About Toorak
Local knowledge, bespoke delivery.
Toorak is Melbourne's most storied address — heritage estates, leafy boulevards, and pools that are as much about architecture as they are about swimming. Every Toorak build we undertake respects the suburb's design language: elegant proportions, natural materials, and seamless integration with the home.
Toorak homeowners expect excellence and discretion in equal measure. We build to an architectural standard that stands alongside the finest homes in the postcode — and we do it without the drama. Phil personally oversees every build we take on in Toorak.
Building in Toorak typically means working within the City of Stonnington's heritage overlays, established gardens with mature trees, and access constraints that demand careful staging. Many Toorak sites sit on a mix of clay and reactive soils that require engineered footings and waterproof shell construction — exactly what reinforced concrete is built for. We coordinate closely with architects, landscape designers, and arborists from the outset so the pool drops cleanly into the broader design narrative, not as an afterthought.

Building a pool in Toorak.
The questions we hear most often from Toorak homeowners.
Do you handle heritage-overlay approvals in Toorak?+
Yes. The City of Stonnington applies heritage controls across much of Toorak and the planning permit process can take 8–14 weeks depending on the property's overlay status. We handle the planning submission, engineering documentation, and any required arborist or heritage consultant reports as part of the design phase.
Can you build with tight access on Toorak sites?+
Tight access is the norm in Toorak — heritage frontages, narrow side lanes, established gardens. We regularly build with crane access only, hand-barrowed excavation, and concrete pumping from the street. Site access is assessed during the consultation and factored into the timeline up-front.
What's a realistic timeline for a Toorak pool build?+
Allow 5–7 months total from first consult to handover for a standard Toorak build: 6–10 weeks for design and approvals, 12–16 weeks for construction. Architectural builds with heritage overlay reviews can extend to 8–9 months. We give you a detailed week-by-week timeline during the design phase.
