Built on Craft.
Driven by Passion.

Since 2006, we've been turning Melbourne's most extraordinary homes from vision into reality.

18 Years of Building
Melbourne's Finest Homes

Ashlar Homes was founded in 2006 by Marcus Ashford with a single belief: that every family deserves a home that truly reflects who they are. What began as a boutique practice has grown into Melbourne's most trusted name in custom home construction.

Today, our team of 60+ dedicated professionals — architects, designers, project managers, and master craftspeople — share an unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and delivering homes that exceed expectations.

We are proud holders of 12 HIA and MBA awards, and every home we build is underpinned by a 10-year structural warranty and a client satisfaction score of 97%.

Building Your Dream Home
Seamlessly

Our refined four-stage process has been perfected over 18 years to ensure your building journey is smooth, transparent, and ultimately exceeds every expectation.

01

Discovery & Vision

We begin every relationship with an in-depth consultation — understanding your lifestyle, aspirations, budget, and land constraints before a single line is drawn.

02

Design & Planning

Our architects and designers craft bespoke plans that respond directly to your brief. We iterate with you until every detail is exactly right, then manage all council approvals.

03

Construction

Our skilled tradespeople bring your design to life with rigorous quality oversight at every stage. Your dedicated project manager keeps you informed with weekly updates.

04

Handover & Aftercare

We present your completed home with a thorough walkthrough and full documentation. Our 10-year structural warranty and aftercare program ensure lasting peace of mind.
