Alternative Construction
Building homes people are proud to live in.
Go beyond the ordinary.
Decades of combined experience. A close-knit team. Alt Construction delivers high-end residential projects across Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, turning the idea of "home" into something extraordinary.
Our founder, Richard, started as a carpentry apprentice over 40 years ago. He still walks every site. As a family business operating at scale, we combine genuine care and accountability with the capability to deliver complex, high-end projects with confidence.
At Alt., we believe in creating homes that not only reflect a vision, but enhance lifestyles.
Our business is built on long-standing relationships, hands-on leadership, and a deeply embedded team culture. Many within the team have worked together for decades, creating a level of trust, consistency, and shared knowledge that carries through every project. With a strong mix of experience and next-generation expertise, projects are delivered by people who are genuinely invested — not just in the outcome, but in the process, the detail, and the client experience from start to finish.
