As an architect focused on high-end residential design, I value attention to detail and quality above all else. Dmitri Grayson demonstrated a clear commitment to both while managing the construction of a two-storey home we designed. He was open, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the project.

29 Unit Apartment Building Refurbishment in South Yarra
attentive to detail, available and responsive and very easy to work with
Dmitri Grayson, of DMI Build, is someone I am very happy to recommend to others seeking a builder.He completed refurbishment works for one of my Owners Corporation clients – an occupied 29 unit apartment building in South Yarra. Owners Corporations have their special challenges and I believe the Owners, Dmitri and myself walked away from a job that ended very well.Dmitri was professional at all times and his company lived up to its name with our project delivered both on time and budget. He is attentive to detail, available and responsive and very easy to work with. He also proposed more economical solutions that did not compromise the design and was very honest passing the savings along to the owners.I would be happy to work with him again.

Extension and renovation in Glen Iris
completely transparent, honest and very helpful
DMI Build was the selected builder for our Glen Iris Project – an extensive renovation and addition, which presented a number of complexities.During the tendering process, we found Dmitri to be completely transparent, honest and very helpful. Prior to signing contracts, he worked with us to meet the project budget and made a number of suggestions of areas we can look into alternatives to make necessary savings.The project was a complex and detailed addition, which required a high level attention to detail and experience. From the beginning, Dmitri exceeded our expectations with a willingness to go above and beyond to make sure of the best outcomes were achieved through all stages of the project. Dmitri displayed a thorough knowledge of construction techniques, building codes and Australian Standards.Above all else, the project was complete on time and on budget, despite a number of contract variations along the way.Dmitri will be a preferred builder in the future and I can comfortably recommend DMI Build for any project, irrespective of complexities.

House Extensions in Melbourne South and Kew East
very competent, solutions-focused approach
We’ve worked with Dmitri on several domestic projects over the years, including additions and alterations to a property in South Melbourne and a more recent extension in Kew East.On both projects, Dmitri acted as the construction manager and our main point of contact throughout. He attended site meetings, managed project documentation, followed through on architect instructions, and handled progress claims and variations professionally and efficiently.Across both builds, Dmitri demonstrated a deep understanding of construction processes, clear communication and a calm, solutions-focused approach to on-site coordination and technical queries. His ability to manage details without fuss made the process smoother and more reliable.I would confidently recommend him for future building and construction projects.
