Like most builders these days you are in the hands of subcontracted trades so hope you get some good ones. Get your own design and drafting done as Hudson Ridge's work in that area is poorly managed. Get a good independent inspector with regular site visits. After 12 months we have discovered our windows are either faulty or haven't been sealed… Read more

properly and major damage done to walls and carpets. Questionable 'Attention to Detail' when they can't even install a window properly. See photo...

Thanks Hudson Ridge for building us the perfect home. The quality and attention to detail is exceptional. Everyone in the team was amazing, really taking the stress out of the whole process. Right from the first visit to the display home, Kara was endlessly patient talking us through our options and Eloise’s advice on colours and finishes turned… Read more

out just beautifully in real life. Hudson Ridge are incredibly flexible. Marnie and Steph were more than happy to spend the time with us to customise the floorplan to get it just right and everyone supported us to live on-site in our ‘tiny home’ through the build. Construction was really fast. Phil is a legend! He kept in touch at every step and was always there on site checking progress. He picked up little things we wouldn’t have even noticed and so the end result is flawless. Can’t speak more highly of our experience with Hudson Ridge.

Incredible finishes and communication – Working with Hudson ridge has been smooth sailing. My supervisor was a excellent organiser and communicator. All the trades have done an Awesome job with the build. I did come across some rock in the process that wasn’t planned but a hurdle we jumped together. Can’t see myself building with anyone else! Show details

Amazing, flawless process, stunning family home. Thank you – This is the third time I've built and by far this has been the best experience. The standard inclusions are what first attracted me to Hudson Ridge, they include items that other builders charge extra for. All staff were friendly, professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Hudson Ridge even helped me find the land. My finished home is impeccable. Credit where credit is due, I couldn't recommend enough. Show details

We would highly recommend Hudson Ridge if you are looking for a builder that offers a seamless build process, providing many more standard inclusions than other builders we had considered. From the display house initial discussions to the finished product the process has been outstanding. Kara, Georgie and Margie were extremely helpful and… Read more

knowledgeable, with nothing being too much trouble. Eloise’s impressive skills in interior design helped us feel comfortable and confident about our choices and colour selections. Sarah as contract administrator was very efficient, making sure we were fully informed about the payment process. Once the build started onsite Matt made sure we were kept updated and again nothing was too much trouble for him to explain to us. In fact the couple of queries we had for Matt he explained them before we had even asked the question! The trades Matt manages have been outstanding and the high quality of our new home is a testament to Matt’s professionalism and investment in our build!

His attention to detail and clear communication made the build run smoothly and gave us great confidence throughout the process. The build quality is outstanding, with great attention to detail and a finish that exceeded our expectations. The site was well managed, and the build progressed smoothly without unnecessary delays. We’re extremely happy with our new home and would confidently recommend Hudson Ridge Builders to anyone considering a knock-down rebuild or new build. Thank you to the whole team, and especially Phil, for delivering such a great result.

A big thank you to the Hudson Ridge team for our beautiful new home.

We visited a Hudson Ridge display home on a whim. We were greeted by Dan who talked us… Read more

through various options, builder plans to full custom builds, inclusions & process, putting Hudson Ridge firmly on our radar & our shortlist.

Months later, guided by Kara we began our custom build journey, drafting by Steph, colours with Eloise, contracts with Isabel… all wonderful to deal with.

Site scrape to handover took 9.5 months, led by Matt & thanks also to Jackson for assistance in the bumps along the way. Matt & the team of trades have done a fantastic job and on handover we were presented with a home that we absolutely love.

And finally to those who worked on our project in the background, thank you for everything you have done to make our wonderful new home our reality.

Our site supervisor was exceptional, demonstrating great attention to detail and ensuring that every aspect of the build was completed to a high standard. It was clear that quality workmanship was a priority, as all the trades involved delivered great results.

Now that our home is complete, we couldn’t be happier. The entire process was much faster than we expected, and the end result has exceeded our expectations. The high standard of the build is evident and we absolutely love living in our new home. A huge thank you to the entire team for making this such a positive experience!

grateful.

From start to finish, the entire team has been phenomenal. The sales team—Gaara, Dan, Georgie, and Jade—are absolutely incredible. They were approachable, knowledgeable, and so supportive throughout the entire process. Their expertise and guidance made every step seamless.

The pre-site admin team, Marnie and Mel, were beyond amazing. Their efficiency and professionalism ensured everything was organised perfectly before the build even began. A huge shoutout to Steph, the draftee, whose impeccable attention to detail made my floor plan absolutely perfect. She captured every little detail I wanted, and the result speaks for itself.

Eloise, the interior designer and colours specialist, is nothing short of phenomenal. Her eye for detail, style, and practicality brought my vision to life. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise!

Once we were on-site, Jackson, the construction manager, was incredible, ensuring every stage of the build ran smoothly. Every single trade involved was fantastic—professional, skilled, and so respectful of our home. But a special mention must go to Ian, our site manager. Ian is nothing short of a superstar. His attention to detail and the personal touches he added throughout the build were simply unmatched. It’s clear he takes immense pride in his work, and it truly shows in the finished product. Ian is a credit to Hudson Ridge, and we were so lucky to have him leading the charge.

We will 100% be using Hudson Ridge again for any future projects. Their professionalism, quality, and dedication to excellence make them stand out in every way. To anyone in the Geelong-Ballarat region, I highly, highly recommend Hudson Ridge Builders. You simply cannot fault them!

Thank you, Hudson Ridge, for building not just a house, but a home that we will cherish forever.

Amazing outcome in difficult times – I had to undertake this project on my own and had never built a house previously. I could not have been happier with Hudson Ridge. From the staff at the Display Home, through the design and planning process, and then the building process itself, I had great service. The Site Supervisor was in regular contact with me throughout and the final… Read more

result was of the same standard and quality as the Display Home. The features we changed from the original plan were done with enthusiasm, innovation and flair and really enhanced the final result. Despite the widely advertised shortage of materials and cost over-runs, none of this affected my build and the cost came in exactly as agreed and in the time frame promised. In fact no one can believe that my house was completed in this time-frame. I have no hesitation in recommending Hudson Ridge and am so pleased I chose them.

request/enquiry we had (not forgetting a couple of 'changing our mind' moments) - both promptly and professionally. Once the build commenced, we were kept well informed by both the Building and Site Supervisors right through the entire process. We had 2-3 queries/concerns during the build process and the Site Supervisors that we dealt with each time were swift and professional in their response and we were able to meet an agreeable/positive outcome on each occasion. Many of the 'standard' items in the Hudson Ridge range were already on our 'wish list', so everything just seemed to fall into place. The final cost was basically the same as the original expected cost. We are extremely happy with the quality/design of the construction and the entire process.

Great build, great people – To Whom it may concern Review of Hudson Ridge build process. About 12 months ago my wife and I began the process of building our new home with Hudson Ridge Ballarat. We have now been living in it for just over 4 months. There was a Hudson Ridge home open for inspection across the road from where we were living after selling our previous home, and… Read more

we thought we would have a look. It was a plan that we had previously looked at but had decided against until we actually walked through it. We went to the Hudson Ridge display and met J. who we would meet with many times over the next few weeks. J. was sensational to work with. He was patient with us and all our questions, he responded when he said he would, and he had the plan altered to our requirements. He allowed for us to include touches that made the home “Ours” and not just a repetition of a standard plan. We soon agreed to the build and cost and the plan started to become real. We met S. in the Hudson Ridge office in Sturt Street who went through the contracts with us clarifying points and who would become our main contact during the build process. S. was a delight to work with. She was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and informative. S. put up with our questions, dealt with our many variations through the build and assisted in resolving any questions. She even kept us informed on what action was expected to be completed every week once the build started. We attended the Geelong Hudson Ridge Showroom to finalise colours, finishes, fittings and the myriad of other things that go into a new home. We were guided by N who ensured we coordinated our selections so we would be happy with the end result. And we are extremely happy with our choices. R was our Site Supervisor. He too was friendly, helpful, approachable and extremely competent. He was great to work with and kept things on track and ensured the job was completed to a high standard. He ensured the build was completed with a minimum of fuss. Any issues were communicated and resolved; all variations were included as requested the house was completed to a high standard and in great time. Our Build experience with Hudson Ridge was exceptional. We are impressed by their people, professionalism, quality, communication and most importantly the results. We would not hesitate to build with them again or to recommend them to others. Thank you, Hudson Ridge.
