New House Build – Caroline and Trent from Hotondo Inverloch were great to deal with from day 1. From initial design concepts through to finalisation of all of our finishes selections, Caroline was professional and attentive to all of our requirements. Once we started construction, Trent and his team were organised and professional. The build did take a bit… Read more ·  1

longer than initially thought but they were always open and transparent in letting us know what was happening. The final product is of a very high standard with minimal defects. We have built before with volume builders in Melbourne and this was a much better experience. I would highly recommend building with Trent and Caroline from Hotondo Inverloch.

Fabulous building experience from beginning to end – From our first visit to the display house, to the handover for our new home, our build with Hotondo was positive, responsive and stressfree. Caroline and Trent worked closely with us to create a flexible floor plan and design that included all our preferences and met the needs of our block orientation and our budget. The end result is a spacious… Read more ·  1

and beautiful home we love that meets all of our needs. Throughout the build, we were always kept up to date and queries were responded to quickly and positively. It has been great to have a smooth building experience with no issues at all and to know that we have had the benefit of building with a local builder with close ties to the community.

Our building journey has been incredibly positive and we would not hesitate to recommend Hotondo for the high quality of the build, their attention to detail and their responsiveness and positivity.

Thank you for making the process of building our new home such a positive one from start to finish.

The Best Builders We Have Ever Dealt With! – After experiencing an exasperating 2 years in Melbournes, Vic lockdown over Covid-19, we decided to do a knockdown-rebuild on an old holiday home we had in the seaside town of Inverloch Vic.

Caroline run a reliable, professional business and they, and their team where a delight to deal with. They help us on every step of the development, from building design, options, interior details and cost estimates. The building process was exemplary and we were constantly informed on the build progress. There was a slight delay to completion, and this was due to Covid issues. The whole team run a spotless clean build site, which is reassuring to any owner and shows the attention to detail that the Hotondo Inverloch team take with their projects. Thankyou Hotondo Inverloch for making the building process comfortable and stress free. We highly recommended these builders.

Dream Beach House – Caroline, Trent and their team should be very proud of themselves and their business, making dream homes. Right from the beginning, everything is taken care of: they modified a home design to suit our needs, handled all aspects of the planning application and getting drafts.

build at different stages which was fantastic. The fun part is getting to choose all the interior with Caroline in her showroom. They are nothing but wonderful to work with, honest, reliable, scheduling runs on time and if it doesn't, it's through no fault of their own. Especially during lockdown when we couldn't visit, they just made everything work, Caroline and Trent will always make sure you are happy with everything and if something arises it will most certainly be attended to and they definitely come back after the build to do the maintenance check list, not like other builders.

If you want a trustworthy building company look no further, you will be so happy as we couldn't have had a better experience and would highly recommend building with them, as they are the best in Gippsland and Bass coast.

My dream home – I chose to build with Hotondo Inverloch after extensive research and 3rd party referrals and I’m glad I did. I have a beautifully built home that I am proud to call my own. As a first time for me to build a home, there seems a lot to organise and decisions to be made. Caroline made the colour, flooring and cosmetic choices easy and Trent oversaw a… Read more ·  1

smooth build. Despite navigating Covid, the build wasn’t significantly impacted which shows how well organised and planned their process is. I didn’t want a cookie cutter design and although I chose one of their base plans, I made changes to room sizes and layout to suit my needs. Nothing was an issue and everything was happily accommodated. Caroline kept me well informed of progress and next steps so I was completely comfortable in what was happening. The end result is a beautifully built, distinctive home that I have been able to put my own style and touches on. If you want a quality build, easy to deal with and flexible team, I’d highly recommend Trent and Caroline to build your home.

continued. Despite building right through the middle of COVID, including building industry supply issues, we were kept informed along the way and the project remained on track to get the keys before Xmas. In the end we got the keys on Dec 22 and have been trilled with our new home, so much so, we spend more time here now than we do in Melbourne. As first time builders, we couldn't be more pleased with the experience we had with Hotondo Inverloch and the final product. We would recommend building with Trent & Caroline any time.

Right from the start we found Trent and Caroline to be very easy going but also very professional to deal with and to be honest we couldn’t have asked for much more.

several reasons, like the way they limit the amount of houses they build per year so they can focus on quality, they use local trades people and keep jobs in the local area, and also the way that Caroline takes the time to help you through the colour selection process and chase up all of the hard to find finishing touches it really makes you feel special. I suppose the most important thing about choosing a builder is to find one that really cares about what they do and Hotondo Inverloch do really care about building a quality home.

experienced, local trades was important to us. The reason we chose Hotondo Inverloch was because they had a great reputation for both and they didn't disappoint.

Caroline guided us through the entire process from designing, planning, to colour and finish. She was quick to respond to emails and was able to compliment what we wanted with her knowledge and advice. Trent's building competency and matter of fact approach really put us at ease. The one small issue we had with our hot water service when we moved in was quickly dealt with which we appreciated.

We have a beautiful home, one that we are proud of. We would like to thank Trent and Caroline for their personal attention and hard work.

We are more then happy to give Hotondo Inverloch a genuine 5 star rating.
