Ambrose Design & Construct
Case study
Ambrose Design & Construct relies on premium Dulux Paint, Dulux Acratex Coatings and Exsulite Cladding to build new luxury homes and deliver high end renovations.
Ambrose’s stellar reputation has caused demand to soar in the last few years
With premium quality products like Dulux Paint, Dulux Acratex Coatings and Exsulite Cladding Ambrose Design & Construct has built many dream homes for clients across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. From building new luxury homes to delivering high end renovations, this family-owned business has a portfolio of delighted homeowners spreading the word.
“We started working on two or three builds at a time, before it quickly jumped to 15 per year over a short space of time. We have since evolved and moved further into the luxury space, with most of our new builds in the $1.5 to $3 million price category. We’re laser focused on delivering quality builds and first-class customer experiences, so we’ve recently limited the number of projects to about eight per year.”

Quality workmanship and superior finishes are key
Winner of multiple Master Builder Awards in the New Home category, as well as several Training Awards, Ambrose has a tight-knit team united in their passion for quality workmanship and superior finishes. That’s why Ambrose Design & Construct officially partnered with Dulux in February 2024, with full project support provided by Dulux Business Development Manager, Tina Shuart.
“We wanted to ensure we were offering our clients a premium selection across their internal and external surfaces and exterior substrates,” Lee explains. “When we’re establishing commercial partnerships, quality is the most important factor. Dulux are the leader in their field, so they were the best choice. As a bonus, aligning with their brand strengthens our own.
Internal walls on all Ambrose Design & Construct homes are prepared and primed with one coat of Dulux Professional Acrylic Sealer Undercoat. Two coats of Dulux Wash&Wear delivers premium washable finishes with exceptional stain resistance.
For the home’s exterior, the rendered façade is achieved with a 3-Step Dulux Acratex system, producing a highly durable finish with the application of Dulux Acratex AcraShield Advance as a topcoat. The finish has excellent UV resistance, is easy to maintain and is available in thousands of Dulux colours.
Exsulite cladding system is also regularly selected for the external cladding. This fully integrated lightweight facade system creates a weatherproof, thermal efficient building envelope which is then coated in a Dulux Acratex coating system that incorporates texture as well as Dulux colour in a protective finish that will look great for longer.
Delighted clients
"Our clients meet with our Interior Designer to browse through Dulux colour samples and charts. As a custom builder of luxury homes, we find a way to capture our client’s vision and make it happen. If we have a non-standard coatings request, such as a textured finish, we will contact Tina to ask for her recommendations and advice. Dulux always has a product that will achieve the intended finish. I wasn’t aware that Dulux offered a cladding system, but I was keen to trial it. Exsulite is a high-quality product at a good price point, so we’ve now incorporated it on all our builds.”
The future looks bright for this up-and-coming Queensland builder, with Dulux bringing its industry-leading finishes to every Ambrose Design & Construct home. “We’re super excited about this partnership with Dulux, because we’re leveraging our combined capabilities to deliver show-stopping homes,” said Lee.
