Excellent quality and service
We have built our first home with Stroud Port Macquarie. When we originally looked at builders, Stroud was on the more expensive side compared with some other local project home companies like Adenbrook and Coral Homes. We spent a long time doing research, and in the end Stroud came out on top for value and quality for money, and included a lot of the things that we would be paying to upgrade with other builders.
Our experience with this process has been a smooth and relatively stress-free one. Joel, Alla and Allison have put in a great deal o...Read more
f effort and care into helping us build our dream home, and we are so pleased to have worked with them all. The build was well managed throughout the process and we are very satisfied with the quality of the products and workmanship. All the finishings are as described and are of good quality. The building process was not without issue, however, these were handled in a timely and professional manner by the Stroud team. We have identified some minor defects before Christmas which Stroud were prompt to investigate. In regards to cost, we made some minor additions and upgrades to the home throughout the process, however, this did not add greatly to the projected cost as we had made some allowances for upgrades at the beginning of the process. Throughout the process we had been able to ask lots of questions and been given information that helped us make informed decisions about our build. Thank you Joel, Alla and Allison for all your hard work and commitment to our project, we are extremely happy with our new home and it is more beautiful than we imagined. We are so pleased to have chosen Stroud to build with, your communication and organisation throughout took a lot of the stress out of the process for us, no doubt this may have caused you all to shoulder some of the stress, so thank you. As happy as we are in our new home, if we ever did build again, we would 100% choose to build with Stroud Port Macquarie. In the mean time we would definitely recommend this local company to anyone thinking of building: the price might be higher than other project homes but if you're looking for a great build quality, excellent service and upgrade quality inclusions, this is the place. If you're interested in building, have a look at their display home, that's exactly the quality you'll be getting.1 comment

Great team delivering our custom designed and quality House and Granny Flat...ON time and within budget!
The team at Stroud Northern Rivers were great to deal with. From the sales manager who helped to visualise and complete our plan and liaise with the council, the team we worked with on finish and colour selections, and the building supervisor who was in contact with us regularly to talk about how the build was progressing and discuss any issues.
Communication was clear and efficient.
Having built with another company before we were impressed at the standard inclusions that Stroud offers. They were also committed to sourcing cost effective no...Read more
n standard inclusions i.e. an upgraded floor covering. We have a sloping site which meant added engineering challenges. Stroud were very transparent in the initial stages with costings which allowed us to make important decisions about the build. During contruction there were inevitably small issues, that were formally logged and fixed accordingly in a timely manner.

Wouldn’t want to do it again.
Our construction started in April 2017. Due to a design flaw which was blamed on us construction was stopped at our request and new plans drawn up at our expense and approved. Approval given in July 2017, we didn’t get the keys until August 2018 (26 week build expected).
Our windows at the front and rear are off centre - we didn’t change them, just how they were drawn up. Again our fault for not noticing. Floor tiles were badly scratched, some replaced. Very poor quality tile but surely they should have been protected until handover. Alfresco d...Read more

Easy, straight forward and no nonsense
We built an investment property with the Stroud Homes Wagga team and everyone from John to Tammy in the office and to Brett onsite were nothing short of amazing!
John leads his team with a no nonsense approach and tells you as it is, he is straight forward and truly comes across as working with the clients best interest at heart.
I physically visited the site 2 times over the build and trusted the team to fill me in for the rest!
I would highly recommend using Stroud Wagga to build your home or investment property.

Dream Build delivered on time and on budget!
We firstly met with Luke in the sales process who talked us through their duplex designs and previous customers homes.
They didn’t have much of a range but were able to customise to our needs. This was a wonderful surprise.
We spoke about our finishes and desired budget. Which Luke took greatly into consideration.
As per Luke’s promises, he came back to us after 2 days with a quote within our budget.
Once the deposit was paid, there was a smooth process; Larnah from head office contacted us not long after and walked us through the contract process for colours and tiles with a great variety of choices.

Our build started quite slowly with some issues with the land but once this had been sorted out it was full go ahead with the slab being laid quickly. Communication while picking all our selections was great and John and Tammy were great with our choices and honest if they thought it wouldn't work.
The communication was always great whilst building and Brian let us know what was happening and when he needed us to look at something. We had a tight deadline due to a changeover on our behalf and Stroud worked extremely hard with all the trades to ...Read more

Excellent and flexible
We built with Stroud Wagga 18 months ago. During our build it was managed so well. Brian and John kept in contact with us at al times. The workmanship of our house is of the best quality. People still coming to visit us always say how good the house looks and how well it is built. If we had any issues during the build we bought them up straight away and it was never a problem to fix it up at the time. A few small things we have had the trades back to change since moving in and again never a problem. We found all the trades very friendly and rel...Read more
iable. We came every day to look at our house while it was being built it was amazing to see the house evolve as each step happened. Our final cost was not to different to the estimated cost. If we added or changed things we were notified of cost straight away. Tammy and John we very honest and upfront people. We now consider them our friend. I would recommend anyone to build with Stroud Homes we love love love our house and look forward to many many more years here enjoying it.1 comment

Best experience, highly recommended
We did not have much experience in building house or related paperwork. After my wife choose Stroud Homes, we have been relaxed and know that Fred and the whole Stroud home team will do their best and will build the home as their own. No hidden cost like other builders. Stroud Homes has done beyond what they suppose to do. Stroud team has been really friendly and helpful during our queries. Always professional yet friendly team.

Smooth sailing from start to finish
From start to finish our build with Peter and the Stroud Homes Tamworth team was flawless. From initial contact to handover the communication was fantastic from both Pete and build supervisor Michael. We loved our Friday afternoon updates and knowing exactly what was happening during the following week.
The quality of work was on point and any issue that arose was dealt with before we were even aware of the problem.
We knew exactly what our entire build was going to cost before we signed any contracts so we knew exactly what to expect.

Our first experience with Stroud started 2 years ago with Toby, he could envisage our dream build and was very confident about it becoming a reality. Even through home loan issues, Stroud stood by us and even recommended a mortgage broker who has been amazing and managed to get us over the line.

Stroud Homes Port Macquarie first home
We made initial contact with Joel after a major problem arose with another builder. Joel was able to help and the issue we had was not a problem for him. He was not only able to build our custom design at a better price but included more. Through the build process Joel and his team always went the extra step to make sure we achieved an even better outcome than we expected. Following completion of our home Stroud's customer service has been great.
If the opportunity arose to build another home, would we use Joel and his team at Stroud Homes Port Macquarie? absolutely.
