Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 09, 2009 10:38 am Hi all, My partner and I are currently interested in a couple of houses from Hotondo and Marksman Homes. We are first time builders and are very nervous about it all so are trying to do as much research as possible before making a decision. Your experiences with either of these builders would be much appreciated! Thank you!! Re: Anyone built with Hotondo or Marksman Homes? 2Jul 09, 2009 10:44 am We had looked at a couple of Hotondo Homes in the early stages of research. Actually a display has just gone up two doors down from my house!! Ive found the staff to be helpful and honest. I didnt get to the stage of making a deposit or plans drawn up and we went with another design and builder. I have heard a few yucky things about their builds and also some good stuff too But you get that with everybuilder dont you?? I havent heard of Marksmen homes. Where are you looking at building?

We will be building in Wombarra (Illawarra region, NSW). Marksman are an Illawarra builder and only build in the Illawarra which is probably why you haven't heard of them (I noticed you are in QLD). Re: Anyone built with Hotondo or Marksman Homes? 4Jul 09, 2009 10:55 am AHH ok. It is so hard. I think we look at about 100 homes before deciding. Many a weekend wandering our display villages. because there are so many mixed reviews out there it makes it very hard. our builder had many bad reviews, there are topics on Homeone about how bad people think they are, but we think theyre great! We just decided to go with them based on our own experience with the staff and value for money. I think you can only rely on your own experiences to decide. Take into account others reviews but dont base your decision primarily on that. Just my opinion. Good luck with your selction. Living in Caloundra Thread****** Lovin my house all finished!!!

Thanks for your feedback! I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14407 Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently.
