Who We Are
Custom Outdoor Living is a division of the Pergolas R Us brand, so you know that you are dealing with a proven businessman and a team that have been bringing families and friends together with their Customised Outdoor Living areas for over 26 years all across Melbourne.
The original company was founded in 1993. However at that time it was initially known as W M Goodie Landscapes & Carpentry then on April 18th, 1997 the business name was changed to Pergolas R Us.
Over the last 17 years our designs have evolved and it was time for another name change, so as of 1st July 2014 a new division and website was created to showcase our expertise and dedication towards being one of the best outdoor living builders in Melbourne.

This way we can discuss your requirements and better gauge the design of your house which will enable our designers to come up with some concepts plans for your home that seamlessly integrates into your property’s existing design and layout.
How Can We Help You?
We have over 26 years of custom outdoor building experience, building sunrooms, verandahs, carports, pergolas and much more for the happy residents of Melbourne.

Our process is thorough and because we are experienced outdoor home builders, we can assure you that the final result will help transform your property into something you’ll be proud of.
First we’ll arrange a convenient time to visit you at your home and discuss in detail your requirements. This will then give us a better idea of how we can help.
We will be able to show you previous examples of building projects and provide you our recommendations and estimated costings of the proposal.
After your home visit and the concept and project goals have been clarified we will prepare a detailed estimation of your project for your approval.
Once the final adjustments have been made with your project, our team will obtain all of the relevant building and planning permits so our expert tradespeople can start on the construction of your new outdoor area.
