The M.M Construction Way: Exactly What to Expect When You Build With Us
A look inside The M.M Construction Way, our free guide to how M.M Constructions runs a build from first meeting to final handover. Download it before you start your project.
Every client asks some version of the same question early on: "What's it actually going to be like working with you?"
It's a fair question, and one the building industry doesn't always answer well. So we wrote it down. The M.M Construction Way is a free guide that walks through exactly how we run a job, from the moment your contract is signed through to the day we hand you the keys, and it's now available to download.
Why We Put This Together
Building or renovating is a big decision, and right now more than ever, people want to know who they're trusting with it. Rather than ask you to take our word for it, we'd rather show you the process itself: who's on your job, how often you'll hear from us, how payments and variations are handled, and what happens if something needs fixing after you've moved in.
It doesn't matter whether your project started as a Fee Proposal, a Design & Build package, or through our Build Consultancy service. Once we're on site, every job runs the same way, and this guide is that way, start to finish.
What's Inside
The guide is broken into thirteen short chapters, covering:
Your team. Who's actually on your job, including your dedicated Site Supervisor and Mick's hands-on oversight as Project Manager.
Site establishment and safety. How we set up a site properly before any trade sets foot on it, and how we keep it safe and considerate of your neighbours throughout.
Selections. How we keep decisions on schedule using our in-office selection space and a calendar tied to your build program.
Communication. Our fortnightly written progress updates and site meetings every three weeks, so you're never left wondering how things are going.
Trades and sequencing. Why the build follows a strict order, and how we keep materials and trades booked well ahead of schedule.
Payments. The standard staged payment schedule under Victorian domestic building law, explained plainly.
Variations. How changes to scope are quoted, approved in writing, and tracked, before any work proceeds.
Quality control. Why we check every stage of the build, not just the ones the building surveyor is required to inspect.
Handover and defects. What happens on handover day, and how our 90-day defects period and 12-month structural check-in work.
Built on a Process, Not a Promise
Quality, timeframes and budget aren't things we talk about after a job goes wrong. They're built into the process itself, the same process every one of our clients goes through, and the same one we've refined over twenty years of building across Melbourne's north and north-west.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this apply to renovations and extensions, or just new homes? All of them. Whether you've engaged us for a custom new build, a knockdown rebuild, or a period home renovation and extension, the process in this guide is exactly what you'll experience.
Is this the same as a building contract? No. The M.M Construction Way is a plain-English guide to our process, not a legal document. Your building contract and its terms remain the formal agreement between us.
How is this different from your Pre-Construction Guide? The Pre-Construction Guide covers the lead-up to your build, from your first meeting with us through to signing a contract. The M.M Construction Way picks up from there and covers the build itself, right through to handover and beyond.
