I honestly can’t recommend Wafa and his team enough! They were professional, honest, and kept us in the loop the entire time. Plus they delivered exactly what they promised with no shortcuts. They were also super accommodating when we wanted to make a few changes along the way. Their attitude was so positive throughout, and they reconstructed our porch to be even better than it was before. If you want a building company that’s efficient, honest, and reliable, seriously—don’t look elsewhere.Posted on Google LESLIE EARNSHAWTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Marbo Co completely paint the inside of our house. Waffa gave a quick response, the quote was fair, and he was patient when we had to delay the start. Sean did a fantastic job, we were very happy with results and the communication, and both Sean and Waffa returned after we moved back in to make sure we were happy with the job and to do a couple of incidentals that were really helpful. Could not recommend them more highlyPosted on Google Peter AtanasovskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used Wafa and his crew for three separate jobs now from a bathroom renovation through to full house renovations, and I've had a great experience every time. He always answers the phone, is super responsive, and communicates clearly throughout the process. He shows up when he says he will, gets the job done properly, and genuinely wants to make sure you’re happy with the result. It’s rare to find someone you can trust to both start and finish a job to a high standard, but that’s exactly what you get with Wafa. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Yasir A.

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.
