Testimonials

  • "We love the versatility of Ambitec and knowing that they produce an incredible finish that exceeds our expectations. Their expertise, knowledge of their product and willingness to go above and beyond not only enhances the completion of any of our projects, but they are also a pleasure to deal with."

    Liv Patience - Director & Interior Designer (PDINZ)

    Material Creative

  • “We chose to use Ambitec Interior Polished plasters as they offered a boutique personalised service with products that have the feeling of an international quality. The customer experience was personal, attentive, flexible, responsive with a high sense of care and attention to detail. We love the completed finish and look forward to adding more Ambitec Polished plaster finishes to our home.”

    Angela James – Homeowner

  • "Absolutely thrilled with the work Paul and the team at Ambitec provided with bringing our dream to life in our Newmarket retail store. They over-delivered with our expectations working hours to reach deadlines and bringing ideas and valued input to us throughout the whole design process. Their expertise and knowledge of their product is unsurpassed, and I cannot recommend them enough for their creativity, originality and high level of finish."

    Bex Riley-Kimpton

    Owner - Tosca & Salome

  • “The overall palette of the interior (Valley House Project) is one of muted tones, and Ambitec allowed us to explore subtle shifts in tone and texture to compliment the other materials of timber, stone and metalwork. In areas where we were interested to create an experience to feel more intimate and protected, we were able to work with Ambitec to refine custom dark green and grey colours. This ability to fine tune a material which has such depth and tactility was what drew us to use Ambitec. The team at Ambitec were a pleasure to work alongside for this project and shared our drive to strive for the best result possible.”

  • “Suave is our favourite wall finish as it feels natural yet luxurious at the same time,” says Basra. “We worked closely with Paul to create the bespoke texture and colour of the portal shopfront (Scarpa Newmarket). We wanted to create a cloud like effect with a hint of white and skin tones and Ambitec being a well-rounded team, understands designers needs and makes their vision possible.”

    Kristen Basra - Director/Design Lead

    Spatial Studio

  • “We were thrilled with the luxurious result of the Ambitec plaster walls & ceilings in the Minotti studio and have continued to use this finish throughout other areas of the ECC showroom.”
