Beautiful Custom Built Home by Build2Grow

published

Very Happy with the Quality of the House Build & the timeline less than 6 months including Xmas Break.Build2Grow were very Professional to deal with . No major dramas including little changes along the way were accommodated . Price was accurate to quote other than initial soil tests which were higher than first expected. But the test results, foundation costs were explained.

Love our New Hotondo home

published

Our build was managed very well.
Overall the quality of the build is great. Only let down a little by the cabinet maker work which had to be fixed a couple of times over, and took a very long time to complete. This was a frustration to our building supervisor as much as it was to us. Some of the internal paintwork is a little average.
As we built with Hotondo who do fixed price contracts we had no surprise costs added anywhere in the build which we were very happy with and also one of the reasons that we chose to use Hotondo.

Could not fault Hotondo Homes Torquay on their desire to accomodate all of our desires and needs within a budget.

published

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

published

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 building with Hotondo (B2G)

published

We recently completed handover of our new "custom'' home build. The entire process was professional, top quality & nothing was too much trouble for Michael & James & the Lara Hotondo team.
Could not recommend them highly enough & will utilise them again for any investment or further build projects we undertake.

Highly recommend Michael and his team

published

Michael and his staff were very efficient at managing our building.. We felt at ease going through the journey. It has been about 6 months and we love our new home. Michael was very understanding and handled our questions with a smile as we had few changes. The workmanship and quality was very good, our friends and relatives have made comments to that effect. We are now nearly finished with our landscaping and the outside is also looking good, thanks to Michael for his help and input. We are very satisfied with the company and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Simply the best.

published

I could not speak more highly of our build process with Hotondo Homes Wallan! From the initial consultation to handover we were taken care of and kept in the loop every step of the way. The whole team were extremely knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating (even though I was extremely indecisive and changed my mind a million times before construction had even begun!) The finished product was everything I envisioned and more. Spending the first night in our new house it already felt like home, and for that I could not be more thankful. If you are building don’t even consider anyone else, Hotondo Homes Wallan are simply the best.

Hotondo Inverloch are fabulous

published

Building with Hotondo Inverloch was fabulous. From the start to the finish Trent and Caroline were honest, open and extremely helpful. They did exactly what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. There were no unexpected extras at all and not even one disagreement. Caroline and Trent were very flexible with our meeting times and Caroline was fantastic with colour selections. During the build Trent allowed us to look over the house regularly and the tradesman we met were always friendly. We have been in our house now for over 2 months and there is not a single defect. We can't recommend Hotondo Inverloch highly enough - top quality. Our final cost was exactly what we were quoted at the start. Phil and Sue Whiteman

Couldn’t ask for a better builder

published

Throughout my entire build I knew exactly where everything was up to, when trades where coming in and what to expect in the coming weeks
The finishes are to an amazing quality and the guys really treated like there own, if they weren’t happy they made sure it was taken care of
We hit a hurdle with the flooring which was not there fault but the team could not of been more helpful to rectify the situation
I was well aware of the costs and came in under budget which I was pleasantly surprised
Could not recommend the team highly enough

Hotondo=Happiness!

From the start to the finish nothing was too much trouble for our wonderful team from Hotondo! Trent and Caroline from Hotondo Inverloch went out of their way to assist us as we made a very big move into our retirement sea change house. Living nearly 3 hours from our new location they kept us updated and involved with our build. The project was finished on schedule and to an exceptional standard. This was our third build and the most stress free! We would highly recommend the team from Hotondo Inverloch.

Once deposit is paid how long till contracts are ready for the banks?

In my experience Hotondo contracts were ready straight away and we had to wait for bank! Our build was complete from deposit to move in ahead of the twelve month time frame they gave us

Philip Roberts
Philip Roberts

Once all the colours and finishes etc are finalised the Contracts are ready for signing quite quickly.
Once signed they can go to the bank.

Hotondo Homes
Hugo B.Hotondo Homes

Hi Andrew,
This can vary depending on each situation as a lot of factors can contribute to contracts being finalised including land being titled, colour selections etc. It's best to speak directly to your builder about time frames as they'll have the background knowledge on where everything is at.
Hope that helps.
Thanks - Rose

VIC, South Morang

Hi
I have a sloping land in Doreen, just wondering if you have any suitable home designs or do you undertake split level construction.

1 answer
Hotondo Homes
Hugo B.Hotondo Homes

Hi kk a,
We definitely do undertake split level construction and have a range of home designs to suit sloping blocks depending on the fall of the land. We can also tailor our standard home designs to suit sloping blocks but again this will depend on the fall of the block. You can take a look at our split level home designs here https://hotondo.com.au/new-home-designs/?split=1 but it is best to discuss your options directly with the South Morang team who is the local builder for the area. The team would be happy to come out and visit the site to give you a better understanding of how it may work. You can find all the information about the South Morang team by visiting https://hotondo.com.au/home-builders/south-morang/.
Hope that helps!
Thanks - Rose
