Custom Home Design & Construction
Home Builders in Beaumaris
If you’re planning to build or renovate in Beaumaris, you already know it’s not like building anywhere else in Melbourne. Between the Heritage Overlay, sandy coastal soils, and a streetscape shaped by some of the city’s finest mid-century architecture, your block comes with its own set of questions. As custom builders in Melbourne with a track record across the bayside suburbs, we bring the same care to every home in Beaumaris that we bring to projects in Brighton, Malvern, and South Yarra one dedicated project lead, a clear process, and a home that’s genuinely yours from the first conversation to the final handover.
What Makes It Different
Building in Beaumaris
Beaumaris sits on Port Phillip Bay, about 20 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD, within the City of Bayside. It’s known for generous lot sizes, established canopy, foreshore walking trails, and one of Melbourne’s most significant collections of mid-century modernist homes.
Neighbouring Black Rock and Sandringham share much of the same coastal character and planning framework. Many blocks also sit on sandy coastal soils, which means footings, drainage, and site drainage need to be designed for the site you actually have, not a generic spec pulled from a textbook.
Whether you’re planning a knockdown-rebuild, a heritage-sensitive renovation, or a new architecturally designed home, we start with a proper site visit reading your block, your soil, and your streetscape before a single design decision is made.

Vision & Consultation
We visit your Beaumaris site, discuss your brief, and check what heritage or overlay considerations apply.
Design & Development
Your floor plan and 3D design are developed around your block, your budget, and how you actually want to live.
Build & Construction
Our team manages permits, trades, and timelines in-house, so you're never chasing updates.
Handover & Aftercare
Your new home is inspected, handed over on time, and supported well beyond the final walkthrough.
We collaborate with some of Melbourne’s most respected architects to bring complex, design-led homes to life, and we don’t compromise on materials to hit a lower price point we align the build to your budget from the start. One dedicated project lead handles permits, trades, and communication throughout, so you always have a single point of contact. It’s the same standard of craftsmanship behind our work across Brighton, South Yarra, and Albert Park now brought to Beaumaris.
What We build
Beaumaris’s established blocks near the foreshore and Beaumaris Concourse often carry older homes on more land than the house uses, which is why a knockdown rebuild is usually the practical starting point here. Around the suburb’s mid-century modernist precincts, heritage requirements shape the brief from day one. Pascon builds around whichever starting point your site presents.

Beaumaris Home Building FAQs
Do I need a heritage permit to renovate in Beaumaris?
If your home falls within the Heritage Overlay, most external alterations visible from the street require a planning permit from Bayside City Council. We assess this during your first site visit and manage the submission if one is needed.
Do you build new homes, or only renovations, in Beaumaris?
Both. We take on new architecturally designed builds, knockdown-rebuilds, and heritage-sensitive renovations, depending on your site and what you’re trying to achieve.
Can I do a knockdown rebuild on a Beaumaris block?
In many cases, yes non-heritage homes in Beaumaris are generally suited to a knockdown rebuild. Most of the suburb sits within the Neighbourhood Residential Zone, which typically limits new builds to two storeys and 9 metres in height, a scale that works well for most family home designs. If your existing home is heritage-listed, we’ll talk through whether a substantial renovation or a more considered rebuild makes better sense for your site.
Are there tree protection rules I should know about before I build?
Yes. Beyond the Heritage Overlay, a Vegetation Protection Overlay (VPO3) covers Beaumaris and protects native vegetation, including Moonah woodland and other indigenous trees removing or lopping protected vegetation generally needs a permit. A separate Bayside local law also protects any tree with a trunk circumference of 155cm or more, suburb-wide. We factor tree retention into the design from day one rather than treating it as an afterthought.
What should I know about building on a coastal block in Beaumaris?
Beaumaris sites often sit on sandy coastal soils and are exposed to salt air off the bay, both of which affect footing design, drainage, and material selection. We design for the site you actually have not a generic specification and select materials suited to coastal conditions so the finished home holds up over time.
Do I need my own architect, or can Pascon provide one?
Either works. If you already have architectural plans, we build them. If not, we collaborate with our network of trusted architects to develop a design around your brief, your block, and Beaumaris’s heritage and vegetation requirements.
How long does a custom build take in Beaumaris?
Most custom home builds take 12–18 months from design approval to handover, though heritage overlays or challenging coastal sites can extend this. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the design phase, once we understand your specific block. See our custom homes Melbourne page for more on our general build timeframes.
