About us

We’re a Melbourne based residential building company passionate about bringing architecturally designed homes to life. Celebrating over 10 years of creating bespoke new builds, renovations and extensions that combine design vision with quality craftsmanship.

We work closely with some of Melbourne’s most respected architects and designers to deliver homes that are highly detailed, thoughtfully executed and tailored to each client’s desires. Every project we take on is guided by our commitment to careful planning, transparent communication and exceptional workmanship.

Our team is made up of skilled builders, trades and project managers who share the same goal: to create homes that not only meet, but consistently exceed, our clients’ expectations. We focus on delivering projects on budget, on program and with the highest attention to detail, so that every home we build is both beautiful and enduring.

Over the past decade, we’ve been fortunate to work on a variety of projects across Melbourne, each one a collaboration that reflects the unique vision of our clients and the architects we partner with. At HBA we’re proud to do what we do building homes that people love to live in, for years to come.
