Our house with a view
We moved into our new home just before Christmas. Paul and Sharon really pushed to have us in before Christmas and we really appreciated their support throughout the whole building process.
We love our new home and cannot recommend Hotondo Junee highly enough. Our build was on a sloping block and we made some alterations to the design that Hotondo had. We were so impressed with their professionalism, support and communication that resulted in our great home. Love our sunset views!

We are so lucky to have an office in Junee. It’s important that we support our local businesses.

I'm delighted with my new home.
I have recently moved into my new Hotondo Home in Ararat. The project was very well managed from the initial discussions through to completion. The staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, dealt with any issues quickly and efficiently and I found their colour consultant most helpful. The quality of the workmanship is excellent and importantly to me, local tradesmen were employed. Thanks to Russell & Jenny Pearse and their team at Hotondo Homes in Ararat for a job well done and I would certainly recommend them as the builders for your new home.

We are ecstatic with our new Hotondo Home!
Chris Dodt and his team have built us our dream home and we are ecstatic with the result. Chris took the time to sit down with us personally to plan the appearance and layout. My husband had very specific requests about the position and appearance of our new home to complement our block of land. I honestly believe Chris was the only builder capable of building our home the way we wanted. Chris took us through every step of the building process. His team are all local tradesmen and they were very approachable. His team regularly consulted us for...Read more
our opinions on all the options available. They customised timber partition walls for us that are beautiful. Any questions we had were promptly addressed. The build itself was very smooth running; the Hotondo team made it very easy and stress free. The results are amazing! The quality, detail and finish is impeccable. I would highly recommend Hotondo homes, Chris Dodt and his team to any of my family or friends. We had a vision, and Chris built our dream home. In fact, he created a masterpiece.1 comment

Highly recommend building with Hotondo Homes Mackay!
From start to finish we could not fault Hotondo Homes Mackay. Working with Anthony, Lynelle and the team was a pleasure. There were no hidden surprises at all, the quality of the finishes in our home are wonderful. They managed our build superbly. We would highly, highly recommend speaking with (and going with) Hotondo Homes Mackay if you are in the market to build a new home.

Above Expectations!
Building a new home can be a very stressful process, but fortunately for us, we built with Hotondo!
Right from the beginning we worked closely with the team to get a design that we loved, then we were able to pick so many of our selections right there in the office as they had many samples available right there for us to choose from. This saved us having to spend hours going from store to store and looking online to find what our options even were.
Once the build actually began, we received updates from the team to let us know what has been do...Read more

The sales team were very attentive & helpful.
Emma our client liaison was extremely helpful and very switched on, very pleased we had her looking after us. Emma went above and beyond to help with picking up our keys due to us not being local, she allowed us to meet her outside standard office hours.
We did not have much contact with the site supervisor apart from arranged inspections, for some reason we were directed to deal with the office only. Supervisor did change during our build and we never actually got to see the replacement supervisor ...Read more

Great Build experience!
Our engagement with Beth and Daniel was very positive from the beginning. We were particularly impressed with their patience while we planned our build over approximately 12 months. This involved many meetings, display visits, white good selections etc.. We found the actual build completely stress free as Hotondo responded to our changes and general progress very positively. The house was built on time and on budget. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hotondo Ulladulla to anyone wishing to build in the area, great service, great value.
Many thanks to Beth and Daniel at Hotondo Ulladulla.

My great home
Geoff and his team did a great job building and organising my home. They are a team of very friendly and approachable people. The workmanship on my house is of a very high standard. Geoff has responded and sorted out every issue I have had since I have moved in in a friendly and very professional manner. I would definitely recommend Geoff and his team from Hotondo Homes for any future clients looking to build.

Love my new home
Thanks Hotondo Warragul!
I absolutely love my Hotondo home so much. The workmanship and quality finish’s are amazing and exceeded my expectations by far right from start to finish and the service they offer after moving in as well. They assured us that if we had any issues they were there to help and resolve it! This is what makes Hotondo Warragul worth it in the end.. Thanks for being patient with us especially with any adjustments and the one million questions we threw at you sorry Jeff!! :) but thank you for getting our home completed before Christmas it meant the world to us. I would most definitely build with Hotondo again.

The build was managed very well. Great conversation and communication levels.
Trades have left a little to be desired but all issues have been dealt with by great staff at Hotondo.

"Building with Hotondo Homes Toowoomba was a dream come true for us.
From the very start we felt at ease when we first sat down and had a chat with Shay in what we were looking for in building our dream home.
Steve was great in coming down to our block of land and suggesting what style/plan we should look at using.
The professionalism was outstanding by Hotondo Homes and was a breath of fresh air!
Thank you again Steve, Shay and the rest of the Hotondo Home employees in making our dream home for our family a reality."

Extremely happy clients
It was obvious from our first meeting with Adam that we were in good hands. Everything was explained ... our needs, requirements and budget considered. All workmanship throughout construction was high quality and there was consistent contact with Builder, Staff and and Site Manager, Kel. All issues were minor and dealt with accordingly. The final cost was as quoted and maintenance follow up with the company has been very much appreciated. As stated ... we are very happy with our new holiday home and would highly recommend Adam and his team to anyone building a new home!

Practically perfect in every way!
After a terrible customer service experience with a different builder and losing my deposit, I can honestly say that I wouldn't be in my new home if it wasn't for Brett and the team at Hotondo Homes, Ballarat.
Brett worked wonders to meet my concerns, budget, and specifications, yet he maintained all inclusions, and upon moving in I couldn't be happier! Other than two small hiccups - site supervisor changed half-way through, and build time went one week over - the end result is a high-quality (and overly customised) build for a sensational price. We moved in just before Christmas, which ensured the perfect end to 2022!
Hotondo might not ever want to deal with me again, as I'm super OCD, but I'd definitely build with them every time.

The care and attention to detail and genuine need to make our dreams come true.
I’d like to thank Shay and Steve and the whole Hotondo Homes Toowoomba Team for an amazing build experience. Shay was right beside us at every step of the process and Steve was always available when we had any construction questions.
We were a bit apprehensive about the whole process of building our first home but the Hotondo process was a breeze. I never felt like I was asking too much or being too needy. Shay was there with every answer I wanted.
At the various site walk-throughs, Shay and Steve showed us exactly what was happening with Our...Read more
Home, what had been completed since the last site visit and what was being done next. Shay was almost as excited about the process as we were and I know that she will be part of our lives for a very long time. We walked into this believing that this would be our Forever Home and it may be, but, if we ever decide to build a new Forever Home, I can say that the care and attention to detail and genuine need to make our dreams come true on this project, have cemented our construction future with Hotondo Homes Toowoomba.1 comment

Down to earth, very helpful and easy to deal with!
The team at Hotondo have been extremely helpful in the pre-construction process. Not at all pushy which is a massive plus. Have chipped in with ideas and helped work through any obstacles due to our irregular shaped block. Happy to tell us how it is rather than give excuses or do the usual sales pitch. A very personable experience so far.

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
