Welcome to HRE Built Pty Ltd
Complete builders & renovations in Clayton
HRE Built renovates, extends and rebuilds across Clayton and Clayton South. With Monash University and the medical precinct nearby, we work on both owner-occupied family renovations and investment-grade upgrades.
Clayton’s housing is dominated by post-war and 1960s brick veneer on flat, regular blocks. That combination is well suited to rear extensions, second bathrooms, granny-flat-style secondary living areas and full internal renovations.
For investment properties we focus on the work that actually holds value — waterproofing, wiring, kitchens, bathrooms and flooring — and we are upfront about which cosmetic items are not worth the spend.

Local knowledge
Building in Clayton, 3168
Flat, regular blocks
Clayton allotments are typically level and rectangular, which keeps site costs down and makes single-storey rear extensions straightforward to stage.
Pre-1990 materials
Asbestos sheeting in eaves, bathrooms and laundries is common in Clayton homes of this era. It is assessed and removed by licensed operators, with documentation provided.
Rental and investment work
Where a property is tenanted or between leases, we work to fixed dates and stage trades tightly so vacancy time is kept to the shortest realistic window.

Builders & Renovations in Clayton — frequently asked questions
How much does a renovation or extension cost in Clayton?
Cost depends on size, structural work, site access and finish level rather than the suburb itself. After an on-site measure in Clayton we issue a written fixed-price quote broken into line items, so you can see exactly what each part of the job costs and adjust the scope before signing.
Do you handle the City of Monash permits and paperwork?
Yes. We prepare and lodge building permit documentation with the City of Monash, check zoning, setbacks and any overlays that apply to your block, and arrange engineering, soil reports and energy ratings as part of the pre-construction stage.
How long will a Clayton project take?
Kitchen and bathroom renovations usually run four to eight weeks on site. Ground-floor extensions typically take four to six months, and new custom homes nine to sixteen months. Design, engineering and permits normally add three to six months before construction starts.
Can we keep living in the house during the build?
In most renovation and extension projects, yes. We stage the work, dust-seal the construction zone, protect access paths and keep a working kitchen or bathroom available wherever the scope allows. Where that is not possible we tell you before you sign, not halfway through.
Are you registered and insured?
Yes. HRE Built works as a registered building practitioner under the National Construction Code and Victorian building regulations, carries domestic building insurance on applicable residential contracts, plus public liability and workers’ compensation cover.
