a very well-built house using a well-managed process, at reasonable cost. Very happy – This was our second build, so we we were far better prepared for the swings and merry-go-round nature of building. We found Darren & the team very flexible to work with, they accommodated our variations rather well and the house was built on time and more or less to budget. We had a few nasty surprises with site costs, considering the land was… Read more · 1
mostly rock and we had a 6m fall diagonally across the land but that was the only negative, which could not have been known until the drilling started. Whilst Hotondo did not offer as many options for colours (basins, doors, handles, tiles, etc.) as other larger volume builders, we found that the costs were not over the top and the quality on offer was well above average. When problems arose (as they do with any build), these were communicated to us very quickly and we found Darren's team very accommodating and reasonable in the resolution of these. We have shown our home to a few prospective customers who were interested in the build and everyone has remarked on what a well-built and solid home this is. The owner/s of the land next door have decided to go with Hotndo too based mostly on the progress and delivery they saw us recevie from Hotondo. Same for the owners of a lot just a few blocks down the road. We love our house and hope to live here a long time. Way after the guarantee period expired, Darren & the team was prepared to come in and fix things for us that were not caught in the first 3 months, at no additional charge. Overall: a very positive experience for something that is so prone to going belly-up. Darren's business sense must be good, his company never shut the doors completely during the dreaded (and probably needless) lockdowns and when several of his competitors have folded today, his houses just keep appearing in our neighbourhood. If we had to do it all over again, we would very likely pick Hotondo South Morang again.
The Real Deal – Hand on heart you will feel at ease with Hotondo South Morang. After a false start with another builder we couldn’t believe the professionalism and service delivered when we changed to Hotondo. The team listen. You have so much choice . They are efficient and incredibly patient towards the client. These guys are the real deal Show details · 1
Thank you for building our dream home Hotondo South Morang – We built our dream home with Hotondo and moved in in December 2019. Darren, Kate (owners) and Ashley were excellent to deal with throughout the whole process. They made the whole build process very easy and provided weekly updates of the progress even including pictures. The quality of the build exceeded all our expectations, all our friends… Read more · 1
that work in the building industry commented how well the finish product was!
We could only find a few things that needed to be fixed after the handover and they have been very quick to rectify these items.
We cannot thank Hotondo Homes enough for building our dream home, a place where we can now start creating amazing memories! Thanks again team, we would recommend you to anyone wanting to build.

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. Show details · 1

We are very impressed to see that Darren and his team build homes with a high standard going above minimum requirements that other volume builders in the new estates seem to do, our house feels like a custom build !!
We cannot wait to see the finished product

Choose this builder, you won't be sorry! – We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Hotondo Sth Morang and their amazing team for everything they’ve done for us so far. Our knockdown-rebuild was a daunting project for us as we had never done anything like it before. We didn’t know where to start but knew that we needed to choose someone reputable, easy to deal with and that we could… Read more · 1
trust.
Enter Hotondo South Morang and their amazing team.
By the time our project had been scoped and we had discussed what was possible, we had confidence that we were in the best hands.
Throughout the planning, selection and initial phases of the build, the team has guided and kept us informed. So much so that we genuinely felt as though ours was the only project they have been managing this year!
We had no prior knowledge of the building process and little idea of what to expect. Several of our friends and family are also currently building with other companies (foolishly). They are envious of our smooth and seamless experience.
Darren and his team have been a tremendous source of confidence for us as we grow our family and build our dream home.

Hotondo South Morang - Great Experience! – We are currently building our first home with Hotondo South Morang and it has been great!!. We were stuffed around by another builder which caused a 2 months delay. A friend then recommended Hotondo as they were building around Diamond Creek. After sending a general inquiry we got a friendly call from Karen the same day. Within the same week, a… Read more · 1
meeting with the builder (Darren) was booked in at the South Morang office. The good thing here was that we dealt directly with the builder . Darren visited our site before the meeting and was prepared to offer 6 designs that could fit on a 12.5m wide sloping block, which was way more than any other builder offered.They provided us with an estimate for an Erskine 225 (Split Level) within 1 week of the meeting.
It took them only 3 weeks to finalize the tender. Amazing! Mark called us over the weekend to do a color selection (so convenient) and tender was ready the following Friday. The turn around time was unbelievable and we recovered some of the lost time. I believe this is where Hotondo understood our situation and sped up things for us and we really appreciate their team effort. Their usual time slots for tenders and other milestones were far more reasonable than other builders. While we sorted out the final bank approval, Hotondo applied for the work permits and we got the permits in less than a month from our deposit date (Great work Sharon). Throughout, they were flexible with payments and made sure that we are comfortable and happy with the experience. They didn't let us miss out on the special deals.
I didn't even know there was one on their website!. During the color selection and finalizing the drawings, they threw in a lot of extras as a good will. We are very happy with the experience. Last week, I was told that works are starting before Christmas, which is great because that saved us a lot of time. The communication was regular and things were clarified up front. The base prices are slightly higher than volume builders but we figured out that Hotondo's quality of built and base price offerings are upgrade options from the volume builders. It worked out to the same cost per square meters yet better quality and heaps better team to work with. Have already recommended Hotondo to a couple of friends and colleagues. We received quotes from 12 other builders and chose Hontondo due to best value for time & money!
