AREAS WE SERVICE
At Lilac Constructions, we work with homeowners across Melbourne's most established suburbs, the places where people have invested in their community and want a home that reflects that.

Our projects are concentrated in Melbourne's eastern and bayside suburbs, where we know the streets, the councils, and the character of each neighbourhood intimately.

If you're in Brighton, Hampton or Sandringham, looking out over the bay and imagining something better. In Kew, Hawthorn, Camberwell or Canterbury, where character homes sit alongside some of Melbourne's finest streets. In Malvern or Balwyn, where school catchments and lifestyle come together. Or further east in Ivanhoe, Doncaster, Templestowe or Warrandyte, where space meets proximity.

We also work across Richmond, Fitzroy, Brunswick and Northcote, suburbs where design-forward homeowners are reimagining what their homes can be.

We don't try to be everywhere. We choose to be exceptional where we are.
Our story
YEAR
OVERVIEW
2009
Born from the vision of Director Zac Porter, Lilac began with his early fascination in construction while watching his parents build their home. Wanting to fully understand the complexity of the process, Zac chose to begin his career as a carpenter. During those years, he developed a passion for working onsite, solving problems through project management, and turning ideas into reality. This drive set him on the path to becoming a builder, dedicated to guiding people through the construction process and creating homes that reflect each client’s unique vision and lifestyle.
2025
Our team is at the heart of everything we do, because when people care about what they’re building, it delivers the best outcomes for our clients. We are as excited for the future as we were when our journey began, driven by the desire to create truly memorable spaces that support each client’s vision — from design and management through to construction.
