Extending your building, vertically

We have undertaken several projects where we’ve built several new levels on top of an existing structure. On Little Collins Street we added floors of apartments. On Flemmington Road we added floors of office space and medical suites. In Oliver Lane we’ve added floors of office space. Don’t be limited by your imagination. Talk to us about what’s possible.

Our desire to consistently exceed client expectation underpins our high growth and success rate. Our exceptional team works collaboratively with each of our clients and consultants to consistently achieve superior outcomes. We will work with you to understand your specific needs and deliver on time and budget. Begin a mutually beneficial conversation.

TESTIMONIALS
"Harris HMC were fully engaged and took ownership along with me of the project from day one…they took not just the vision but also the budget to heart and were excellent at coming up with solutions that were both aesthetically and financially successful. Their sourcing of the external louvre product was brilliant…always working very closely with me to share and achieve the vision."
Ross Goodman - General Manager, Publicity Works
"Harris HMC accepted this work on short notice … a series of fast-tracked jobs with extremely tight timeframes. They communicated well, called regular meetings, raised and resolved any issues quickly and got on with the work. The Harris team worked in really well with our other contractors and consultants on often crowded sites. We’re very happy with the workmanship and results … they turned out a gem."
Bob Hallett - Project Works and Capital Development Manager, Australian Catholic University

Luke Flanagan – Project Manager, University of Melbourne
"Communication was great and we’re very pleased with the quality work provided by the Harris HMC team. What impressed us most was their ability to deliver before-time on a tight program. We were so satisfied, we already have them working with us on an additional two jobs."
Bob Douglas - Project Manager, Skilled Group
"Communication, planning, scheduling, organisation and a positive and cheerful ‘can-do’ attitude were key demonstrated qualities in getting the job over the line…When most were thinking that is couldn’t be done, Glen (Harris HMC Project Manager) had every confidence that it could. There was an excellent site team. All contractors and subbies showed the respect to Glen and his site foremen and went the extra mile."
Doug Pattenden - Director, Payne Pattenden Architects
"Thank you very much, you have been a delight to work with, your professionalism and ethic have made this job run very smoothly on schedule and on budget.

Paul Stolz, Kids Under Cover
"Harris HMC provided great suggestions for our latest manager office build and completed works from our last office build that had been outstanding for some time. Their communication with us throughout the works has been exceptional... kept us informed of everything they were planning and doing, which contractors would be onsite and when, ensured the work area was clean in between works, paid attention to detail, reliable and very accommodating... nothing was too much trouble and all completed in great time…providing an exemplary service on all levels."
Jade Quinn - Facility Services Coordinator, Victoria Teachers Mutual Bank
"Harris HMC are a wonderful organisation to work with. They go out of their way to provide a professional, organised, supportive and consultative environment in which to operate and it pays off! We have used Harris across a range of projects including building construction and undertaking building condition audits and they have been amazing. They spend the time to understand the organisation and how it works and this has been so beneficial for the projects we have undertaken. I am delighted to provide this testimonial as they are a pleasure to work with."
