I trust Darren with all that he tells me, and I would definitely recommend Hotondo Homes to everyone that I encounter. Thankyou so much AnnaMaria. Thankyou very much Darren.

    Our journey started with a display home visit and went from there. We had never built a house before as you hear about all the horror stories. We decided to finally give it a go with the Birchgrove 164, and were pleasantly surprised. First we dealt with Anna who was a pleasure to deal with explaining everything to us and also answering our never ending questions. The build got under way and we cannot express enough what an absolute pleasure it was to deal with the Hotondo staff in Melton. Darren was fantastic and was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had a long the way and was very approachable at all times. If I ever had to email him about anything he always got back to me ASAP, which was fantastic so you are not left wondering. Vesna in the office was always on hand whenever I needed to call about anything and always made sure I wasn't forgotton about. Our site supervisor Rob I can't speak more highly about, he kept everything on track and if I needed to get in contact with him about anything he always answered immediately and was an absolute pleasure to deal with also. We are now in our fabulous house all because of these guys and couldn't be happier. I would not hesitate to build a house through Hotondo Melton, it was such a smooth process and stress free, and I thank all of you and would highly recommend you to anyone.

    I built with Darvale Homes (Hotondo) 3 years ago. The process was one of the easiest to go through. Darren and Vesna run the business flawlessly. From the initial consultation with Darren, he stepped us through all aspects of the build and also linked us to a mortgage broker. The build itself was extremely smooth with only 1 minor issue that was picked up on early and corrected immediately. Darren ensured that all the products used were of a very high standard and overall, we were ecstatic with the result. During the build at frame stage, I requested a minor change, which was readily accepted and I was able to add my own details as applicable with no issue from Darren. Any and all communication initiated by me was promptly answered to my satisfaction. I then returned to Darvale 5 months ago to have an addition/modification completed as their quote came under an initial quote from another company. Once again, Darren excelled in delivering a fabulous product. I have recommended Darvale to a number of colleagues and friends, and will continue to do so. I don't intend on moving any time soon, but if I was, I would definitely be choosing Darvale to build with again. And again! Thank you, Darren and Vesna, and team!

Frequently asked questions

How much do builders typically charge?
Builder costs vary widely depending on the job type and complexity. Minor repairs are generally much less than extensions, small builds or structural alterations that need foundations, framing or specialist input. Most quotes include a call‑out fee plus labour and materials, and the page shows live pricing to help you compare options.
Do builders charge call-out fees?
Call‑out fees are common and typically cover travel and an initial inspection or assessment. This fee is usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after‑hours or weekend attendance often attracts higher rates. Ask whether a call‑out or minimum charge applies when requesting quotes.
Do builders need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Building work generally needs to be carried out by a licensed builder in every state and territory, and NSW builders are regulated by NSW Fair Trading. Builders should be able to provide their state builder/contractor licence number and show appropriate insurances and ABN/GST registration. In Victoria, domestic building insurance is required above a state threshold for certain contracts.
