Stick House is a discreet renovation in the beautiful suburb of Montmorency. We were eager to address and utilise a generous garden setback perfectly suited for entertaining. The existing layout of the home failed to integrate a connection between this beautiful front garden and the internal living spaces.
A full re-configuration of the existing internal layout pushed the sleeping quarters to the first floor and the open plan living, kitchen & dining downstairs opening up to a generous paved external alfresco dining and entertaining area. A sizeable section of the existing first floor space was removed to allow a double height void which accentuated the existing cathedral ceiling to the first floor.
This sense of space upon entry compensated for the existing lower ceilings to the kitchen and dining spaces. An amazing Vic Ash timber screen lines the edges of this void, consolidating the ground and first floor spaces. A mezzanine home office and second living space to the first floor takes full advantage of treetop views and morning sunlight.

We are very thankful to Nathan and Joel for turning our ideas into a beautiful home, supporting and guiding us through all the stages from design to moving in. Joel turned our rough sketches into our forever home, suggesting options, listening and coming back to us with ideas to fit our goals so that we have an amazing home utilising rammed earth, timber, galvanised iron and stonework. Nathan and Joel took on our goal to have a sustainable home that would be low maintenance in the future.
Nathan led a great construction team and managed all the trades in a very difficult environment as we built

The CNC team were fantastic to deal with from the earliest of early conversations right through to handover. Our demo and build was challenging in that there were heritage considerations and we couldn't have been happier with the result. You can't even tell the pristine heritage exterior is even a new build! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend CNC for all building needs!

We have been thoroughly impressed with CNC during our build from start to finish. From our initial approach, the team were professional, insightful and honest which made working with them easy. As it was our first ever build, we were looking for a company that could assist us with their knowledge whilst being respectful of our own wants and design requirements. Joel's 3D design of the build was an invaluable tool, as we were able to see a virtual image inside and out of the finished product which helped us immensely. Nothing was too much trouble and they were willing to accommodate our

After years of hearing friends and acquaintances tell nightmare stories of their building processes... I have none to share after completion of our family home in Bellfield by CNC Constructions. They took our designs and made the build far greater than I could have even imagined it in my mind. A knock-down rebuild completed inside 9 months is really an outstanding result.
To echo the sentiments of previous reviews, Joel, Nathan and Richard are extremely CUSTOMER FOCUSED assisting us with their knowledge whilst being respectful of our own priorities and design requirements.

Upon meeting Joel and Nathan from CNC we were very confident they were the right people for our first 3 Townhouse development in Watsonia.
Joel is an excellent Designer and so easy to deal with. On the build side Nathan and his team were so professional producing high quality workmanship with great attention to finish detail by Richard.
We would certainly use CNC again and highly recommend them.
Thanks CNC for such an easy and pleasurable building experience.

We can not thank Joel, Nathan, Richard and the rest of the CNC team enough for their professionalism and attention to detail whilst building our amazing new family home. They were extremely approachable and prompt in all communications whilst consistently meeting all timeframes and stages. Nothing was ever too hard, and their ideas were always thoughtful, client focused and budget conscious. The end result was a beautiful and functional family home with high end finishes. CNC are not just highly skilled at what they do but they are also great people and we would highly recommend them to everybody

I have been thrilled with the work of Joel, Richard and Nathan at CNC Constructions. The attention to detail has been excellent from the initial quote to the finish of the build. They took pride in their work and often gave us great suggestions. I have always felt able to discuss any concerns I had and every attempt has been made to solve any problems efficiently and to our satisfaction. I love my light-filled small house that I would describe as 'classy'. I would also describe the building team that way - classy and friendly as well.

From the first interaction with Nathan and Joel from CNC, we knew they were the right company for our project. This was our first investment development that we had embarked on and CNC were professional in their approach and attitude towards the build. The updates throughout the project were timely and we were always consulted in the final decisions at hand. The finishing product was exceptional! Great company to work with and they delivered in every aspect, a quality home. Thanks for your support in making this a reality for us, couldn’t have chosen a better company to work with
