High-end new homes, renovations and extensions across Melbourne. Owner-led from first sketch to handover, and backed by a $20M warranty most builders can't match.
Mid-range home renovations in Melbourne
A mid-range renovation is a focused kitchen, bathroom, deck or single-room upgrade rather than a whole-house rebuild. Lambert York undertakes these smaller scopes for Melbourne homeowners across Bayside, the Inner East, Mornington Peninsula and North West Melbourne. The same building team works to an agreed scope, with Pat handling pricing and David overseeing delivery.
Kitchens, bathrooms, decks and single rooms.
Kitchens
Joinery, stone, appliances and services. Designed to the millimetre, installed in one visit.
Bathrooms
Full strip-out to finished ensuite or family bathroom. Waterproofing certified, tiles you chose.
Decks & outdoor
Hardwood or composite decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens that match the house.
Single-room upgrades
Laundries, studies, master suites and the room you've been meaning to fix for five years.
Two decks. Same look. $18K apart.

Do I need permits for this work in Melbourne?+
