Approach
Solve the hard parts before construction starts
The best time to solve a building problem is before work begins. We review the design, budget, buildability and programme early, so there are fewer surprises once the project is on site.

Why Camden
Why clients choose Camden
Work directly with Steve
Steve is involved from the first meeting to final handover. You always know who is responsible and who to call.
Builder and developer experience
Camden has built for clients and completed its own developments since 1999. We understand both the construction and commercial sides of a project.
Practical solutions
When something cannot be built as drawn, we work with the architect to find a practical solution without losing the design intent.
A clear programme
We agree on the programme before work starts and give you clear progress updates. Taking on only a few projects at a time helps us keep our commitments.

The builder
Steve Thomopoulos
Steve has worked in construction since 1995 and founded Camden Developments in 1999. He remains directly involved in every project.
Camden works across Melbourne's south east, the eastern suburbs and the Mornington Peninsula. We take on only a small number of projects each year so each one receives proper attention.
