I was introduced to Mitch by my architect, Matthew Hecker, after a challenging start to a new build on a difficult vacant block. I presented a tight brief: timeline and budget! Within weeks, we had a detailed quote, an agreed contract, and a start date. A hallmark of Hillyear Constructions was clear, consistent communication and transparency, which made decision-making and problem-solving collaborative and highly effective. Even building regulations and administration became a manageable process rather than a frustration.

Mitch’s project management and commitment to the project’s objectives were outstanding. He and his team were highly skilled, polite, and respectful. The site environment was positive, busy, and collaborative—the building team and associated trades were happy to share their experience and opinions. This approach fostered respect and confidence.

As the build became an exciting visual reality, it was easy to become expansive with ideas. Mitch consistently brought us back to the original objectives and kept the project on track. There was no doubt about his professional integrity, and it was clear that he worked hard for his clients.

In summary, Ma Petite Maison was built on time and within budget. Mitch and Matt, the architect, created a beautiful, streamlined, light-filled living space through intelligent design to the highest standard of construction. They inspired trust and confidence throughout a critical project.

HILLYEAR CONSTRUCTIONS brought together an A-team of highly skilled builders and associated trades under the stewardship of Mitch Hillyear. Relationships were fostered with local tradespeople who I would gladly rely on again, and happily recommend. Personally, I found Mitch to be genuine, committed, and possessed of excellent interpersonal and leadership skills. He was a delight to work with, and I can honestly say that my building experience was a very positive one.

We worked with Mitch and his team on the renovation of our place in Rye, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience or the end result. From the very beginning, Mitch set himself apart with his professionalism, organisation, and genuinely accommodating approach.

Throughout the project, he brought a calm, can-do attitude to every stage. Nothing ever felt too difficult, and he was always solution-focused, reliable, and easy to communicate with. His attention to detail and commitment to quality gave us a lot of confidence, and it was clear he took real pride in the work.

Mitch and his team made what could have been a stressful renovation feel well-managed and straightforward. We’re thrilled with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a builder who is professional, dependable, and great to work with.

It’s always reassuring working with a builder who genuinely cares about achieving a high-quality outcome, and I would confidently recommend them to anyone considering their services.

Mitch and his team did an amazing job extending and renovating my home. We couldn't have been happier with the finished result! The communication with Mitch throughout the project was exceptional, making us feel at ease throughout the whole process. Couldn't recommend him enough!

Wonderfully cottage with 3 bedrooms, a very comfy bed in the main bedroom with ensuite. Wall mounted tv with Netflix and other options. A 5 minute walk to the amazing Blairgowrie back beach. Very good value for the area.

Such a lovely place to stay. Very clean. A wonderful and pleasant experience, highly recommended

Brendan attended our property very quickly (regardless of it being a late Friday afternoon) and was able to identify the source of our bathroom leak confidently and quickly. We are very grateful for his help, he is wonderful to deal with and will definitely call him for future plumbing needs.

Would highly recommend

Quick and stress free service, arrived on time did a great job and offered helpful advice. Will definitely recommend to others in Portsea.

Brendan was able to come within half an hour and fixed the problem quickly and well. Couldn’t have asked for better

Brendan came down and worked on an issue we had at The Portsea Camp. He came down within 25mins and was able to get the issue resolved within a couple of hours. Amazing work and great result for the camp 😊 …

Had a pipe leak issue. Impressed by Backbeach's acoustic detector and Brendan's professional approach. Simple, effective, and genuine service. Highly recommended!

Treats his customers just like he wants to be treated. Brilliant!

I highly recommend Brendan after he was able to solve my high water bill by finding an underground water leak using acoustic leak detection.

I have also used Brendan previously to unblock my sewer pipes and complete a CCTV inspection.

I cannot praise Backbeach Plumbing enough! Brendan responded promptly and professionally to our emergency plumbing situation. We were dealing with a blocked sewer, and he handled it with utmost expertise. Highly recommended and undoubtedly the best local plumber in Sorrento. Don't look any further for top-notch service!

Brendan responded immediately to our call and attended our property promptly. Great work and service at a fair price. Will definitely use again.

Helped me out with a fridge water point. After another plumber tried to rip me off, I contacted Back Beach Plumbing. Super responsive and knows his stuff. Job done quickly and efficiently. Fair price. Highly recommended.

Good place for short stay, it is pet friendly so you can bring your pet on your trip. Overall the place is decent with clean bathroom and bedrooms. Split aircons in every room with central heating.

Only issues found were the kitchen utensils were not quite clean and there is no dishwasher, the laundry machine needs some cleaning as mold were discovered.

The back security door will either need replacement or maintenance work done.
