"...man's home is his castle"
We wake from our home to see a beautiful view and the sun streaming in. Our home was a custom build. Scott our Designer was fantastic at making the most of the light and lay of the land. Our build was well managed. Darren our Site Manager was always contactable and Margie, Kerrie and Scott at Hotondo were always quick with a response to an email or call. The workmanship is very good (my husband is a carpenter, so very picky!). Our construction did take longer than anticipated, however, we built during a building boom in the area. We were aware...Read more
of costs throughout, and were tempted several times by upgrades. Our final cost was higher than estimated, but not outside of our budget. We love our home and thank Hotondo for their workmanship and professionalism.

Could not fault Hotondo Homes Torquay on their desire to accomodate all of our desires and needs within a budget.
Design and overall heating and cooling options were fully considered before construction. Construction was timely with consultation on every step of the process. The trades people, from electricians, plumbers, carpenters, tilers and painters, to site managers, were efficient professional and prompt in their service.
Costs were maintained to acceptable levels and now after some time in the house, so many of their suggestions regarding windows and climate control proved to be correct.

Great build on a difficult block
We built a double storey investment property on a small 230sq block. From the initial planning through the hand over the process was enjoyable and easy. We worked with the team to come up with a design that maximized use of the block and still allowed for a comfortable house. Our house was completed on budget and on time. We are currently going through the process of building our second, forever home with them. We would highly recommend using the team at Torquay Hotondo Homes.

Great experience
We built our first home with Hotondo Torquay (PJ Scott builders) in 2017.
Overall, the experience was a really positive one with the end result being a beautiful home with great workmanship. Peter was able to modify an existing floor plan to suit our vision perfectly, and took the time to design a custom facade that was exactly what we were after. The selections team were friendly and helpful, and we were impressed with their flexibility around meeting times. We would like to make particular mention of our building supervisor Grant who was ...Read more
OUTSTANDING throughout the entire process. His excellent communication and attention to detail made everything so stress-free, and we really felt as if he had our best interests at heart the whole way along. A few areas for improvement would be to have greater clarity in the pricing, particularly when making building design modifications and chopping and changing between selection options. We probably made this process fairly difficult with the amount of changes we asked for, but still felt a little confused at times with how pricing was worked out. This is not a criticism of anyone in particular, but possibly the processes in place. There were also a few fairly average products that could be taken off the selections list which we have already raised. A big thank-you to the team at Hotondo Torquay - we love our new home and have already recommended you to our friends. Cheers, Ryan & Caitlin1 comment

Can't stress how much we love this house
We built with Hortondo Torquay ( PJ Scott builders), after going through all the display homes and realising that nothing fit our needs and no one was interested in customising enough to accommodate us. We obviously check the reviews for PJ scott and found that they provide outstanding results and customer service, so we decided to build with them. During the build we lived an hour away, but received updates and photos often, they finished ahead of time and the quality was 5 stars. We got the exact build we wanted, right down to the kitchen sin...Read more
k that we we're very picky on and surveillance system that we provided and we were helped by the designer the whole time to stay on budget. There were only minor defects, that Hortondo picked up before we did an addressed promptly and 5 months in, everyday one of us mentions how much we love this house. After seeing some of the neighbours homes and getting feedback on their experiences, I am so glad we built with these guys.1 comment

Exceptional house from a professional team
From the minute we walked in to the office to handover, we not only received our dream home but we were able to enjoy the building process thanks to such a professional team at Hotondo Torquay. The whole process was enjoyable from the beginning, Peter designed a custom house that exceeded our expectations, he was happy to listen to our ideas but also use his experience to suggest other options that resulted in cleverly utilizing the space we had to work with. Darren, our foreman and his team executed the build to perfectly. Darren was also happ...Read more

We were made to feel very welcome at the office and the team there were very helpful and professional in assisting us making the right decisions during the whole process. The final product is an exceptional home and the quality of the workmanship is second to none. We would be happy to recommend Hotondo Torquay to anyone and will definitely build with them again in the future.1 comment

Our forever home
Our experience with PJ Scott Homes Torquay has been great. We started the process with sales consultant Peter who was extremely hopeful and knowledgeable. We were able to custom design our home to suit our needs. The selections consultation appointment was made easy with the support of Margie's knowledge and friendly manner. Our site supervisor Grant was amazing, he was contactable when needed and provided a great level of access to our home throughout the build process. The show room staff were always very helpful with returning calls, progressing invoice payments etc. There was a high level of detail focused on the finishes which was important to us. We have been extremely happy with the whole progress and would highly recommend PJ Homes.

Excellent customer service
PJ Scott at Hotondo Homes Torquay were amazing! Every step of the build process, from start to finish, was managed by excellent staff who were committed to superior customer service. As each stage finished and a new person was delegated to head the process, be it the design, selections or the site manager, all staff involved were consistent in listening to their client and answering endless questions, meeting agreed deadlines, providing expert advice and just general care and commitment to the product they provide. I felt considered at all stag...Read more

Delighted with the quality of finish of works and the overall result of our renovation project. Importantly the company operated in an inclusive and collaborative manner which allowed us a sense of involvement and participation throughout the process.
Professional, communicative and competent organization in all aspects of our interactions from design stage through construction to handover. No hesitation in recommending.

Hotondo Torquay (Baines Cres) Brilliant Team - quality, price and timing!
The team at Hotondo were fantastic all the way through - during the design phase, both Peter's were very conscious of our requirements from the dwelling but also our budget. They worked very hard to ensure we got a fantastic dwelling aesthetically, quality finishes, comfortable and on budget! Site management was great, the house was ready 3 weeks early! Any issues were promptly resolved through Darren (project) manager and Peter (architect) with ready communication throughout. Final presentation was excellent with nice finishing touches.

Construction of Beach House on Surf Coast - Approval Number BSU 23052/20130116, Job#139
Our experience with Hotondo - PJ Scott Homes in building a holiday house on the Surf Coast has been excellent. The have been very well organised, flexible and responsive. There has been excellent communication throughout the project even when a couple of unexpected issues occurred during site excavation which could have caused major disruption and significant cost blow-outs. The site representative treated the build as if it was his house and showed additional care and flexibility.
Very good value for money

Our house extension by Hotondo Homes Torquay, Victoria
After much thought we decided to do an extension to our house in Jan Juc Victoria. With our Architect plans complete, we sourced quotes. Hotondos price was competitive and they showed a real interest in our job and an enthusiasm to take it on. From the start we were impressed by their team work and organisational skills through stages of the build. All the tradesmen seemed to enjoyed working together. Hotondo did a great job for us. We love our house and our new extension.
Energy Efficient. Professional and Quality workmanship. Great communication with us.

Tremendous Service from go to wo
Hotondo Homes through PJ Scott Homes helped us build a home which we are perfectly happy with, they helped us finalise design of our custom house and complete it within the timeframe that they agreed to - we could not be more happy with the outcome and have since recommended others to this team.

until a few days later - this is just one example of PJ Scott Homes going above and beyond what is required of them. PJ Scott Homes ultimately repaired our home to the level that the repairs are unrecognizable (as it should be). April 27th, 2017 Update: Great response by P J Scott Hotondo Homes How good is this builder, we had an issue with our home which was built circa 9 years ago and instead of arguing "out of warranty etc" which a lot of other builders might have been inclined to do P J Scott sent their foreman around and a few days later had 2 men on the job to fix our problem to our complete satisfaction.
