A kitchen built around
how you actually cook.
Custom kitchen renovations across Melbourne. Cabinetry, stone and appliances delivered by a Registered Building Company, with the plumbing and electrical handled in-house.
We take on a limited number of renovations each year
End to End
Every trade, handled under one roof.
One team measures, builds and installs the entire kitchen. No juggling a cabinetmaker, a plumber and a sparky who have never met.
Featured Kitchens
Recent transformations
A kitchen that finally uses the whole wall.
The layout was re-planned so the bench along the window runs much longer, with a tall pantry and overhead storage where there had been none. New boards were laid in the kitchen and the rest of the floors sanded and polished so old and new read as one, then the entire house was painted.
The old kitchen out, a proper one in.
The existing kitchen came out entirely. New plumbing and electrical were run before anything went back, then custom cabinetry, a stone benchtop and a tiled splashback were installed and the new appliances fitted off.
More benchtop and storage, same footprint.
The kitchen layout was changed to win back benchtop space and add overhead cabinets, without moving a wall. It ran in the same program as the combined bathroom and laundry, so the household only lived through one renovation rather than three.
How We Work
Three steps to your new kitchen
Consult
A conversation with Charlie, then an on-site measure-up to understand how you cook, what is not working, and what the budget is.
Proposal
Layout and finishes resolved, then a detailed fixed proposal: scope, cabinetry, stone, appliances, timeline and cost.
Build
A tidy, well-run site with weekly updates and Charlie's direct number, from strip-out to the final fix-off.
Ready when you are.
Selected projects can commence within 7 business days of approval. Speak with Charlie about your kitchen this week.

What our clients say
I've used CHB about 15 times and continue to use their services. From smaller jobs to renovating our entire home, I love their thorough communication, very fair pricing, and most importantly the attention to detail.
Working with Charlie and his awesome team was an absolute breath of fresh air. I never had to chase them for updates and the communication was always clear, consistent and timely. They did exactly what they said they would do, and they delivered everything on time. I would highly recommend Charlie and his team for any home renovation project.
Extensions can be stressful and costly. We have been renovating an older home for many years in stages. After discussing our vision with Charlie Hayden, we decided to contract CH Building Group to complete the work. They were flexible, honest, reliable and more than willing to accommodate our changing requests and modest budget.
Questions
Kitchen renovation questions
Three to five weeks on site once we start, plus four to six weeks beforehand while cabinetry and stone are made. Your program is issued with the proposal so you can plan around it.
Usually three to four weeks. We set up a temporary bench, kettle and microwave elsewhere in the home before demolition, and the fridge stays connected throughout.
Cabinetry is built to our drawings by joiners we have worked with for years, then installed and scribed on site by our own carpenters. Nothing is ordered until the room has been measured after strip-out.
Yes. Plumbing and electrical are re-run while the walls are open, which is exactly why services should be part of the same contract as the cabinetry.
You choose them, we check every specification against the cabinetry drawings before anything is ordered, then install and connect them at fix-off.
For selected projects we can commence within 7 business days of approval, though most kitchens start once the joinery and stone are ready.
