Who we are
Built on trust. Delivered with care.
Lykee Construction delivers commercial, aged care, healthcare, refurbishment and premium residential projects across Victoria. Our directors have spent their careers on this work and remain hands-on across every job.
We work as an extension of your team, your architect and your consultants — with transparent pricing, early warnings and advice you can act on.
Project range spans $500k tenancy fitouts to multi-stage aged care refurbishments, with the same director involvement on each one.
Most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals, which only happens when you keep your word and keep the program moving.
