We looked at building our dream home through a couple of different building company's and I'm so happy we decided to build with Hotondo Homes Wallan. Customising our plans, choosing our colours, getting progress updates and doing build walk throughs with the team was all really easy, professional and stress free. Everyone that we dealt was… Read more · 1
approachable, happy to help and answered any questions we had along the way. We were involved in every step which helped us achieve the results of our dream home that we wanted. The quality and finishes of our home are perfect and just how we envisioned it. We were amazed with the finishes of paint and plaster, the measurements are spot on with the plans. We had the flexibility to lay our own floors which was a bonus (husband is a floor layer) We didn't have any issues or problems with our build at all and even better there was no surprise costs along the way. We are happy to say that we built with Hotondo Homes Wallan and if we were ever to build again we wouldn't hesitate building with Hotondo Homes Wallan again.

I thought building was meant to be stressful. But our experience was amazing. And the quality of the house build exceeded our expectations. But more so, dealing with Keegan and Kalen and the rest of the team was a delight. They are transparent, trustworthy and just good people to deal with. Can not rate them highly enough.

and ensure we were happy and satisfied customers. We were kept well informed with regular updates throughout the build, changes were accommodated and site visits including meeting with trades were also facilitated.

She knew exactly what I had in mind and made this process a really enjoyable one. Once the house started Kalen kept us updated about all the progress that was being made and was happy to meet us on site. Keegan and Kalen were always happy to answer any questions we had throughout the build. Nothing was too hard. Matt was amazing at making sure all the products were available on time so nothing was delayed or held up. Lynne was fantastic to talk to in the office and made the payment process an easy one. The finish of the house is fantastic. We can not fault our forever home. Thank you so much Hotondo Homes Wallan. If we ever leave our forever home, you will be our first choice next time.
Simply The Best local builder! – Building a home is usually a frustrating and challenging process. It is difficult to get good builders and we were fortunate with HOTONDO in Wallan and the Marc brothers. My husband being in the building industry for quite a few years as a site manager, told me before we start building that it was surely to find something at fold during the… Read more · 1
building process - because no one is perfect. But at his surprise he found nothing. Despite the challenges of COVID and relevant supply issues everything went according to plans and time schedule (actually the house was handed over a couple of weeks earlier). The entire Hotondo team was fantastic to work with. They listed to our concerns and were available to us every step of the way. They were prompt to resolve any issues that came up and very flexible with changes we made.
After living in the house for 2 months there was a small leak from the hydronic heating, luckily not inside the house. We contacted them and the next day someone came to inspect while they were looking at the issue we told them for a stiff door handle and they fixed it straight away. After the inspection they contact the plumber who came the next working day and fixed the problem.
This experience was a totally positive one for us. We love our home and it's truly our dream home. We thank you for your professionalism and the way you treated us. We can't recommend your company highly enough.

family look at several blocks that we were interested in but they also gave us several options as to how we could build on our sloping block which is not something you get if you choose a volume builder. The teams attention to detail is very impressive not only with the overall build but at our colour appointment Mallory's advice and guidance was greatly appreciated by us making it a non stressful and enjoyable experience. Kalen was our SS and no matter how small my question was during the build he took the time to answer and explain things to us. We had several visits throughout our build which were always at a time that suited us as we both work which we really appreciated. Keegan and Kalen are such friendly, approachable and professional people that we felt comfortable throughout our build. We love our finished family home.

collaboratively to build our dream home. They were incredibly flexible with changing their pre-made design to fit our needs which is not so common with other bigger builders. They allowed us to source our own appliances independently but installed them all for us. We had small issues (mostly surrounding supply chain problems) but they were handled very well and were transparent about them at all times. The final cost met the exact budget we had signed the contract for and we couldn’t be happier with the final product. We couldn’t recommend them more highly! We’d like to sincerely thank the Hotondo Homes Wallan team for making this entire process as easy as possibly, and setting us up with our dream home!

We love our modest custom home and would build with Hotondo Wallan again. The team including Keegan, Melissa, Matt, Kalen, Mallory, and Lynne are professional, knowledgeable, and communicative. They are also very patient, accommodating, and honest. We had the opportunity to meet with several tradies onsite to discuss and confirm finer details like lighting, fittings, and fixtures, which made us feel really involved and gave us a lot of comfort that pride was taken. All the tradespeople we met were hardworking and we thank them all for the finished product. We had very high standards and Hotondo Wallan were able to deliver most of our expectations. Hotondo Wallan were a pleasure to deal with and we hope that all future customers experience the same commitment, attention to detail, and satisfaction.

for our kitchen. Matt is not just sending order or make sure materials arrive on time but his the most honest person who tell us that our pantry was not in his liking so he helped us move things around and redrawn 2 time until we are happy with it. Kalen is the nicest supervisor I ever met. He text and call us every step of the build telling us what and where is the build up to, even send pictures throught when we wouldn't make the trip due to covid. Keegan, his always make sure we are well look after. Talking them even on the phone or in person, you will feel like you have known them for years. Very friendly team to be doing business with. Highly recommend.

is what made our decision to choose them so easy. After our first meeting, everything has been nothing but smooth sailings. We've made many changes to our plan along the way by customising room sizes, moving rooms, changing bricks etc. And they've been so accommodating to all our requests without any complaints or complications. From meeting the team for the first time, to sitting down and signing the final contract, the experience has been pleasantly easy and communication has been fantastic. They've been patient with us throughout the whole process and everything has been moving promptly at the same time. It's so nice to not feel like you're being treated like a "number" and that stems from people who actually care about their customers and what they do. This is our third time building and without a doubt, Hotondo Homes Wallan has been the best by far. Can't recommend them enough!

Being a first home buyer and first time building it was all very new to me, but the staff were fantastic in helping me in every way they could and making sure they helped me to understand every step in the process. They made the experience exciting and enjoyable. If I ever felt overwhelmed or confused the team help to reassure me and communicated with me the whole time. I ran into some issues during Covid to get my finance on time, but that was no issue for the team at Hotondo, Wallan. They put my best interest at heart and did everything they could for me to get my plans underway and were more than happy to wait until I was ready.
