pro Clima membranes, HRV systems and premium insulation strategies to deliver healthy, energy-efficient projects. We work closely with architects and consultants to meet and exceed energy-rating targets while maintaining architectural intent.
Absolutely. We specialise in architecturally complex projects involving steep or constrained sites, basements and suspended concrete slabs, passive house components and HRV systems, high-performance building envelopes with advanced Pro Clima systems, and custom stonework and bespoke detailing.
We don’t provide in-house design, but we manage the entire design process through our preferred network of architects, engineers and consultants. This ensures early collaboration, realistic budgets and seamless project delivery.
Our process
Quality is built into our systems. Our project managers conduct regular site inspections, we work exclusively with trusted trades and our procurement process is tightly managed. Every project is tracked through Procore, ensuring complete visibility and accountability from start to finish.
It all begins with a qualification call to confirm fit, followed by a discovery meeting where we dive into your project in detail. From there, we’ll outline your program, provide cost advice and guide you through the next steps to bring your vision to life.
Yes. We prefer to be involved early in the process so we can provide realistic cost guidance before plans are finalised. This avoids surprises later and ensures your design stays aligned with your budget.
Every North project has a dedicated project manager responsible for overseeing quality, program and budget. We provide structured weekly reporting that includes updated construction programs, budget tracking and cost-to-complete reports, trade letting schedules, and site progress photos. This ensures you’re fully informed and in control at all times.
We deliver every project through our proven framework: a structured approach designed to give our clients complete clarity and control. The key stages include: Discovery & Pre-Construction (understanding your goals, budget and design intent), Design Management (aligning costs, program and constructability), Fixed Pricing & Approvals (transparent costings with no hidden surprises), Construction Delivery (dedicated project management, weekly reporting and clear communication), and Handover & Beyond (manuals, warranty information and ongoing support).
