Welcome to HRE Built Pty Ltd
Complete builders & renovations in Cranbourne
HRE Built builds new homes, extensions and renovations across Cranbourne, Cranbourne North, Cranbourne East and Cranbourne West. The area’s mix of established housing and new estate land means we do both knockdown rebuilds and additions to existing homes.
Cranbourne’s growth-corridor estates are still filling in, so custom builds and second-dwelling projects are common. Older parts of the suburb, closer to the town centre and the Botanic Gardens, have established homes that suit renovation and rear extension work instead.
Sand and reactive soil profiles vary a lot across Cranbourne. We always work from the geotechnical report rather than assuming a standard footing system, because getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake on a new build.

Local knowledge
Building in Cranbourne, 3977
Variable soil across the corridor
Cranbourne sites range from sandy profiles to highly reactive clay. Site classification drives slab and footing design, and it is done before we price the structure.
New estate builds and covenants
Estate design guidelines control facade materials, driveway finishes and fencing. We build to them so your certificate of compliance is not held up at completion.
Bushfire and overlay checks
Some Cranbourne South and rural-edge properties carry overlays that affect construction requirements. We check the planning property report before design, not after.

Builders & Renovations in Cranbourne — frequently asked questions
How much does a renovation or extension cost in Cranbourne?
Cost depends on size, structural work, site access and finish level rather than the suburb itself. After an on-site measure in Cranbourne 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 Cranbourne 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.
