Common questions about our building services
How much does a home extension cost in Melbourne?
Most single-storey rear extensions in Melbourne land between $3,500 and $5,500 per square metre depending on finishes, site access and structural work. Second-storey additions typically start higher because of steel, stairs and re-stumping. We give you an itemised fixed price after the design stage, so there are no provisional-sum surprises.
Do I need a planning permit for my renovation in Victoria?
It depends on your council, your zoning and whether a heritage or neighbourhood character overlay applies. Many rear extensions only need a building permit, while anything affecting the streetscape in a heritage overlay usually needs planning approval. We check overlays and setbacks free of charge before you commit to drawings.
How long will my project take?
Can I stay in my home during the build?
In most extension and renovation projects, yes. We stage the work, seal off the construction zone with dust protection and keep a working kitchen or bathroom available wherever the scope allows.
Are you a registered and insured builder?
Yes. HRE Built works as a registered building practitioner under the National Construction Code, carries domestic building insurance on applicable residential contracts, plus public liability and workers’ compensation cover. We are also an NDIS-approved builder.
