Construction Management — Melbourne

Small builds, run properly, by someone who's held the tools

VDMBIM manages small residential construction projects — decks, pergolas and similar builds — with the same discipline and coordination we bring to BIM and design work.

What we do

Construction management & small residential builds

Right now VDMBIM's construction offering covers two things well, rather than everything half-way: managing small builds end to end, and building outdoor structures like decks and pergolas.

01

Construction Project Management

Day-to-day oversight of a small build — trades, scheduling and quality checked against the drawings and the budget.

02

Decks

Timber and composite decks designed and built to suit the site, the levels and how the space will actually be used.

03

Pergolas & Outdoor Structures

Freestanding and house-attached pergolas, sized and detailed to work with the existing roofline and boundaries.

04

Site Supervision & Trade Coordination

Subcontractors scheduled and checked on site, so work happens in the right order and to the right standard.

05

Quoting & Scheduling

Clear, itemised quotes and realistic programmes before work starts — no surprises partway through the job.

06

Permit & Compliance Guidance

Advice on what does and doesn't need a permit for small structures, and coordination with certifiers where it does.

Current scope: for now, VDMBIM's construction services are focused on construction management and small residential jobs — decks, pergolas and similar structures. Larger new-build or major renovation construction is handled through our Building Design service instead. Get in touch if you're not sure which fits your project.

How it runs

From site visit to handover

1

Site Visit & Scope

Site measure and a clear scope of works before any pricing is put together.

2

Design & Quote

Layout confirmed and an itemised quote provided, so you know what you're agreeing to.

3

Permits & Approvals

Any required permits or approvals sorted before construction starts on site.

4

Construction & Supervision

Build managed on site day to day, with trades scheduled and quality checked as it goes.

5

Handover & Sign-off

Final walkthrough, any defects closed out, and the finished job handed over.

Why VDMBIM

Managed by someone who's built things, not just drawn them

Jad Newman's background started in cabinet making and carpentry before moving into building design and BIM. That means a small construction job gets managed with genuine trade knowledge of how it actually goes together on site — not just from behind a desk.

  • 22+ years across the Australian construction industry, from hands-on trades to project oversight.
  • Direct experience with decks, pergolas and small residential structures, start to finish.
  • Melbourne-based, with local site conditions and council requirements factored in from the quote.
  • One point of contact throughout — the person who quotes the job is the person managing it on site.
