modular build. What initially turned us off a slab build was exactly that—the slab itself and the impact it would have on the environment. However, Stroud Homes' Facebook marketing caught my attention, and their home designs felt different from everyone else's.

After reaching out, we discovered they could customise their plans to suit our needs. Following our first discussion with Travis—who is so genuine, honest, and completely open—we learned the house could be stepped down to follow the natural slope of our land. Combined with their generous inclusions package, it exceeded our hopes and dreams.

As our trusty council seemed determined to throw every possible curveball in both our and Stroud Homes' direction, it really highlighted a couple of stars on their team.

First, Sandy (Contract Administration). I'm sure she hears this all the time, but I've cried, laughed, and celebrated with her over the phone. She is absolute gold at what she does—efficient, professional, honest, and personable. Those qualities are hard to come by these days.

Then there's Cam. You only meet him a handful of times during your building journey, but every Friday between 1 pm and 3 pm, you find yourself eagerly waiting for his update. Without fail, he lets you know what has been completed, shares photos of the progress, and explains what to expect over the coming week. Those updates became something we genuinely looked forward to.

The contractors Stroud Homes work with were brilliant and reflected the family-like culture the business has created. During our colour, electrical, and selections meetings, the lovely lady helping us (I'm so sorry I can't remember her name!) was an absolute delight and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us confidence in every decision we made, leaving very little chance of regretting any of our choices.

Our home is so perfectly suited to the area. It is welcoming, warm, and will be a haven for our family for many years to come.

While Stroud Homes may be part of a franchise, the Wollongong team feels like a genuine family. Every person we dealt with supported us, encouraged us, and guided us through what could have been a very stressful journey. For that, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Thank you for helping us create our home. ❤️

finish. The entire process—from planning and design to construction and final walkthrough—was smooth and well organized. Communication was clear and consistent, and any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly.

The quality of workmanship really stood out. The materials used were high quality, and attention to detail was evident throughout the home. The project stayed on schedule, and the team was professional, respectful, and easy to work with.

Overall, we’re very happy with our new home and would confidently recommend this builder to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled home builder.

much trouble and she was always available to take our calls. Colour selection with Tyler was amazing. She was super patient and gave us time to sort out our selections. It was one of the highlights if our build. We did have some delays due to weather and trade shortages but our site supervisor Mitch was very good at relaying any information he had. He always took our calls and kept us up to date. He was also really good at making changes as we went or rectifying any issues that came up during the build. We were extremely happy with Mitch as our supervisor. Finally Donna, such a positive and pleasant person to deal with. She has been looking after our post construction issues, which are few. Very prompt service and nothing is too much trouble. All in all it was a great experience dealing with the Brookvale Sydney North team and the final product is amazing. Very well built and we love our new home!!

going into administration. We had piled our life savings into the dream of building a new home and were nearly defeated.

We then came across Mellross Homes and our whole experience changed. Mellross Homes were understanding of our low trust levels given our previous experiences, highly professional, clear and concise with information, and supportive through our entire experience even after move-in which has made the whole journey feel rewarding.

We couldn't be happier with our custom-built house by Mellross Homes and would recommend them to anyone in the Young, Yass, and now Canberra area.

phone calls, silly questions and constant colour changes were always met with positivity and a smile. They were always more than happy to go above and beyond to make us happy and we’re so grateful they took us on as clients. This was our 2nd build, but first time with Sensé and I can 100% say that we will definitely be using the Sensé team again in all of our future builds. Every time frame given was always on time or early, nothing was ever a hold up and there was always someone on site! We’re so thrilled with our new house and can’t fault any of it, every finish, fixture and paint job is perfect and we’re beyond stoked!

Our experience with Kalwanu Constructions – This review has been pending for a long time, but we wanted to make it as informative as possible regarding our experience with Kalwanu… Read more

Constructions.

It’s been a year and a half since we moved into our new home, and now feels like the right moment to share our journey with Kalwanu—from our initial conversations and building planning to construction phases, the handover process, and finally settling in.

When my wife and I decided to own our first property, we were filled with excitement and anticipation, along with many questions about who to build it with and how to proceed. This was just before the Covid lockdown was announced.

We conducted extensive checks on various builders and read numerous customer reviews. We didn’t want a builder with predefined floor plans because we had specific ideas for our floor plan. Thus, we narrowed our search to builders who support custom builds.

Eventually, we shortlisted three builders, including Kalwanu Constructions. The initial interactions with the other two builders were purely business-minded and didn’t align with our expectations. However, our first interaction with Kalwanu was different. They showed immense patience in listening to our requirements and provided practical, fact-based solutions. This first impression played a major role in our decision to engage in deeper discussions with Kalwanu.

We signed the contract with Kalwanu and began the construction of our dream house.

It’s important to note the challenging circumstances during construction: Covid lockdowns, timber shortages, six weeks of continuous rain, and labor constraints. Despite these challenges, they kept us constantly updated on realistic completion dates.

Although we had our share of agreements and disagreements, the team’s willingness to listen to us and respond to our calls daily made a big difference. Unlike some friends and colleagues who struggled to get responses from their construction teams, we felt fortunate that Kalwanu always addressed our concerns promptly.

Our site supervisors were crucial during the entire construction process. Despite my blunt assessments regarding timelines, they always responded politely and took positive action. Over time, we developed a strong and positive relationship.

After overcoming various challenges, our house was completed and handed over to us.

Major callouts: - The entire Kalwanu crew are extremely professional and patient. - Correspondence and responses were timely. - The contractors they hire are highly skilled. - The workmanship is of high standards. - They do not cut corners; instead, they discuss technical issues and provide solutions. - The materials used are of high quality and discussed in detail at each construction phase.

Importantly, Kalwanu continues to support us even after handover. The Site supervisor checks in regularly to ensure everything is fine and promptly addresses any minor issues we have.

Thank you Team Kalwanu, for building us our first dream home.

shore with positivity and a proactive attitude. Their pricing was competitive and the team worked well together to find solutions to any setbacks or challenges. Progress was steady and communication was exceptional every step of the way. The quality is great and the knowledge and experience Angus, Max, Rob and Kieran bring to the table gave us so much confidence. We are thrilled with our new home and can't thank the whole Valor team enough! Above all, they are just lovely, trustworthy and ethical people who really care about the bringing your dream home to life.

to why they couldn’t start. Said if we paid extra they’ll start asap. We still refused this as could see this going nowhere. Then both of us agreed to a refund, however we are still waiting for it. Never met a builder who offers a refund and yet refuses to reply to my emails once I’ve signed the cancellation deed. Been nearly 1 year since we requested to cancel. Took 2 months to get the deed. And now no response despite nearly 60 emails, phone calls and texts. If I could give -10 rating I would. So glad I have decided to not build with them, if we are struggling now I can only imagine how the build would go. Even pre Covid we were having issues with them. Disaster of a company.
