Why Choose Ambrose

A Local Builder Who Knows Monash Homes

Monash is a council in transition. Postwar weatherboard and brick veneer through Oakleigh, Clayton and parts of Mulgrave, established 1970s and 1980s homes across Mt Waverley and Wheelers Hill, and a steady wave of contemporary rebuilds especially through Glen Waverley. Each one renovates differently and we adjust the approach to suit the home.

A lot of the renovation work in Monash is about deciding whether to upgrade the existing home properly or, in cases where the home is too compromised, working with the owners on a complete refit. Outdoor builds tend to follow the upgrade. Modern alfresco zones, decks and integrated outdoor kitchens to match the new internal spaces.

You deal directly with a licensed builder from the first conversation through to handover. No middlemen, no chasing trades, and someone on the job who actually answers the phone.

  • Rachel D

    I have hired Ambrose Building Group on two occasions to demolish and build decks. The team was always responsive, friendly, stuck to timeframes and delivered quality work. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Murphy and his team again.

    Murphy and the team renovated our house - new floors; fence; plastering; doors and skirting boards. The quality of the finish is exceptional and they are a great bunch of people. Would highly recommend anyone undertaking building works to get in touch. Hope to use them again in future.

  • Bree C

    Murphy was incredibly patient and dealt with my 'Nervous Nelly' tendencies so well. Nothing was too much trouble. I absolutely LOVED my new bathroom so much we ended up increasing the scope to include a few minor changes to the kitchen and lighting fixtures throughout the apartment also.

Building & Renovating Across Monash

Outdoor Entertainment Areas In Monash

Outdoor work in Monash splits into two camps. New contemporary builds across Glen Waverley and Wheelers Hill where the brief is a fully integrated alfresco zone designed alongside the home, and established postwar properties where the existing yard has been underused for decades and the upgrade transforms the way the family lives.

Mt Waverley and Mulgrave homes typically have generous backyards that easily accommodate a covered alfresco zone with an outdoor kitchen. Tighter Oakleigh and Clayton blocks reward smarter design that gets the most out of available space without making the area feel cramped.

Pool Houses In Monash

The bigger blocks in Wheelers Hill, Mulgrave and parts of Mt Waverley are where most pool house projects in Monash come from. The pool sits clear of the house and there's actually room to do a standalone pool house properly with covered seating, a change room, a bathroom and storage.

The build needs to match the existing home so the entire backyard reads as one cohesive outdoor living space, not a flatpack stuck next to the pool.

Luxury Renovations In Monash

A huge proportion of Monash housing stock is postwar through to early 1990s. Original kitchens, dated bathrooms, layouts that worked in 1975 and don't work now. Outdoor areas tacked on at some point that have never quite functioned. The bones are typically excellent and the renovation pays back many times over in livability and value.

Most renovation jobs in Monash start with the kitchen and main bathroom and expand from there. Knocking through to open up the living areas, adding a butler's pantry, redoing the laundry, upgrading ensuites. Glen Waverley sees more knockdown rebuild activity than other parts of the council, but a careful renovation is often a better answer if the house has good bones.

Asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We work across the City of Monash, including Glen Waverley, Mt Waverley, Wheelers Hill, Mulgrave, Notting Hill, Clayton, Oakleigh, Oakleigh East, Oakleigh South, Hughesdale, Huntingdale, Chadstone and Ashwood. Mitcham keeps us close enough to manage Monash projects properly.

  • Yes. A lot of our Monash work is on postwar and 1970s through 1990s homes that have great bones but need an internal overhaul to suit modern living. Kitchens, bathrooms, layout changes, opening up rear living areas. The result lives like a new build but keeps the warmth and character of the original.

  • Some decks, pergolas and pool houses need a building permit depending on size, height and where they sit on the block. We check the requirements for your specific property during the site inspection and handle the permit process if one is required.

  • Cost depends entirely on the scope, materials and the condition of what's already there. We organise a site visit, discuss exactly what you want and provide a clear, itemised quote so there are no surprises.

  • Yes. Ambrose Building Group is a fully licensed registered builder with all required insurances. You're dealing directly with the licensed builder, not a project manager who hands the job to subcontractors and disappears.

  • Our focus is full outdoor builds and full renovations rather than handyman work. If you're planning a complete project, even a single-room renovation done properly, we're a good fit. For smaller maintenance jobs you'd be better served by a local handyman.
