Schiavello Group of Companies

What Schiavello Group of Companies does

Schiavello Group of Companies is an Australian private, family-controlled diversified group founded in 1966 and headquartered in Tullamarine, Melbourne. It operates across three core disciplines — property development, construction, and commercial furniture/fit-out — and employs more than 1,300 people. The group has built an international footprint with owned or representative offices across Australia, New Zealand, China, Singapore, the Philippines, South Korea, Hong Kong, the UAE, Oman, and the United States.

The operating model is structured around ten wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning the full commercial interiors value chain: Schiavello Property, Schiavello Construction, Schiavello Furniture, Glassworks (20,000 sqm Dandenong glass manufacturing facility), Heritage Glass, Prima Joinery, Omvivo (bathware), Gioiello Estate, Kertn, and Nura Space. Underlying capabilities include in-house glass and joinery manufacturing, design-led furniture production, construction project delivery, and a Workplace Management Technology product covering desk booking and space management software. The group's most prominent property asset is the M-City Monash mixed-use development, valued at approximately $800 million.

Revenue is generated through three distinct mechanics: property development (capital appreciation and rental income), construction contracts (project-based fees), and furniture/fit-out sales (commercial specification and installation). Customers are predominantly enterprise and institutional, with named clients across financial services (Westpac, ANZ, IAG, UniSuper), resources (Rio Tinto), technology (Cisco, Tesla, Infosys), healthcare (Royal Children's Hospital), education (Monash University, QUT), government and infrastructure (Port of Melbourne, Suez), retail (7-Eleven, Reece), and professional services (BDO, Grant Thornton, JLL, BCG). Design validation includes consecutive NeoCon awards (2025, 2026), Melbourne Design Awards (2017), and Design Institute of Australia Hall of Fame recognition.

Direct peers

• Grocon: Australian family-owned construction and property development group with similar vertically integrated profile and comparable project pipeline of residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments in Australia.

Directly competes for large-scale commercial and mixed-use construction projects, particularly tier-one institutional and government clients in the same geographies Schiavello serves.
• Probuild: Australian commercial construction contractor (entered administration in 2022 but legacy comparable scale) historically competing for the same tier-one commercial, residential, and mixed-use construction projects as Schiavello Construction in Australia.
• Hickory Group: Australian integrated construction and furniture manufacturer (Hickory, MADE Group) operating a vertically integrated model similar to Schiavello's property-construction-furniture structure, with comparable scale and focus on commercial fitouts and built-to-rent developments.
• Built (formerly Boller Group): Australian commercial construction contractor competing directly with Schiavello Construction across commercial fitouts, hospitality, retail, and education sectors with comparable project size range and enterprise client focus.
