The PLM Difference

There is no shortage of builders in Melbourne.

But very few speak the language of elegance.

Fewer still know how to execute it.

At PLM Design & Build, we create & renovate homes with presence.

Spaces that breathe luxury, without shouting.

Floor plans that feel tailored, because they are.

This isn’t design for the masses.

It’s bespoke living. Carefully measured, deeply personal, and architecturally striking.

What area are you based in?

PLM Design Build is based in Melbourne and services all of the eastern suburbs — including the north-east, south-east, and outer eastern regions. From Camberwell to Warrandyte, we deliver high-end residential builds across the entire eastern corridor.

Do you only build custom homes?

Custom homes are our specialty, but we also take on high-end renovations and extensions where architectural integrity and craftsmanship are required. Whether you’re starting from scratch or reimagining an existing home, we tailor every detail to suit your vision.

Can we work with our own architect or interior designer?

Absolutely. We’re happy to collaborate with your chosen architect or design team. We also offer in-house expertise — including our fully qualified interior designer, Kate, who brings over 8 years of experience to every project. Whether working with your team or ours, we ensure a seamless, design-led outcome.

Do you take on knockdown-rebuilds?

Yes. Many of our projects begin with a knockdown. We handle everything from demolition and planning to construction and final handover — ensuring a seamless process from day one.

How long does a custom build typically take?

Construction generally takes between 10–14 months, depending on complexity. When you include the design, planning, and approvals phase, the full process may extend to 16–18 months.

How do you approach budgets and transparency?

We provide clear, itemised costings from the beginning — with no hidden fees or vague allowances. Our clients have full visibility at every stage, and our goal is always to protect both quality and budget.

What makes PLM different from other builders?

We craft homes with purpose and precision. From curated materials to clean architectural lines, every PLM project reflects a commitment to excellence. We don’t just build houses — we deliver spaces that feel considered, calm, and distinctly yours.
