A Local Builder Who Knows Whitehorse Homes
Whitehorse is a real mix of housing. Postwar brick veneers through Mitcham and Vermont, period homes around Box Hill, Blackburn and Surrey Hills, and newer townhouses where bigger blocks have been redeveloped. Each one renovates differently and we adjust the approach to suit the home.
The older Whitehorse homes are usually the ones that need the most work. Original kitchens and bathrooms, dated layouts, outdoor areas that were tacked on at some point and have never really worked. The good news is they almost always have great bones, and a proper renovation can bring them right up to modern standards without losing the character.
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.

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.

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 Whitehorse
Outdoor Entertainment Areas In Whitehorse
Most Whitehorse backyards have something already there. A tired pergola, an old timber deck that's seen better days, a paved area that gets too hot in summer. The job is usually working out what to keep, what to pull down and how to put together something that finally suits the home.
The leafy streets through Blackburn, Mont Albert and Surrey Hills tend to have established gardens and mature trees, so decks and alfresco spaces need to be planned around what's already there. Newer Vermont South and Box Hill North homes often have larger flat backyards and bigger entertaining briefs, covered alfresco zones, outdoor kitchens, the lot.
Whatever the starting point, every project goes through a proper site inspection so the design suits how you actually use the space.

The bigger blocks in Surrey Hills, Mont Albert, Box Hill South and Vermont South are where most of our pool house work happens, with the room to do it properly. A standalone pool house turns the pool zone into a real outdoor living area instead of a pool with deck chairs around it.
The brief usually includes some combination of covered seating, a change room, a bathroom and somewhere to keep pool equipment out of sight. We design and build them to match the existing house so the whole backyard reads as one cohesive space, not a Bunnings flatpack stuck next to the pool.

A huge proportion of Whitehorse housing stock is 50+ years old. Postwar brick veneers right through Mitcham, Nunawading and Vermont, Edwardian and Federation homes around Box Hill, Blackburn and Mont Albert. The kitchens are tight, the bathrooms are dated and the layouts don't suit how people live now.
Most renovation jobs in Whitehorse start with the kitchen and a main bathroom, then expand out from there. Knocking through to open up the living areas, adding a butler's pantry, redoing the laundry, getting the floors running consistently. Done properly, the result is a home that lives like a new build but keeps the character that drew you to it in the first place.
We handle the whole project through one licensed builder so the trades and timelines actually line up.

Frequently Asked Questions
We cover all of the City of Whitehorse, including Mitcham, Box Hill, Box Hill North, Box Hill South, Blackburn, Blackburn North, Blackburn South, Burwood, Burwood East, Forest Hill, Mont Albert, Mont Albert North, Nunawading, Surrey Hills, Vermont and Vermont South. Our base in Mitcham makes the whole council a short drive.
A kitchen or bathroom alone is typically four to eight weeks. A full internal renovation across the older Whitehorse homes generally runs three to six months depending on the scope. We give you a clear timeline before any work starts so you know what to expect.
Some decks, pergolas and pool houses need a building permit depending on size, height and where they sit on the block. Whitehorse Council has specific rules in heritage and overlay areas, particularly around the older Surrey Hills and Mont Albert streets. We check this 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.
