Renovations

Love your community and your location but you have outgrown your current home? Love the exterior of your home but not the chopped-up floor plan? Beautiful, graceful old homes with no closet space and too few electrical outlets? Need to work from home, but the dark basement, next to the furnace not cutting it? We can work on your old home to new home renovation. Being a new home builder in Melbourne means we have access to all the latest and best in custom home building, let us put it to work for you in your “new” home.

We have worked for years to develop our home building and general contracting skills — let us put those skills to work for you.

Building your custom home can start with the home you already own, we’ll just make it better.

Ric has excellent attention to detail, and his knowledge is second to no one. Excellent communication and kept me informed the during the build. I m very happy with my new home, its everything i could have hoped for. Ric was very accommodating even when i called him multiple times with lots of questions and concerns. Thank you Ric and his team for this amazing home.

      Ric Jelfs saved our dream house! We were left with a partially-assembled house after a previous builder abandoned our project. Ric was able to take over the project smoothly and begin methodically actioning a well thought-out plan to get our build back on track. Our home is on a very challenging block with a steep slope but this has not slowed Ric down at all. After a few months, we have been able to pull our budget back into line and we fully expect to be able to spend Christmas in our new home! Ric is a man of his word, something quite rare in the building industry. He is a great communicator and has wonderful knowledge when it comes to building. He has helped us make some very difficult decisions -- trying to find that perfect balance between saving money and getting everything we want. If you need a builder for a custom home - or any build for that matter - give Ric a call!
      Absolutely Fantastic!
