Custom Home Design & Construction
Custom Home Builders in Prahran
Searching for custom home builders near me in Prahran? As custom home builders in Prahran, we build on some of Melbourne’s most tightly held blocks Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, and interwar flats, most sitting under a heritage overlay.
Prahran sits about 5 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD, in the City of Stonnington. The suburb is known for Chapel Street’s shopping and dining strip, its mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and pockets of interwar walk-up flats.
Much of Prahran carries a Heritage Overlay. Council has been actively reviewing and updating it in recent years, so even a familiar-looking block can carry new or updated protections.
What's Changing
Heritage Overlays in Prahran
Stonnington Council is currently running the Prahran and Windsor Heritage Review (Amendment C331ston), updating heritage information across both suburbs.
If your property carries a Heritage Overlay, you’ll generally need a planning permit for a new building, an addition, or any external alteration.
We check your property’s heritage status and grading against Stonnington’s planning scheme before any design work starts.

Prahran Home Building FAQs
Are there custom home builders near me in Prahran?
Yes. Pascon builds directly in Prahran and the surrounding Stonnington suburbs, with projects managed locally from site visit to handover.
Do I need a heritage permit to renovate in Prahran?
Most likely, yes. Much of Prahran sits under a Heritage Overlay, so external alterations, additions, and new builds generally need a planning permit from Stonnington Council.
Can I build on a narrow block in Prahran?
Yes. Narrow, boundary-to-boundary blocks are common in Prahran. We design around shared walls, tight frontages, and limited site access as standard practice, not a special case.
Is a renovation or a knockdown rebuild better for a heritage property?
Heritage-listed homes are usually better suited to a sympathetic renovation or rear extension. Non-heritage sites have more flexibility for a full knockdown rebuild.
How long does a custom build take in Prahran?
Most custom builds take 12–18 months from design approval to handover. Heritage-affected sites can add time at the permit stage. See custom homes Melbourne for more on our general build process.
