Welcome to HRE Built Pty Ltd
Complete builders & renovations in Berwick
Berwick is one of our busiest suburbs for extensions and custom homes. HRE Built builds across old Berwick, the Berwick Springs and Timbarra estates, and up around the hills near Harkaway.
The suburb has two very different building conditions. Around the village and High Street you get established homes on mature, often sloping blocks with significant vegetation. In the estates you get late-model brick homes where the work is usually alfresco additions, second living areas, garage conversions and kitchen or bathroom upgrades.
Sloping Berwick blocks need proper attention to levels, retaining and stormwater. We survey and engineer for the fall rather than guessing, which keeps the finished floor levels right and stops water ending up where it should not.

Local knowledge
Building in Berwick, 3806
Sloping and elevated blocks
Land around Harkaway Road and the northern edge of Berwick falls sharply. Split-level design, retaining walls and stepped footings are common, and they need to be priced honestly up front.
Vegetation and tree protection
Casey applies vegetation controls on many established Berwick allotments. We check tree protection zones early, because they change where footings and site access can go.
Estate homes and covenants
Newer Berwick estates often carry design covenants on materials, roof pitch and setbacks. We work within them so your addition matches and approval is not held up.

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