Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky have almost finished construction of their Byron Bay 'mega-mansion', which has been a work in progress for the past three years.

And speaking to News.com.au on Wednesday, the Avengers: Endgame star joked that the pair had managed to 'survive' the ambitious project without breaking up.

Chris claimed that while many couples are pushed to breaking point by extensive home renovations, he and Elsa have managed to make things work.

Chris and Elsa's sprawling property boasts a 50-metre rooftop infinity pool and spa, as well as six bedrooms and spectacular views of Seven Mile Beach.

They've had to endure pushback from angry neighbours as well as questions about the project's 'environmental footprint', but are now almost ready to move in.

Joking about their challenging journey, Chris said: 'I think the vast majority of divorces happen during the process of building a house, so I'm thankful we've survived that!'

The couple are set to move into their new home with their three children: daughter India Rose and twin sons Sasha and Tristan.

Chris and Elsa tied the knot in Bali in 2010, the same year they first began dating.

It's been nine years since their wedding day and Chris said they have 'done pretty well to still be trucking along quite nicely'.

It comes after the genetically-blessed pair launched a fitness app together, Centr.

The app features meal plans and daily workouts, and subscribes even have access to health advice from Chris himself.

The Thor star told The Hollywood Reporter that he developed Centr because wanted to share everything he's learned about fitness during his years in Hollywood.
