We recently completed a major extension and new build to our home in South Melbourne with Hale, and we couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial planning stages through to completion, the team was professional, organised, and a pleasure to work with. Communication was clear throughout the entire project, and any issues were addressed quickly and proactively. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. The finished extension and new build have truly transformed the way we live in our home. We would highly recommend Hale to anyone considering a renovation, extension, or new build project.

We could not speak more highly of Matthew and his team at Hale Corp.From the start Matthew was enthusiastic and meticulous in his eye for detail and helpful suggestions , always emphasising that we need to be happy with the outcome and nothing is too much trouble.The result is a magnificent fully renovated apartment in Middle Park that we now call home.Matthew was very transparent in his dealings with us and planned the various stages to tie in with each other to complete the project.A lovely guy, very honest and reliable,a great builder who wed thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to build or renovate.Thank you Matthew for a great job and our new home.

We were so impressed with our experience with the team at Hale. Hale made the entire process easy - the team is experienced and guided us through the process from concept to completion. In these uncertain times it was imperative for us to have a builder we could trust and Hale were that and more. If you are looking for a quality home builder then I highly recommend Hale.
