We build spaces specific to you. Thoughtful, functional and built to last.
At Nobu Constructions, we believe a home should do more than look good. It should reflect who you are, support the way you live and perform well for generations to come.
As a Melbourne residential builder, we focus on carefully detailed renovations, extensions, retrofits and performance homes that prioritise comfort, durability and occupant health.
OUR STORY
Nobu Constructions was built around a simple belief: good homes should be thoughtful, durable and better to live in.
Our work focuses on residential renovations, extensions, retrofits and performance homes across Melbourne. We bring together careful craftsmanship, clear communication and practical construction knowledge to help create homes that feel comfortable, function well and stand the test of time.
We are especially interested in building practices that support occupant health, material quality, thermal comfort and long-term performance. For us, the details behind the walls matter just as much as the finished spaces people see.
OUR APPROACH
We build with clarity, care and long-term performance in mind.
Design - We get involved early to help refine buildability, materials, budget and performance goals.
Build – We deliver considered construction with clear communication, careful detailing and quality workmanship.
Maintain – Ongoing support to help your home perform as intended.
From early planning to aftercare, we work alongside clients, architects and designers to balance vision with practicality and deliver each project with precision and care.
OUR PROMISE
We are not volume builders. We take on considered residential projects where quality, communication and long-term performance matter.
Our promise is to build with care, clarity and respect for the way your home will be lived in. From the details behind the walls to the finishes you see every day, we focus on creating healthier, more comfortable homes that are made to last.
Director and Registered Builder
| James Murphy
James has a passion for building, one which we he begun his apprenticeship at 16 wasn’t immediately realised. It wasn’t until he was a couple of years out of his time that James really found building was something he wanted to continue with. Suffering from a severe case of OCD James realised his desire to carry out work to an impeccable standard and having a ‘near enough is not good enough’ attitude certainly carried through to his work. James is determined to deliver his client’s a project they can be proud to show their friends and family through. At home James has small family he adores and can often be caught with his Kelpie ‘Maggie’ by his side.

At the ripe age of 3, she has been assisting James and Luca for 2.5 years now and has a brilliant eye for detail. As a valued member of the team, her main duties include sleeping on the job and getting as many pats as possible.
Carpenter | Luca Tully
Luca started with Nobu Constructions back in 2021, from the very beginning he was leaving people in awe of his natural ability on the tools. Coming from a family of tradesman he immediately picked up a lot of the skills to make it in the industry. An incredibly mature 22-year-old, Luca is a true asset to the team and has great communication skills which help keep our trades and clients informed of the project’s happenings.
