NCC 2025 is now live in Victoria.
From today, Victorian projects move into the next edition of the National Construction Code, bringing a range of updates that will shape design, documentation and approvals across the industry.
For project teams, the key focus is not just what has changed, but how those changes apply to timing, transitional arrangements and projects already underway.
At Krneta, we are already working through the practical implications with clients, consultants and builders to help keep projects moving with clear and commercially minded advice.
For projects outside Victoria, adoption timing remains jurisdiction specific, so it is important to confirm the applicable code edition based on location and project status.
If your team is navigating NCC 2025 and would like a practical sounding board, feel free to reach out.

Since joining Krneta in late 2024, Elaine has wasted absolutely no time making herself known in the best possible way. Smart, dependable, switched on, and always calm under pressure, she has quickly become one of those people everyone enjoys working with and everyone’s happy to have on their project.
Elaine has built a strong niche across fitout and refurbishment work, where things move quickly, details matter, and there’s usually a few moving pieces to juggle at once. She takes it all in stride, keeps things organised, and has a way of making the tricky parts feel far less tricky. The kind of operator who gets on with it without needing to make a song and dance about it.
Outside of work, Elaine is just as competitive, particularly when a badminton racquet is involved. With the Corporate Games on the horizon, don’t be surprised if Elaine features prominently in Krneta colours this year. We like our chances.
Elaine brings great energy to the team, and we’re very glad she’s on our side.
Another one at Flinders Lane.
Another tenancy delivered within this heritage building. Working within an existing asset like this always brings a few moving parts, tying into what’s already there, working around the building’s quirks, and making sure everything lands as it should on site.
We’ve now had a hand across multiple fitouts here, supporting different clients and teams, which gives a clear understanding of how the building behaves when it comes to delivery.
Straightforward delivery with solid outcomes on site.

The Hawthorn East Residence is a considered transformation of an established family home, encompassing a comprehensive internal renovation and a carefully resolved new first level addition. Completed in 2025, the project responds to a family stepping into a new chapter of life; one that demanded expanded accommodation without relinquishing the character and warmth that had long defined the existing dwelling.
At the heart of the design, a central stair void reaches deep into the building, drawing natural light through the interior and establishing a sense of vertical continuity between the existing fabric and the new. Heritage features were not merely preserved but reimagined, honoured for their historical resonance while being given renewed purpose within a thoroughly contemporary domestic life.
The project navigated a demanding set of constraints, including heritage overlay requirements and a materials covenant attached to the property, both of which shaped and informed the design process from the outset. Rather than treating these conditions as obstacles to be overcome, each was embraced as an opportunity to refine and strengthen the outcome rather than a limitation to be circumvented. The result is a home of quiet coherence, grounded in its context, respectful of its past, and tailored with precision to the lives of the family it now serves.
PROJECT COMPLETION | Halcyon Evergreen Clubhouse, Clyde
Another great community project across the line.
The Halcyon Evergreen Clubhouse in Clyde is now complete, delivering a premium lifestyle and recreation hub within Stockland’s Evergreen community.
Krneta was pleased to act as Relevant Building Surveyor on the project, working with DC8 Studio and Jardon Group to bring this impressive facility to life.
Designed as the social centre of the community, the clubhouse brings together a wide range of wellness, recreation and social spaces including a swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room, gymnasium, treatment room and hair salon, library and multipurpose rooms, along with pickleball courts, a lawn bowls green and landscaped outdoor areas.
A great outcome for the Evergreen residents and a fantastic example of community focused design.

Kolorer College has officially opened its doors, delivering a major new education facility to Melbourne’s rapidly growing west.
The project comprises a multi-building campus including a three-storey Building A and a two-storey Administration Building, linked by an enclosed bridge connection that forms the central spine of the school. This connection not only unifies the built form but creates a clear, legible movement network for students and staff across the site.
Complementing the learning environments is a standalone Community Hub, designed to operate beyond school hours and support local sporting and community use. This dual-purpose approach ensures the precinct remains active and valuable to the broader Cobblebank community well outside the school day.
From early coordination through to completion, the delivery of the campus reflects a strong focus on buildability, compliance and long-term functionality, with spaces designed to evolve alongside future enrolment growth.
Krneta are proud to have supported the realisation of this important piece of community infrastructure and congratulate the wider project team on bringing the vision to life.

Great to see Hydro Tasmania’s Melbourne workplace on Collins Street come to life following last year’s handover.
Krneta Building Surveyors acted as Relevant Building Surveyor for the delivery of this project, continuing our involvement across numerous fitouts within the building over time. Having supported multiple tenancies here, we’ve developed a strong familiarity with the asset and value the ongoing relationship with GPT as building owner.
The project comprises just under 2,000 sqm of contemporary office space designed to support flexible, activity based working, complemented by an uplift to the Level 9 external terrace. Positioned to the south of the building, the terrace is set up to capture impressive views across the Yarra River corridor and toward Crown, adding a strong connection to the surrounding cityscape.
Working alongside the broader consultant and delivery team, including Hot Black and Amicus, it is always rewarding to help deliver another considered workplace outcome within a building we know so well.

Taking shape in Yarraville.
Three double storey townhouses rising on a prominent corner site, each designed with a private roof terrace offering 360-degree views, including outlooks to the Melbourne CBD.
Currently at frame stage. Completion renders show the direction this project is heading.

CONO Warehaus | Delivered and ready for take-off.
This warehouse development in Coburg North is now complete, adding modern industrial and commercial spaces to a fast-growing northern corridor. Our role spanned early compliance advice through to final inspections, helping drive a smooth and coordinated delivery.

2026 is well and truly in motion, with projects shifting from early coordination into active construction and on-site delivery. As the year gains pace, we’re continuing to work alongside architects, builders and consultants to help move projects forward with clarity, confidence and compliance.
A big shout-out to the builders and project teams who used the holiday and school break window to keep sites progressing. That quieter period often provides the perfect opportunity to carry out key works, inspections and upgrades, setting a strong foundation for the months ahead.
Some of the best examples of this can be seen across our school projects, where holiday works help prepare learning spaces for the new school year. Many of these upgrades focus on accessibility and inclusion, often tailored to support students with additional needs and help create environments that work for everyone.
We’re geared up and ready for what 2026 brings.

A big year of projects with plenty of variety and pace. From concept reviews to occupancy permits, these are the jobs that drove our momentum right through 2025.

HoMie opens at Emporium Melbourne
Yesterday we joined the HoMie team to celebrate the opening of their new tenancy at Emporium Melbourne. This is HoMie’s second retail space following their Fitzroy store and another step in growing their social impact through retail.
HoMie exists to support young people affected by homelessness and hardship through real pathways into employment, training and education. Their impact is genuine, practical and life changing. That is something we are proud to stand behind.
At Krneta, we believe building surveying can do more than sign off documents. It can remove barriers, enable progress and help get important community projects over the line. We were proud to support HoMie through the approvals process to bring this tenancy to life. With all works complete and certified, the Certificate of Final Inspection was issued yesterday to enable opening today.
Good people building something meaningful deserves support. If you are in the city and need new apparel, swing past HoMie at Emporium. Every purchase backs a young person who just needs a chance.
