Ben Reid is a qualified builder with over 12 years of hands-on experience in carpentry and residential construction. Originally from Queensland, Ben made the move to Echuca–Moama in 2008. Reconnecting with the region where his father and grandparents were raised, and where he's now proud to be raising his own family.
Ben's early career was shaped by his time playing high-level football around the country. After a string of injuries and a shift in focus, he turned to the trade that runs in his family, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Roy, a lifelong carpenter. That legacy, along with a deep passion for building and design, laid the groundwork for what would become B+L Built.
Since co-founding the company in 2020, Ben has gone on to complete both his DB-L (Limited) and DB-U (Domestic Builder Unlimited) registrations, cementing his role as a qualified building practitioner. He brings a strong interest in design detail, sustainable building, and energy-efficient construction to each project.
Outside of building, Ben runs a junior AFL development program The Reid Academy and enjoys life on the farm in Patho with his partner and young family.
