Stroud Homes

We cannot thank the Stroud Homes Wollongong team enough. We found ourselves in a real pickle after being let down by our local council with a… Read more
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. ❤️

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.

Recently I discovered a water stain in my garage after heavy rains, I emailed CMA and I had the Maintenance Manager Angelo come out to inspect my issue. There was an issue with the timber around upstairs windows, replacement timbers ordered, and maintenance team, Mick and Steve came to site to repair. I couldn’t be happier with the build of my home and the after sales service of Homes by CMA. I highly recommend them. Thank you.

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!!

communication....good for record keeping but the software is bit 'quirky'. Our sales consultant was excellent and provided sound advice. -The actual build appeared to use quality components and the overall workmanship by their contractors was excellent. Importantly, our Building Supervisor at AUSMAR was also very professional and excellent and he made all the difference getting something resolved when some minor issue occurred. Even after the handover, the same supervisor continued to assist us with small items. -Overall, the home build at AUSMAR was fair value, well designed and constructed well with quality items and finished ahead of the contract deadline. We could see our building supervisor made a difference too !
PJ Burns
Price Position and Presentation – Moved in to our house about 3 weeks ago. It's just perfect. PJ Burns did an exceptional job with our custom built home. Not easy on a small block. … Read more
The standard of tradespeople and workmanship was superb and anything that needed adjusting in our contract was dealt with promptly and professionally. We had friends building with a project company at the same time as us and they now have problems and unfinished items. We highly recommend PJ Burns Builders to build your dream home. From start to finish and during Covid times with shortage of materials and tradespeople, we found them to be honest and trustworthy delivering an exceptional quality product on time and at no extra cost. Thanks to Matt for initial consult and Rick and the two Dave's and all their tradespeople for a job well done. ***** Pam and Bill

First off, I made a review about them 3 years ago praising the way the pre-construction phase was handled. The actual and post-construction phase… Read more
however was quite the opposite. The build management and supervision was way below my expectations. Service and reaction times was poor. I am not sure if they would but I suggest you do your due diligence by asking for referrals. Workmanship is nothing compared to the builder who did our first home. Needless to say, I should have followed my instinct at the outset. Giving them 3-stars is me being nice.

themselves this time around. They are one of the few builders who offer custom built homes and complete design flexibility. I came to Ownit with my own external design and ideas and they transformed it into a home that was better than I could have ever imagined.
The entire process from start to finish was an absolute breeze. From the initial paperwork and design selections right through to construction and handover, the team held my hand every step of the way. Their communication was fantastic, with any issues sorted quickly, which kept me feeling completely comfortable throughout the build.
I was so impressed by Ownit’s integrity—no hiccups, no shortcuts, just pure quality. My new home looks stunning and stands out on the street for all the right reasons. Ownit has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you to the whole team. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a custom-build and I'll definitely be back to build again!
G & P Builders

the workmanship throughout the house is excellent. The trades involved in our build did a great job, and I am proud of the home that was delivered.
Like most builds, there were some challenges along the way. Communication and administration could sometimes be frustrating, and there were times when I felt I needed to chase information or clarification myself, which added unnecessary stress to what is already a significant life event.
That said, any issues that arose were ultimately addressed, and the team remained willing to work through concerns as they came up. Building a home is a complex process, and while the experience wasn't always seamless, the quality of the finished product speaks for itself.
Overall, G&P delivered a home that I genuinely love, and I appreciate the effort that went into bringing my vision to life.

incredible family-owned company was the best decision we made! From the very beginning, Davis and Mason were so supportive and reassuring, Mason helping us navigate the mess left behind. Ian, our site manager, was outstanding—he handled everything with professionalism and always kept up with my many calls, which I really appreciated! Huge thanks also to Heather and Roz in the office for their patience and kindness throughout the process. Despite having to pick up the pieces from our previous builder, the whole team turned what felt like a nightmare into a genuinely enjoyable building experience. Their communication, delivery, and attention to detail were everything we hoped for. We’re beyond happy with the outcome and are already planning to use them for our second home. Highly recommend!

Roonsleigh Constructions

I strongly warn anyone considering Roonsleigh to think twice before hiring them. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. It wasn’t just… Read more
[Name Removed] the builder and [Name Removed], all of their trades and most contractors repeatedly lied and failed to take responsibility for their work. There was no accountability at any stage of the process.The worst defect was the main bathroom and front bedroom, which both suffered from severe water and rotten wood. The front bedroom was damaged by a nails driven through a water pipes The Main bathroom the water proofing was faulty leaving us without a usable bathroom or bedroom for almost a year. Roonsleigh repeatedly refused to fix the issue properly and kept denying that any of the timber was rotten. Every person involved — from their carpenters and plumbers to the tiler, builder, and maintenance man — insisted there was “nothing wrong” and said they would just spray the area with mold killer. After a year of excuses, they finally walked away saying they wouldn’t do any more work. With over 50 defects Roonsleigh prepared a plan in 3 different stages as the scope of work was enormous. Roonsleigh couldnt even get stage 1 complete It was only after I lodged with the QBCC that they came back and properly repaired the damage to the bathroom and bedroom. Another major issue was the water tank which was never plumbed to take in rainwater despite being connected to the laundry, toilets, and garden hoses. We had the installed underground beneath our driveway to help save water. But Roonsleigh struggled with the plans and failed to plumb up for the water tank. Roonsleighs carpenter told me the Plumbers forgot the water tank was going in when doing the plumbing even though every house in the estate has to have one. Roonsleigh thought i wouldnt notice — meaning it would have remained permanently empty and useless. Two weeks after I moved in, they came back to pump out the tank empty which was had gravel and mud in it. It then it remained empty for 10 months. Roonsleigh knew why the tank was empty but sent out pipe camera twice. As long as they kept me away from knowing why the tank remained empty utimately if no problem identified no fix can be done. Was getting no where I mentioned going to the QBCC they finally came back and plumbed up the rainwater to collect into the tank — but even that job is still defective. The pipe is just below ground level and pipe runs uphill. The kitchen stone benchtop also came apart at the join only a couple of months after moving in. I was told they had contacted the contractor on many occasions but couldn’t get a response, and when I asked for the contractor’s details so I could follow up under warranty, they refused to provide the name. The benchtop is out of warranty now. I’ll have to replace it myself — a costly and unnecessary waste after spending so much on what should have been a quality finish. Roonleigh feels i am responsible to fix and payEvery window in the house is also defective and now needs to be replaced. Because the issue wasn’t addressed within the first year after handover Roonsleigh knew that they were defective I’ve been left to pay for that myself — another major expense that should have been covered under proper workmanship and warranty. Roonsleigh lies and promises to fix has worked out for them having success with dragging out repairs with more defects to stop moving on to other defects so in one years time the customer will become responable for all repairs.Only two months into the build, my wife and I stopped visiting the site altogether. The communication was terrible, and the constant mistakes made the experience unbearable. What should have been an exciting project turned into months of stress, frustration, and financial loss.These are just a few examples out of more than 50 defects I’ve had to repair and pay for myself. Every promise to return and fix issues was broken. The lack of honesty, accountability, and professionalism from this builder was appalling.
Nuvo Homes
Its better than a Show Home – I have just built my family home with Nuvo homes. And would like to extend a huge huge thank you to the team, Starting with Jo Brown. No amount of… Read more
words can explain how amazing she was. She is a design and sales consultant as well as a valuable asset being on the front line for Nuvo Homes. I had a very small block 356 sqm, and there was literally no other builder that was willing to do the work to try and custom fit and design my home on my block. Jo has met with us week after week and answered all our 1 thousand questions. She was always polite, helpful, experienced honest. She always followed up with and email to confirm what we spoke about or agreed upon. Thank you, Jo for going over and above in every aspect. We LOVE our new home. Being a first time designer build home there was sure going to be some hiccups along the way, I had a few run ins with my site supervisor with regards to incorrect items being supplied on site by the supplier, which was cleared up and corrected after confirming with the office and Jo. As for the director Tim Routledge, he is a man of his word, wherever there was doubt or a grey area in the specs or design, he always gave us the benefit of the doubt. If I had to think of some room for improvement for Nuvo Homes, I would suggest that, with regards to owner design builds, Jo the design consultant should work very closely with the site supervisor during the build. I would also advise that you clearly have a good understanding of the cabinetry design terminology, specs and 3d layouts this can be a bit misleading. A huge thank you as well to our electrician Ron, who knows his stuff and gets the job done and has been very accommodating and gave a lot of advice regarding our electrical lay out. All in all we are very happy with the build and the finish product of our new home, and how I know its really good, every visitor that has come to my home cannot firstly believe that such a huge house has fitted on a 356sqm block and secondly they can’t fault a single thing.
Thank you Nuvo homes and I look forward to building my next home with you and will recommend anyone who is thinking about building especially on a tight block or something unique and designer, go pay Jo Brown from Nuvo homes a visit and she will definitely help you realise your dream. It’s Better than a Show Home
Arista Homes

We built a custom home with this builder. While the construction timeframe and early communication were reasonable, our overall experience was… Read more
disappointing. During the sales stage, several inclusions were verbally promised but later not honoured after signing the fixed contract, which felt misleading. The biggest issue was the handover. We were called for practical completion when the house was clearly not finished and not habitable (missing oven fixture, incomplete fixtures, and numerous defects). Despite this, we were pressured to make the final payment. There were many workmanship issues, including paint and plaster defects, misaligned architraves, gaps in finishes, damaged items, uneven cabinetry, and a bowed ceiling. We also experienced a subfloor noise issue, which the builder initially refused to take responsibility for. We ultimately had to escalate through QBCC to get defects resolved. Only after this did the builder address the outstanding issues. The process was extremely stressful and time-consuming. We spent the first six months after handover dealing with QBCC, followed by ongoing repairs with multiple trades coming in and out of our home, which was highly inconvenient. There were over 50 defects identified at practical completion. We are only posting a few photos as proof. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this builder

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!

The level of detail and care in their work truly stands out. They went above and beyond, incorporating thoughtful additional features throughout the home that exceeded our expectations and really showcase their commitment to quality and service.
We couldn’t fault TMR Projects in any aspect of the build. Their professionalism, transparency, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a builder who genuinely delivers on their promises.

Our sincere thanks go to Ash and Michelle Moseley for outdoing our expectations. In short, if we were building again Ash Moseley Homes would definitely be our choice of builder.
