Common Questions

De Nova Group brings almost four decades of experience, having delivered more than 400 aged care and retirement projects over that period. Founded in 1988, clients work directly with our two directors, Ben and Lucky, ensuring every project receives senior leadership with extensive expertise spanning aged care, retirement living, child care, health, mixed use, office, residential apartments and multi dwelling, and residential hotels.

Yes. We are a director-led practice, so the people you meet at the start are the people who carry your project through. We have delivered projects valued from $1M to $100M+, with our sweet spot between $5M and $50M, including staged delivery on live, occupied sites. One consistent design partner takes you from early design and town planning through documentation, tendering and construction-phase services.

We design projects across Aged Care & Assisted Living, Retirement Living, Child Care, Health, Mixed Use, Office, Residential Apartments & Multi Dwelling and Residential Hotels across metropolitan and regional Victoria.

Our services follow the full project lifecycle: brief and discovery, schematic design, town planning and approvals (including statutory and heritage requirements), documentation and tender, and contract administration, where we stay involved on site so the finished building matches the design and quality standards.

Sustainability is considered from the first concept, not added at the end. We work with your consultants to shape each design around its site, orientation, daylight, durability and long-term running costs, while keeping it buildable and within budget.

Call us on +61 (0)3 9848 8777 or send an enquiry. We begin with a Brief & Discovery conversation with a director, where we listen first and then set clear goals around your objectives, site and budget.
