At Sherbrooke Design and Construction, we have been designing and building luxury custom extensions, renovations and new homes in inner Melbourne since 1990. We understand that as one of the most significant investments you will ever make, a new home, renovation or extension is too important to be chosen from a catalogue. We all inhabit our homes in our own way, and you deserve an individualised design approach to live your best life.
We work with you step by step to custom design a unique and functional home to suit your needs and lifestyle.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS LOVE ABOUT WORKING WITH SHERBROOKE
We engaged Sherbrooke’s design team in 2022 and we had a specific brief in mind. From the very beginning their professionalism, care and listening to our brief was second to none. The team from the top down, are highly professional and experienced and they have built the luxury home we always wanted. Highly recommend the team for your next project!
Melanie nSt Kilda
We used Sherbrooke to renovate our house. They were incredibly professional and completed the job a month early. The standard of the finishes was outstanding. We were so pleased with them that we are currently planning another renovation with them!

We had our extension finished exactly a year ago. Today I had a visit from Sherbrooke for their one year warranty check. They asked me to find what needed fixing and let me say that it was harder than I thought. That shows their workmanship and confidence on their own work. The whole project was delivered on time and budget, and I’d highly recommend Sherbrooke for your project.
What Makes Sherbrooke’s Design-and-Construct Process Different from Other Melbourne Luxury Builders?
At Sherbrooke, we offer a fully integrated design-and-construct process, meaning your entire project is managed under one roof from start to finish.
With our Luxe offering, we also partner with expert architects and will guide you through planning, approvals, and budgeting – maintaining complete transparency along the way. This makes for a seamless and stress-free experience for you so you can relax knowing the process is taken care of.
How Does Sherbrooke Create a Truly Custom Home that’s Designed Around How I Live?
When it comes to designing your dream home, it’s your lifestyle that drives the design. What you want and how your day-to-day life can be improved through considered design is key to the process. Whether you’re working with a sloping block, heritage façade, or a growing family, we deliver clever site-specific solutions that don’t compromise on comfort or style. We ensure your home isn’t just unique – it’s uniquely yours.
What is Luxe by Sherbrooke, and How is it Different from Sherbrooke’s Traditional Design-and-Build Service?
At Sherbrooke, we’re committed to helping people build their dream home or upgrade their current home until it hits the perfect functional and aesthetic level they’re seeking. We’re premium home builders and believe in crafting a home that matches practicality with iconic designs.
With our traditional custom home builds, we coordinate and work directly with you to land on a home design that matches your idealised style while ensuring it is functional.
With Luxe by Sherbrooke, we take this process to the next level. By collaborating with the team at LSA Architects, you’ll be able to have your home designed by an expert architect and constructed by our exceptional Sherbrooke team. This means additional design flourishes and iconic styles matched with practical construction, resulting in an even more luxury-feeling end product.
Whether you opt for our traditional custom home builds or a Luxe option with additional architectural stylings, you’ll be getting a beautiful end product either way. Our Luxe offering brings extra gravitas to the work and is a great option if you’re seeking additional bespoke design notes.
Can Sherbrooke Assist with Heritage Overlays, Town Planning, and Permits for Complex Sites?
Yes, we can!
We don’t just assist with these areas, we take care of them for you. Our talented team, led by our founders Graham and Robert, are well-versed in providing renovation and extension services for homes that require heritage overlay planning. We know what can and can’t be done with such homes, ensuring we can modernise your home for contemporary comfort while maintaining and respecting the key features that make the home one of heritage significance.
This also applies to any other relevant town planning and construction permits for your home, whether it’s of heritage significance or not. Rest assured that, when you engage with Sherbrooke, we not only handle the build, but all of the logistical considerations, as well.
What’s Included in Sherbrooke’s ‘Sherbrooke for Life’ Aftercare Program and How Does it Benefit Me Long-Term?
Our Sherbrooke for Life program is just one of the ways in which we stand out from many other companies within the residential construction space. In this industry, all construction companies are required to perform a 3-month warranty review to ensure the build is free of issues.
At Sherbrooke, we extend our after-build care by also providing a complimentary 6-week and 12-month warranty review. We stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of our work, and we want you to have that same confidence.
Along with our additional warranty reviews, you will also have access to our Online Communications Portal, which remains active after the build. This portal can be used to place any warranty or maintenance requests with our team.
The Sherbrooke for Life program offers you the peace of mind of knowing we can assist you long after the completion of your project.
Is Extending My Existing Home a Smarter Choice than Selling and Moving in Today’s Market?
It’s no secret that the housing market in Melbourne and throughout Australia is going through a lot of flux, with rising house prices and uncertainty impacting most of us, regardless of income.
So, extending your existing home is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment to pursue. You can unlock the full potential of your current property without having to sacrifice the neighbourhood, local community, school zones, or lifestyle that you love.
Not only that, but a well-executed extension can add significant value to your home, which could give you an extra edge down the line should you absolutely need to downsize or move for other reasons. It also means your home will be transformed to more closely match your needs, whether you have a growing family that requires more space or you want a more modernised layout.
Can Sherbrooke Bring a Specific Architectural Style – like Hamptons, Minimalist, or Contemporary – to Life in My Renovation?
Yes, we can. Whether it’s a renovation, extension or brand new custom build, we can capture the style you’re looking for, from classic and contemporary flourishes, minimalist design notes, or other styles such as Hamptons home builds and California bungalows.
Do I Need to Have Architectural Plans Ready Before Starting a Custom Home with Sherbrooke or Luxe by Sherbrooke?
While having some plans or ideas can certainly help expedite the initial steps of the process, Sherbrooke Design and Construction can assist you with putting together architectural plans if you’re still working out what it is you want.
With Luxe by Sherbrooke, you benefit from the expertise of qualified architects and construction professionals throughout every step of the process. For our Luxe offering, we work with LSA Architects to design and build your dream home with extra luxurious notes.
