First home is a dream for every person & I’d like to thank Mardo Builders for delivering us a beautiful family space. We could never be happier with the results and the process in time frame. My dealings with Mardo builders were much more professional. I found them very professional, considerate & respectful team of builders , who were happy to fix every nooks & corners of my first house . I’d personally thank Mr. Rafa who took an extra effort to make our new home lively. Rafa & his team had good solutions & was responsive to requests. Most importantly they kept the project within the time frame, ensured we could move into our house on time , which we really appreciate. I would heartily recommend Mardo Builders & his team to anyone thinking about to renovate a house.Posted on Ali SahandiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Frequently Asked Questions
These successful outcomes often lead to more specific questions about our services. Here are the answers to the most common ones we receive.
How does financing for a development project work?
Most clients use a staged construction loan. We provide the fixed-price Housing Industry Association contract and council-approved plans your bank requires for a straightforward approval process.
What is the minimum block size for development in Melbourne?
A block size of over 600sqm with a frontage of at least 15.24 metres is the general minimum requirement for a dual-occupancy development in most Melbourne councils.
How involved do I need to be in the development?
Your main involvement is during the initial design and finishes selection. Once construction begins, we manage everything. We provide regular updates, but our service is designed for a completely hands-off experience for all our developments.
What are the tax implications of a new development?
These developments can have significant tax implications, including Goods and Services Tax and Capital Gains Tax. The rules are complex, so we strongly recommend speaking with your accountant early to structure the project correctly.
Can I sell a townhouse "off the plan"?
Yes, this is a common strategy to secure funding and lock in a profit early. We can provide all the necessary plans and 3D marketing renders to facilitate selling off-the-plan townhouses.
