HIA 2022 Finalist
Professional small builder/renovator
With over 50 years in the industry, Supa Group has well and truly earned the title of master builder. It’s a great responsibility but a greater joy — we love what we do. Our attention to detail, creative solutions and friendly service are all part of the package.
When you bring on Supa Group, you’ll enjoy our full end-to-end service. We’ll manage every detail, from creating 3D models of your plans to attaining your Darebin Council building permits.
But let’s not rush ahead; let’s start with the basics, so you can tell us what you need.
"Darebin Council sits to the north of Melbourne’s CBD and encompasses the suburbs of Northcote, Fairfield, Alphington, Thornbury, Preston, Reservoir and Kingsbury.
The actual council area is bounded to the east by the Darebin Creek and the west by the Merri Creek, so it is the tale of two creeks. To the South it borders Heidelberg Road, near the Yarra River and the North is the Western Ring Road. As a result of its geography it has heavy clay soil with plenty of rocks floating near the surface. This always makes for interesting times during the digging of Foundations.
A lot of 'early' Melbourne can be found around the suburb of Northcote, where there are several bluestone churches and other buildings constructed from rock quarried in the area, There are several old bluestone shops along the south side of Heidelberg Road which was the main route from Melbourne to Heidelberg in the 1850’s."
"Styles of houses around Northcote, Fairfield and Alphington include late Victorian, Edwardian and Californian Bungalows in abundance. To the north of Darebin Road you start to encounter houses of Art Deco and Austerity styles. Many of the houses around Thornbury, Preston and Reservoir were built post WW2 on decent sized blocks and contain many examples of wonderful cream and clinker brick homes with matching fences.
Reservoir is a large suburb of two parts, the older area to the south was originally part of Preston but was renamed Reservoir due to the existence of the large water tanks along Plenty Road supplied by the Yan Yean Reservoir. The northern part of Reservoir and Kingsbury have houses that were mainly constructed from the 1950’s to the 1970’s. There is an interesting subdivision to the area around Hughes Parade in Reservoir that was planned by Saxil Tuxen, a well know Town Planner.
Over the years Supa Group have built several hundred extensions in this council area, the types of homes contained therein are readily extendable and are worth preserving due to the character they hold."
Nothing stops a project faster than poor paperwork. Fortunately, we’re pretty handy at council permit applications.
Supa Group has had the pleasure of working in and around Darebin in the past. We know the Darebin Council building permit process back to front and clearly understand what’s possible within their boundaries. Let us handle it on your behalf. We’ll get it done right and done quickly so that we can get to building.

Everyone outgrows their home at some point. Maybe your family’s growing, or maybe your lifestyle’s just changing. Either way, to lose a house is to lose the memories within it and the community around it. It’s a shame. But it doesn’t have to be. Supa Group’s extension and renovation services can modify or entirely revitalise your home. We’ll make it perfect. Let’s renovate your Darebin home with an open plan ground floor or adding in a second storey. Whatever your vision, we’ll bring it to life. And we’ll do it with fixed completion dates and timelines, too.
Looking to extend the footprint of your home to give your growing family more room to move? We don’t believe you should have to compromise on where you live to get more room! Our home extensions give you the lifestyle you desire in the home you love.
Just the thought of a home renovation is enough to spark a stress headache. The endless design revisions, contractor hiring, permit applications, ballooning costs and runaway deadlines… it can all get a bit much. But not with Supa Group.
We’ll make the entire process a breeze: refine and perfect your extension ideas with our digital 3D visualiser; kick your feet up while we source the contractors; pick up a book while we apply for your Darebin council permits. Or, be as involved as you like and work with us.

Here are some of our latest projects. We’re pretty proud of our work. Unfortunately, these case studies won’t show you the best part — the faces of our clients when they see their finished new home. Still, we think you’ll see what we’re capable of. If any details catch your eye, bring them up during your free consultation, and we’ll see how we can do something just as good for you.

Our building supervisor Braidon Marshall was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, approachable and accessible when we had a few issues out of hours. We sprung a leak on one rather rainy night, and he came to the rescue after his birthday dinner no less!
Thank you so much for the spectacular job you have done. We are very happy with the outcome and it was an absolute pleasure working with all of you. We appreciate the expertise, honesty and care we received throughout the renovation.
Despite all the stories you hear about how difficult building can be it was a fairly painless process thanks to the professionalism of the Supa Group team and the quality of their people. We even lived in the house throughout the process.
Very happy with our recent renovation with Supa Group. Just like another reviewer, we wasted time and money trying to go through an architect. Supa Group’s design was far superior and more cost-effective.
We were particularly impressed by the job’s completion on time, despite some weather delays.
Thank you for the wonderful extension that Supa Group added to our home. We now have a great indoor/outdoor open plan living space that our family loves spending time together in.
I thoroughly recommend Supa Group as their customer-first policy and workmanship has been of the highest quality.
Yes. Darebin Council has clear rules defining what projects need permits.
Common Darebin home extension and renovation projects that require permits include:
Your Supa Group contracts administrator will always ensure that your project has the right council permissions so that you can enjoy your home in peace.
Of course. We’re happy to collaborate with specialists of your choosing.
We do require them to meet our safety standards and provide the necessary insurance and OH&S credentials.
We will also require them to guarantee that they can meet the deadlines that we have agreed upon with you.
In most cases, you can remain in your home while we work.
You will have to find temporary accommodation if we cannot give you safe access to your kitchen, bedroom or toilet.
We’ll make every effort to reduce the inconvenience and will plan carefully to get you back home as soon as possible.
You certainly can. It does require a comprehensive planning and permissions process, but we can add extensions to heritage-listed Darebin homes. We will work with the Darebin Council to complete this process correctly.
We’ve found the key to doing work on heritage homes is preserving the original structures' integrity. Extensions should be seamless, tasteful and compliment the aesthetics of the existing home.
