Start a Project
Get in touch via the form below or contact the operations team directly at the email below. Give us a rundown of the project — scope, location, build type, and where you're at in the program. The more detail the better. We respond to every enquiry within 1–2 business days.
We review your plans and put together a detailed, itemised quote. We typically respond to all requests within 1–3 business days, and depending on the size and scope of the job, quotes are generally completed 4–10 days after your initial request. You get a number you can build a budget around.
Once you accept, we confirm the schedule and allocate our crew. You'll know exactly who is on site, when we're mobilising, and what the key milestones look like. We work closely with your site supervisor to protect the program from frame through to fix.
We finish on time, clean, and to spec — every time. Our work holds up to every inspection, and we don't leave site until it's right. Most of our clients work with us across multiple projects. That repeat business is the standard we hold ourselves to.
"XL have been our go-to framing crew across three custom homes. Jye and the team are tight on program, the quality holds up to every inspection, and they flag issues before they become problems. That's rare in this industry."Michael T. Builder, Melbourne
"We engaged XL for a full carpentry package on a high-end custom home — frame, lock-up, fix and fit-off. All delivered on time and without a single defect at handover. Professional from the first call to the last day on site."Sarah K. Project Manager, Custom Residential
"What sets XL apart is their communication. I always know exactly where the project is at. On a tight program they finished two days early. Not common. We'll be using them on every suitable job going forward."David R. Director, Residential Developer
XL Carpentry & Construction was founded by Jye McCormick on a simple belief — that the best builders deserve a carpentry partner they never have to worry about.
Before growing XL, Jye spent two years in site management before stepping into a project management role — overseeing high-end builds from the ground up, coordinating trades, and driving projects through to completion. That experience shaped everything about how XL operates today.
Since establishing XL, Jye and the team have also taken on full construction management for owner builders — guiding private clients through every phase of their build and delivering the kind of outcome that only comes from knowing the process inside and out.
Relationships are at the heart of what we do. The homes we work on will stand for generations. So will the partnerships we build along the way.
Every detail. Seen and unseen.
On program. Every time.
Built to last as long as the homes.
Proudly supporting
We specialise in Melbourne's prestige inner east and bayside suburbs. We take on select projects across Melbourne where we can maintain our full standard of quality and program management — reach out and we'll let you know quickly if your project is a fit.
We specialise exclusively in high-end residential construction — structural framing, lock-up stage carpentry, internal fix, and full carpentry packages from frame through to fit-off. Our clients are Melbourne's leading builders and developers working on custom architectural homes.
We typically respond to all requests within 1–3 business days. Depending on the size and scope of the job, quotes are generally completed anywhere from 4–10 days after your initial request — larger full carpentry packages naturally take a little longer to price accurately.
We work primarily with builders and developers. Our systems are built around working within a construction program — coordinating with site supervisors, meeting inspection milestones, and protecting the schedule. That said, if you're a private client with a high-end project and a genuine commitment to quality, we're always happy to have that conversation.
Lead times vary with our current program. We take on a select number of projects each year to ensure every client receives our full commitment. We recommend getting in touch as early as possible — we often commit several months ahead for larger builds.
