What we do
Established in 1988, De Nova Group provides director-led design, planning, documentation and contract administration services for commercial and residential projects across Victoria.
From concept to project delivery, we guide clients through planning approvals and full documentation across aged care and assisted living, retirement living, child care, health, mixed use, office, residential apartments and multi dwelling, and residential hotels.
Design & Delivery
We design commercial and residential projects across Victoria, shaped around your brief, your site and the planning requirements that apply to it.
From initial concept through to town planning approval, we work through the details early so your project moves forward with clarity and fewer surprises.
Our services include schematic design, town planning and heritage approvals, building documentation, tender assistance. Once approvals are in place, we prepare the full documentation needed for tendering and construction, and provide contract administration through the construction phase. Whether you're planning a multi-unit residential project, a commercial space or a new home, we stay with you until the work is complete.
Case study
Case StudyDocumentation complete, ready for construction commencement
A complex heritage-listed multi-lot and landmark site rework comprising a 110-room, 6-storey plus basement hotel development over 4,930 square meters of gross building area, successfully navigated through both Council and Heritage Victoria approvals.
Case StudyBuilding documentation underway
A live-site aged care extension across 5 construction stages for Brimlea Aged Care. Successfully eliminated internal ramping by negotiating a consistent floor level across existing structures and the new extension despite a flood overlay, overseen by Glen Eira City Council.
