This article is designed to help Coburg residents plan a high-quality building project and understand how Havcon Projects manages the process from start to finish.
Coburg and Coburg North are established, well-connected suburbs in Melbourne’s inner north with a population of around 26,574 and a median house price of $1,220,000. The area’s housing stock is dominated by older detached brick and weatherboard dwellings, many built from the late 19th to mid-20th century, making them prime candidates for renovation or extensions. Homeowners continue to invest in their Coburg properties rather than move due to proximity to Sydney Road shopping, the Upfield train line and local parks.
Custom home builds
One-off, architecturally driven homes tailored to the block and family’s lifestyle on vacant lots, knockdown-rebuild sites or subdivided rear lots in Coburg and Coburg North.

Second-storey additions

Frequently asked questions — Builders Coburg
Havcon Projects completes custom builds on vacant lots, full home renovations with internal reconfiguration, two-storey extensions, targeted upgrades such as bathroom renovation, and joint venture development for suitable blocks. The scope varies significantly depending on block size, zoning and existing structure condition.
The process follows structured stages: consultation, concept and feasibility assessment, design and documentation, council approvals, construction, and final inspection and handover. Clear communication about scope and timeline is prioritised at every step with regular progress updates.
Many Coburg homeowners prefer to renovate and extend to keep their location, community connections and children in local schools while transforming their house into a functional home. The area’s period homes and post-war brick houses suit custom builds, extensions and bathroom renovation upgrades.
Many Coburg homes still have small, poorly ventilated bathrooms with outdated layouts. A well-planned renovation improves layout, maximises space, adds storage, upgrades fixtures and waterproofing, and introduces natural light through skylights or windows, dramatically enhancing the feel.
