Our Featured Project-
Sunshine VIC

From concept to construction

This project showcases a real-world residential build located in Sunshine, Victoria, delivered by one of AIDC’s industry partners.

The images on the left illustrate the architectural design and rendered vision, while the images on the right show the project during the structural construction stage, with framing completed and internal plasterwork pending.

This side-by-side comparison highlights the transition from design intent to on-site delivery, demonstrating how residential projects progress through key construction stages in line with Australian building practices.
