Family-owned Tasmanian builders
Commercial and residential construction, development and 24/7 maintenance from a family-owned Hobart builder. Schools, clinics, aged care, offices and homes, built to the National Construction Code and finished properly.
What we do
Whatever the job, you deal with one builder who plans it, runs it and stands behind it. Choose the division that fits and we take it from there.
Fit-outs, refurbishments and new NCC Class 2 to 9 buildings for schools, government, aged care and business, each run by a dedicated full-time project manager.
New homes, extensions, kitchens and bathrooms, managed from planning to handover by a principal contractor who coordinates every trade.
Planned programs, ad-hoc call-outs and a 24/7 emergency response that keeps schools, clinics and housing safe, compliant and open.
Subdivisions, multi-unit housing and commercial projects delivered as a hands-on development partner, working with clients, councils and consultants across Tasmania.
Why Allen Built
Since 1980 the Allen family has built and maintained the buildings Tasmanians learn, work, heal and live in. Shannon Allen now leads the company his father Edward started, and the rule has not changed: no client turned away, no job left half done.
Every commercial project gets a dedicated full-time project manager, so you always know who to call and what happens next.
Every team member holds a Working With Vulnerable People card and completes site-specific inductions for schools, clinics and industrial facilities.
Commercial work is delivered to the National Construction Code for Class 2 to 9 buildings and the relevant Australian Standards, with a Medium Rise Builder Licence behind it.
Storm damage, vandalism or a failed fitting at 2am: the maintenance team answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Meet the builder
Shannon Allen is Allen Built's Director and a licensed Medium Rise Builder. He started on the tools as a carpenter, has more than 15 years in carpentry and over eight in commercial maintenance behind him, and still runs estimating and project coordination himself.
Edward Allen, an engineer, started the company in 1980. Shannon took it over to keep doing what his father set out to do: give Tasmanian clients building solutions that are structurally sound, practical and good to look at.
Around him is a crew of carpenters, site supervisors, a licensed plumbing practitioner, an office team and apprentices. Every one of them holds a Working With Vulnerable People card, and almost all are completing further qualifications through TasTAFE and Master Builders Tasmania.
As soon as we can, to understand the job, the site and your timing.
