About

Welcome to Dane House. We are passionate about quality and take great pride in offering building solutions and electrical services to clients across Melbourne.

Our values are simple but perhaps not so common- We believe combining honest communication with quality is the foundation of satisfaction, fostering a happy relationship with clients. Whether you are enquiring about a new build, renovation or electrical services, we like to keep you well informed while offering expert craftsmanship and good products.

We have selected our team with this in mind. Our tradesmen and admin team are friendly, honest and good at what they do. A simple formula for you to get the results you are after.

Our mission

We are striving to change the culture of the construction industry, offering honesty to our clients, respect to our tradesmen and providing quality we are proud to put our name to. In order for the construction industry to become more sustainable, we need to build homes that stand the test of time. Through ensuring things are done right the first time (we don’t cut corners) and avoiding products that won’t last, the end result has a quality that can be enjoyed, that lasts and inevitably, saves the environment (and you money) down the track.

Our values

Sustainability

We believe in using products that last as a way of investing in the environment. Saving waste and you money.

Relationships

Fostering good relationships is at the heart of our business. We are honest, solution-focused and make sure you’re well informed to make choices you’ll be happy with.

Quality

We aren’t satisfied with mediocrity, so we provide service and craftsmanship as though it is our own home.

Accountability

Old fashioned service you can rely on, where the job is done right the first time, what we say, we do.

Our story

Ethan Elsen is a registered builder and electrician with over 30 years experience. After mastering all aspects of the electrical industry, including a corporate stint as National Busines development Manager for Clipsal and also as Managing Director of a national lighting consultancy company, Ethan obtained his builder’s licence over a decade ago. He set out with the drive and intention to improve the quality of housing construction in Victoria.

Now with many building and electrical projects under his belt and a great team of tradesmen, the quality of his work speaks for itself. And we’ve never advertised. Ever.

Ethan lives in the North Eastern suburbs of Melbourne with his wife Katie, 2 kids and mini schnauzer Wally.
