Hotondo Homes - Canberra

The best

I didn't end up building with Bruce and Katina but I will say this - They well and truly pass the vibe check.Bruce and Katina are honest, upfront and hard working people. They responded to every email and phone call extremely quickly. I would recommend Hotondo Canberra to anyone building a new home.

Bruce and Katina were a pleasure to deal with during our build, and it's clear that they are highly experienced in building quality homes.This was our experience:* They did what they say they'd do.* They were open and communicative throughout the entire process.* They've been quick to remedy the minor issues we've had post construction.* We felt they showed time and time again that they both cared greatly about the outcome.* They worked with quality professional tradespeople.* We ended up with exactly the home we wanted (everything met or exceeded our expectations of quality), and there were no nasty surprises with the budget!During the design phase, we gave Katina and Bruce a big list of requirements in an email (lounge room close to kitchen so we can keep an eye on the kids while cooking, walk through pantry into laundry, two storeys to retain as much yard space as possible etc.) and they worked with an architect to bring those requirements to life and gave us a floor plan that fulfilled every need. Katina was attentive and gave us great advice on the design elements. Bruce clearly has a wealth of knowledge and was able to estimate and advise on technical aspects of the build. Both Bruce and Katina were clear about costs.During construction, Bruce was a wizard at orchestrating the numerous tradespeople, and Adrian, his building manager worked tirelessly to ensure each component was delivered up to scratch (and being the handyman he is, often got in and fixed or completed things himself to save time). Katina ensured we were consistently updated and promptly answered any questions we had and accommodated every change and variation we threw at her.Our home doesn't resemble anything we reviewed from the Hotondo catalogue - it ended up being a bespoke design, but you'd swear Bruce and Katina had built this thing before based on the way they handled the project from start to finish. If you want a trusted builder for your home, we wholeheartedly recommend Bruce and Katina. You will not be disappointed.
