About Ashmore

Building in Ashmore

Ashmore is a mature, family-oriented suburb at the centre of the Gold Coast, known for its generous lot sizes, leafy streetscapes, and proximity to quality schools. Many Ashmore homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s and are now prime candidates for modernisation. Newnham Constructions has been renovating and building in Ashmore since our early years, giving us unmatched familiarity with the suburb's building stock, soil conditions, and council requirements.

Local Context

Located between Southport and Nerang, Ashmore offers a suburban lifestyle with easy access to the M1 motorway and Gold Coast's main commercial centres. The suburb features predominantly single and double-storey detached homes on 600–800m² lots, with some older acreage properties on the western fringe. Ashmore's mature tree canopy and established gardens create a distinctive character that homeowners want to preserve during renovations. The suburb is within the catchment of several sought-after schools, driving demand for family-focused extensions and second-storey additions.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Ashmore

Second-storey additions are one of our most popular services in Ashmore. Many homes here sit on generous lots but were built as single-level. We assess structural capacity, design seamless additions that look like they were always part of the home, and manage the DA process with Gold Coast City Council.

Costs vary significantly based on scope. A kitchen or bathroom renovation typically starts from $40,000–$80,000, while a full-home renovation or extension can range from $150,000 to $500,000+. We provide detailed, transparent quotes after a thorough site inspection so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes — whether it's building on a vacant lot or a knockdown-rebuild on an existing site, we design and construct custom homes suited to Ashmore's family-oriented character. We work with you from concept to completion, including design, council approvals, and landscaping coordination.

Many 1980s Ashmore homes contain asbestos in eaves, wet areas, and fencing. We conduct asbestos assessments before starting any renovation, engage licensed asbestos removalists, and ensure all disposal meets Queensland regulations. This is a standard part of our pre-construction process for older properties.
