Alessi Design + Build

What Alessi Design + Build does

Alessi Design + Build is a private Australian design and construction contractor founded in 2004 and based in Camperdown, New South Wales. It serves boutique hospitality, commercial, childcare, healthcare, and high-end residential clients, delivering projects from conception through final handover. Its work includes new builds, fit-outs, refurbishments, heritage adaptive re-use, and construction across Sydney, regional NSW, Victoria, and the Australian Capital Territory.

The firm's technical differentiators include an integrated design-build operating model and the use of Cross Laminated Timber panels and Glue Laminated Timber beams. It describes itself as the designer and builder of the first CLT hotel project in NSW. Notable work includes the 35-room Little Albion Guesthouse, created through adaptive re-use of a 1900s heritage building originally built as a convent, the Elizabeth Street CLT project, and an 85-place childcare project using CLT and Glue Lam beams. The company also provides furniture, fixtures and equipment procurement and supply, including custom hotel fixtures and fittings.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-based contracts covering design, construction, project management, fit-out, refurbishment, and related procurement. Disclosed project values range from $82,000 to $15.2 million, with quote-based pricing and no standard public rate card. The business acquires work through direct client relationships, referrals, project reputation, and earned industry and media coverage; no external funding or parent-company affiliation is disclosed.
