Custom homes, luxury residences, knockdown rebuilds, renovations and extensions in Mount Eliza — built by an award-winning Melbourne construction team.
Book a ConsultationMount Eliza sits on a clifftop overlooking Port Phillip Bay, with a character often described as the "Toorak of the Peninsula" — large, private blocks, established golf courses at Mount Eliza and The National, and the Peninsula School catchment drawing families from across Melbourne.
Blocks here are typically far larger than a standard suburban lot, often acreage-style, which opens up scope for a genuinely custom home with pool, tennis court or landscaped grounds. It's a suburb where the brief is rarely just "a house" — it's a full lifestyle property.
PJ Thomas Homes provides custom home building, luxury home construction, renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds throughout Mount Eliza and the surrounding Mornington Peninsula area, close to Mount Eliza Village, the Mount Eliza escarpment and Peninsula School.
We design and build custom homes in Mount Eliza shaped around your block, budget and the way you actually live — not a generic floor plan. Every project is tailored from the ground up, with the same standard of craftsmanship recognised by four HIA Awards on our Brighton Residence project.
As experienced luxury home builders, we bring detail-led construction and premium finishes to Mount Eliza residences — managing selections, trades and workmanship to a standard that matches the suburb's expectations.
A knockdown rebuild is often the most cost-effective way to get the home you want on land you already know. We manage demolition, Mornington Peninsula Shire approvals and construction from a single point of contact, start to finish.
From kitchen renovations to second-storey additions, we plan Mount Eliza renovations and extensions to improve space and flow while blending seamlessly with your existing home.
PJ Thomas Homes is led by Tom Petrongolo, a Melbourne builder with more than a decade of experience and four Housing Industry Association (HIA) Awards to his name, including HIA Victorian Home of the Year. Clients across Mount Eliza and Mornington Peninsula choose us for clear communication, careful project management and a finished result that holds up to scrutiny long after handover.
We manage every project end-to-end — from the initial consultation and design through planning approvals, construction and final handover — so you deal with one experienced team throughout.
Mornington Peninsula Shire applies bushfire management overlays across much of Mount Eliza, which affects construction requirements under the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) framework — something we assess at the very start of design. Clifftop and sloped sites also bring geotechnical and stormwater considerations that need proper engineering input, particularly for larger homes close to the escarpment.
