Licensed builders for home renovations, extensions and new builds in western Melbourne
A home renovation in Melbourne's west is a big investment. Whether you are knocking out a wall, adding a second storey, or building a granny flat, the builder you choose determines whether the project runs smoothly or turns into a nightmare. The gap between a good builder and a bad one shows up in the budget, the timeline, and the quality of the finish.
We looked at Google reviews, Victorian Building Authority registrations, and local recommendations to find seven builders based in the Sunshine and Brimbank area. These are not the cheapest. They are the ones with runs on the board.
Based in: Delahey
Google: 5.0 stars (9 reviews)
Artisan Professional Building Services has a perfect 5-star Google rating. Based in Delahey, they cover the full Brimbank area including Taylors Lakes, Sydenham, and Sunshine. The name signals their positioning: quality craftsmanship rather than volume production.
Nine reviews is a small sample, but every one is five stars. For a builder, that consistency matters. Reviews mention clean work sites, clear communication, and projects finished on time. Renovations, extensions, and new builds are all on the service list.
Based in: Sunshine North
Google: 5.0 stars
AJ Building is based in Sunshine North, which makes them one of the closest builders to the core Sunshine suburbs. The "restoration" in the name is relevant. Sunshine has many older homes from the 1950s and 60s that need careful renovation work to preserve their character while updating for modern living.
If you own a weatherboard or a postwar brick home in Sunshine and want to renovate without losing the original feel, a builder who understands restoration is worth the premium.
Based in: Tullamarine
Google: 5.0 stars (3 reviews)
Allmore Constructions covers residential and commercial builds from their Tullamarine base. They are well-positioned for jobs in Keilor, Keilor East, and the airport-adjacent suburbs.
Commercial building requires a different set of skills and compliance knowledge compared to residential. If you are fitting out a shop, warehouse, or office in the Brimbank industrial areas, Allmore handles both sides.
Based in: Taylors Lakes
Google: 5.0 stars (3 reviews)
BIT Building offers both new construction and ongoing maintenance. That dual service is useful. The builder who constructs your extension can also come back for repairs, modifications, or the smaller jobs that pop up after a renovation.
Based in Taylors Lakes, they cover the Keilor Downs, Delahey, and Sydenham areas. Having a builder nearby means faster response times for maintenance callouts.
Based in: St Albans
Architectural Building Group combines design and construction. Instead of hiring an architect and a builder separately, they handle both. This streamlines the process and reduces the communication gaps that cause delays and cost blowouts.
Based in St Albans, they are convenient for jobs in the central Brimbank suburbs. If you are starting a renovation from scratch and do not yet have plans drawn up, a design-and-build firm saves you a step.
Based in: Hillside
Google: 5.0 stars
All Day Carpentry specialises in timber work. Framing, decking, pergolas, and internal fit-outs. If your project is primarily carpentry rather than a full build, a specialist carpenter often delivers better results than a general builder.
Hillside is on the northern edge of Brimbank. They cover the Melton Highway corridor including Sydenham, Taylors Lakes, and Keilor Downs.
Based in: Sunshine area
AMPA Constructions is a local construction company servicing the Sunshine area. Residential builds and renovations form the core of their work.
Having a builder based in Sunshine means they understand the local council requirements. Brimbank City Council has specific planning overlays and heritage considerations that affect renovation approvals. A local builder who has navigated these before can save you weeks in the permit process.

Local tip: Many homes in Sunshine, Sunshine North, and Albion were built in the 1950s and 60s with fibro (asbestos cement) cladding. Before any renovation, get an asbestos inspection. Removing asbestos requires a licensed removalist and costs $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the extent. Your builder should flag this before quoting, but not all do. Check independently.
A good builder is hard to find and worth keeping. These seven have earned their reputations across the western suburbs. For more options, browse all builders in the directory or explore businesses in Sunshine.
