Melbourne & Victoria
AARCHI Projects is an independent construction project management practice. We handle the consultants, the councils, the permits and the trades, so you get the home or development you planned — on a program you can trust and a budget that holds.
What we do
Engage us for the whole project, or for just the part that is holding you up.
We run your build from day one to handover — engaging the right consultants, procuring trades, holding the program and protecting your budget.
Not ready to build yet? Get independent advice before you commit — on the site, the numbers, the design brief and who you should be talking to.
We prepare, lodge and chase your building permit — coordinating the building surveyor and every report they ask for until the permit issues.
Council planning is where most projects stall. We handle the town planning submission, respond to RFIs and keep the application moving.
The reports every project needs, ordered and managed in the right sequence so nothing holds up your permit or your slab.
Renovations carry more unknowns than new builds. We scope carefully, stage the works and manage the trades so you are not living in a building site longer than you must.
Why owners bring us in
Most people building a home or a small development are doing it for the first time, against professionals who do it every day. The gap in information is where budgets slip and programs blow out.
How it works
Every project runs through the same six stages. You always know which one you are in and what happens next.
We walk the site, listen to what you want to achieve and tell you plainly whether it stacks up.
Concept direction, a realistic cost range and a program you can plan your life around.
We order and coordinate every survey, test and report your permits will depend on.
Planning and building permit applications prepared, lodged and chased to issue.
Trades procured, program held, quality inspected, variations and claims controlled.
Defects closed out, warranties and certificates collected, keys in your hand.
What we manage
New builds on standard and irregular lots, including knock-down rebuilds.
Larger family homes where structure, access and staging need real planning.
Multi-dwelling developments — planning permits, staging and body corporate set-up.
Extensions, reconfigurations and full internal renovations to existing homes.
Common questions
We are a project management and consultancy practice — our ABN business activity is registered as construction project management service on a fee or contract basis. That means we work for you, not for the builder.
Construction work itself is carried out by registered building practitioners and licensed trades that we engage and manage on your behalf. Because our fee does not come out of the build, our advice stays independent.
We quote a fixed management fee once we understand the scope — the size of the build, how much documentation already exists and how much of the process you want us to carry. Consultation-only engagements can be arranged hourly or as a one-off review.
Send us your details through the quote form and we will come back with a written scope and fee, with no obligation.
Yes. We regularly pick up projects that have stalled at council, lost momentum with a builder, or where the owner has simply run out of time. We will review where things stand, tell you honestly what we think it will take, and step in from there.
It varies by council and by project. A building permit on a straightforward single dwelling with complete documentation can move quickly; a planning permit for a multi-unit development in a council with heavy overlays can take considerably longer, especially if objections are lodged.
We will give you a realistic timeframe for your specific site and council at the start — not an optimistic one.
We are based in Tarneit and work across Melbourne and regional Victoria. If you are unsure whether your site is within reach, call us and ask.
Tell us about your site and what you want to build. We'll come back with a clear scope, a realistic program and a fixed management fee.
