Going the extra mile from design and after build support
I chose to build an investment house with Hotondo South Coast after meeting Adam and his team and getting a feel for their dedication. This is not the first time I have built an investment property, but I couldn't be happier with the support from all at Hotondo South Coast. Shortly after committing to the build and land package through Adam, I was sent to the UK for work on short notice. All of the team were able to assist with all the particulars of the build that I could not be there for, including colour selection, and interior design aspect...Read more
s. Lauren, Chloe and Melissa were all super helpful in this matter particularly. Kayla, Linda and Stefanie were all brilliant in keeping me on track whilst dealing with various timezones and distance issues. In addition to all of the extra support throughout the build, Adam has been a great help dealing with minor post build issues that I have not been able to address in person. Even now up to a year post-completion, Adam has been helpful beyond belief in dealing with issues raised by tenants. I have been more than comfortable in allowing Adam to deal directly with the real estate agent on a matter which was quickly resolved. Adam and his team really have gone the extra mile and I would have no hesitation recommending them for anyone looking to build in the South Coast area.

We adore out beautiful Hotondo Home
The entire experience of building with Jeff and Fiona was wonderful! They catered to our needs and wants in the design and construction of our forever home. Any follow ups have been dealt with promptly and professionally with no fuss or stress. Both Simon and myself would recommend them enthusiastically to anyone thinking of building now or in the future.

Love our house is perfect, builders were amazing to deal with and quality is really good.
Build was managed perfect, we were informed off everything that was going on weekly! Quality of the our home is perfect. We had a few little problems with getting permits and what not but they were all handled great. Pretty much perfect there were a few extra costs due to us upgrading a few things. All in all we are wrapped.

For a smooth experience and excellent finished product; choose Hotondo!
Finding the right builder to build your home is about trust and once we met the team at Hotondo Homes we knew we were in safe hands. We are so happy with our new home and the care/attention to detail they showed. Would definitely use them again in the future!

They built our dream home, on time and with no fuss!!
Our build was well managed and done in the time frame we were told. We have been very happy with the workmanship and quality of our build. Any issues that we have raised post build have been fixed with a minimum of fuss. We had minimal additional costs during the build. The only down side I would say would be their communication towards the end of the build and the hand over process.

Duplexes built with ease
We have just finished building our Duplexes with Hotondo. From the start to the finish it was an easy process. We had no problems at all. Every staff member we encountered was extremely helpful and knowledgeable with nothing being too much trouble. Thanks for a great build and a fantastic job.

Living the dream!
Adam and his team have been absolutely amazing from the very beginning of our house building journey.
It was a new experience for us, so we were a little apprehensive about all that was involved in doing a knock down rebuild. Choosing Hotondo South Coast was the best decision we could have made.
Jodie was our first point of contact and was just lovely and so helpful as was Lauren. We settled on the Catalina design as it suited the size and position of our block but there were some aspects of the design we wanted to change. Adam and his draug...Read more

Can't fault the builder!
Exceptionally well managed build. Every contact was responded to immediately, to our satisfaction. Building completed on time, in spite of unexpected delays. Adam and Jess allowed for our personal choices and were a pleasure to deal with plus coming in on budget. In fact, if you're looking for a top quality builder, who you can trust, for the right price, I wouldn't look further than Adam Cheney!

Perfection ***** 11/10 Smiling every day when I wake up and when I get back home. THE BEST!
From pre-build to hand over I was not only looked after and consulted but also kept up to date on all aspects of the build.
The whole team from Hotondo Homes Nowra in-house staff to Hotondo's sub-contractors were friendly and professional
My build was not a standard design and made me feel like I had a private contractor with the support I received.
I have built 5 houses before my Hotondo and it is by far the pick of them all!

The perfect investment
A big thanks to Hotondo for delivering my duplex on the South Coast.
There was plenty of challenging factors at play but Daniel and Adam worked together to finish an outstanding investment for me.
I managed to sell one before the OC was even issued and the other side has a very happy tenant. The property is neutrally geared and now sits there and grows a nest egg. Thank you to the whole team

Amazing! From start to finished home.

Great First Home Experience
As this is the first home we have ever built, we were very pleased with the whole process. We have heard stories of how 'difficult and stressful' building a house is, but we did not experience this with Hotondo (Waydon) Wallan. Every step of the way we were kept informed on the progress of the build and the team was friendly, easy going and helpful with all of our first home questions and concerns.
The build quality is quite good and you can see that Waydon take pride with their workmanship. There were a few minor hiccups along the way but the...Read more

Fantastic experience
We really appreciated the way Waydon builders (hotondo) group approached our much loved home. They were very professional and really great to work with.
The trades were amazing and showed top workmanship. The communication between the office ladies and the supervisors were second to none.
We will definately build with them again.

Fantastic building experience
After a long process being mucked around by various other building companies we had an appointment with Beth at Hotondo Ulladulla. From the minutes we walked in the door everything was explained to us in detail and instantly we knew they were the company we wanted to build with. We found the whole team extremely approachable and no concerns or questions were ever a problem for them. Not only this, at no point were there ever any hidden costs. We were offered various options throughout the build and even after adding on several extras we still m...Read more
anaged to come in under budget. We could not say a bad word about the whole Hotondo team or our first building experience. We are currently discussing building again as we have had another baby and feel we want a bigger house, my husband and I have both agreed that we will not be approaching any other builders or companies and will be going straight back to Hotondo Home Ulladulla.1 comment

Quality First Home
We would like to thank Jeff, Fiona and the team for building our dream home, we could not be happier. Being our first time building we had no idea how much was involved in building a house. Luckily they made the process as simple as possible and from Start to Finish could not fault their workmanship. We would not hesitate in recommending Hotondo homes to anyone wanting to build a quality home.

Perfect!! Very happy we chose Hotondo Homes Mackay
From our first meeting, we were drawn to Anthony's honesty and thoroughness. This carried on through the whole building process. The team has great workmanship and great eye for details. They kept us up to date with weekly pictures and progress reports. Lynelle has a great eye for colour combination which was fantastic and came in very handy because as a family of 4 our taste in colours differs. They were always happy to meet after hours to fit with our schedules and happy to meet our families distinct needs. We are so grateful we picked Hotondo homes. Anthony, Lynelle, Trish, Steve and Scott. We would recommend this team any time.

A Great Experience from Start to Finish
From the initial design, selections and approvals through construction to handover, the Hotondo Southern Highlands team were a pleasure to work with. Communications were excellent and they were always ready to provide advice and assistance. Not only was our home finished ahead of schedule, the workmanship was excellent and the post-hand over follow up has been first rate. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Andrew M.asked
Once deposit is paid how long till contracts are ready for the banks?
3 answers
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
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.
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
