Who we are
About Construct Melbourne
Decade’s of building.
A studio born from experience.
Construct Melbourne is a boutique residential design studio, led by husband-and-wife team Rhyse and Cassandra Mazza. With over twenty years delivering award-winning homes, we’ve now distilled everything we’ve learned into a refined, end-to-end design process — so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a concept that’s truly buildable.
We started Construct Melbourne in 2016 with a simple belief: that building a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Over the years, we’ve designed and delivered dozens of custom homes across Melbourne’s inner suburbs — always with a focus on detail, trust, and beautiful liveability.
Along the way, we noticed a pattern: many clients who had designed homes through traditional channels were struggling. Their plans were beautiful — but unbuildable within their budget. They’d spent tens of thousands and were now at a standstill.
So we created something different.
Our Evolution.
Today, Construct Melbourne operates as a design-only studio, offering Preliminary Design Agreements (PDAs) — a structured, all-inclusive process that takes clients from idea to builder-ready documentation, without the stress, rework, or confusion of traditional models.
We bring together a trusted network of consultants — including architects, engineers, energy assessors and surveyors — under one agreement, coordinated entirely by us. You don’t have to source a team, manage the paperwork, or juggle communications between professionals.
Everything is curated, coordinated, and considered — from the initial layout to council submission.
We start with your budget, not just your vision.
We design with a builder’s insight — after decades delivering award winning homes.
We manage everything — concept, documentation, consultants, permits.
You finish the process with confidence and clarity.
Our backgrounds in construction give us a rare advantage: we understand what’s possible, where the risks lie, and how to design with real-world feasibility in mind. That’s what makes our designs not just beautiful — but buildable.
