luxury home builders, melbourne
a deliberate limit
opus formed accepts only a few projects at a time, so the directors can oversee every detail of every residence themselves.
the team that resolves the design is the team that builds it; nothing is re-learned on site.
you deal directly with the people responsible for your home, from the first conversation to handover.
measured in the detail
stone, timber and joinery resolved to the millimetre; heritage fabric restored where it can be saved and replicated faithfully where it cannot.
materials are sampled and selections made together, so the finished residence is the one you chose.
what is documented to the millimetre is built to the millimetre.

questions
what makes opus formed a boutique builder?
a deliberate limit on the number of residences at a time, with every one personally overseen by its directors.
do you restore and extend heritage homes?
yes. residences delivered by our directors include a 1940s house under a heritage overlay in caulfield north and a heritage-listed house in middle park.
can you work with my architect?
yes. through appointed delivery, opus formed builds a design already in hand, as drawn.
how do we start?
with the concept service, or, if you already have drawings, a conversation about appointed delivery.
begin with a concept
