What We Do
We develop practical design solutions around the requirements of each project, from initial concepts through design development.
We help projects navigate planning requirements and approvals, coordinating documentation and working through the requirements relevant to each site and project.
We prepare detailed drawings and specifications to support tendering and construction.
Where engaged, we support the project beyond documentation, helping coordinate the tender process and providing services through construction.
Two Generations
Experience that carries through every project.
Established in 1988, De Nova Group is a multigenerational family business with decades of experience across the building and construction industry.
Our experience includes hundreds of projects across a diverse range of sectors, with more than 400 aged care and retirement projects delivered over that period across Victoria.
We also work across child care, health, mixed use, office, residential apartments and multi dwelling, and residential hotels, bringing this experience to commercial and residential projects across Victoria.
From complex new developments to extensions, refurbishments and adaptive projects, our experience gives clients a practical understanding of the requirements that shape successful project delivery.
