Welcome to HRE Built Pty Ltd
Complete builders & renovations in Bentleigh
Bentleigh is period-home territory, and HRE Built renovates and extends across Bentleigh, Bentleigh East and McKinnon with a focus on keeping what is worth keeping.
California bungalows and interwar homes here have good bones and difficult layouts — dark central hallways, small rear kitchens and a disconnected backyard. The standard solution is a rear extension that opens the plan to the north while the front rooms, cornices, hearths and leadlight are restored rather than stripped.
Glen Eira is an active council on neighbourhood character, so getting the roof form, materials and setbacks right at the design stage matters more here than in most suburbs we work in.

Local knowledge
Building in Bentleigh, 3204
Period detail worth restoring
Original plaster, timber joinery and leadlight are repaired and matched where possible. Replacement profiles are milled to suit rather than substituted with the closest stock item.
Glen Eira neighbourhood character
Streetscape, roof form and front setback all get assessed. We design the addition to sit behind the original roof line so the application reads as sympathetic.
Northern light and orientation
Most Bentleigh blocks run so the backyard catches good northern light. Correct glazing, eaves and skylight placement is what makes an extension comfortable year-round instead of hot in summer.

Builders & Renovations in Bentleigh — frequently asked questions
How much does a renovation or extension cost in Bentleigh?
Cost depends on size, structural work, site access and finish level rather than the suburb itself. After an on-site measure in Bentleigh 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 Glen Eira permits and paperwork?
Yes. We prepare and lodge building permit documentation with the City of Glen Eira, 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 Bentleigh 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.
