Builders in Albert Park, Middle Park, South Melbourne & Port Melbourne

Grace Lewin Construction is a registered building company based at our design studio on Bridport Street, Albert Park. We specialise in architectural extensions, heritage renovations and custom new homes across Albert Park, Middle Park, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne.

Building in these suburbs comes with its own challenges: narrow terrace blocks, heritage overlays, shared boundaries and tight site access. We've built right across these streets, and we know how to plan around them from day one.

What we build

Extensions to period homes — contemporary additions to Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages that open them up to light and garden while respecting the original street frontage.

Heritage renovations — careful restoration and reworking of period homes, working with council heritage requirements rather than against them.

Architectural new builds — custom homes delivered with the architects and designers our clients choose, built with the precision their drawings demand.

Pre-construction support — if you're still planning, we can help with design and architect referrals, buildability reviews, preliminary budgets and permits.

Why build with a local builder

  • We're around the corner. Our design studio is on Bridport Street, so we're on site often and easy to meet.

  • Directors on every job. James and Sam both hold Unlimited Domestic Building Licences, and one or both of them is involved in your project from first meeting to handover.

  • We know the local rules. Heritage overlays, council approvals and tight inner-city sites are routine for us.

  • Move in on time or we cover your rent.

"They sorted through issues as they arose including working with the council and kept us updated throughout." — Jake Fenech
