Details:

Couldn't be more pleased with the results from Daniel Chapman, Shane and all the staff and contractors of Stroud Homes Sunshine Coast!

Your home is your single largest investment and as all newcomers to the market I had my work cut out to ensure I was making the right decision! After all the horror stories friends and family have gone through, I knew it started with a quality builder.

I met the Director, Daniel, when I was looking at land and designs. As a young professional myself, I instantly recognised his absolute passion for perfection. He is built and bred to build, coming from a family ingrained in the industry, it didn't take him long to branch off and setup his dream building company. He is dedicated to the flawless operational efficiency of his organisation, going out of his way to ensure his builds will not just tick the boxes on looks, but will stand the test of time. Call him up for a chat and tap into his wisdom, even if you just want to query the area or are just contemplating designs, he is a genuine bloke who will do the right thing.

What Stroud achieved with my build was nothing short of astounding. From my moment of unconditional approval from the bank, there was zero time wasted.

The moment the funds cleared in their account, the slab was down the next day! They instantly invited me into their communication platform, which I will not disclose here as the competitors loom this platform. Suffice to say, during the build process I would received updates daily, with photo's and comments from the Site Manager Shane. I was so amazed by the detail Shane would go through on his posts, and it really allowed me to be part of the build every step of the way!

The trades that report to Shane are a bunch of highly skilled, highly motivated, masters of their craft. They do not use "cheap labour", they use contractors that work neatly, diligently and efficiently. I am still unsure how it is remotely possible, but they managed to build my 16 week project in 14.5 weeks. THIS INCLUDED FOUR 4 day work weeks AND a cyclone.

The most amazing thing to me was when the independent inspection was performed, they provided a report with ZERO defects. This is a feat that gets RARELY performed by builders, this will be the THIRD that Stroud Sunny Coast has achieved.

Once my home was completed, it was rented out three days later. For an above market price.

I want to give a big thank you to everyone at Stroud, you have turned what can become a nightmare for some into a dream start for me! I highly recommend anyone who is looking into builders to give them a call, and if it is at all possible in my future to obtain another place, I certainly know who I will call first.

Hi Jay! Thanks so much for your review. What I love about your build is that you are coming from a different angle, as an investor. Many investors are over-focused on completing the build for the lowest possible dollar and as you've pointed out, and end up with problems during the build and/or a compromised product. You've take a proactive approach to seeking out a builder that would deliver a good home for a fair price. As an investor myself, I was influenced by an accomplished investor who said they only owned property that they would want to pass on to their kids. My experience is like yours, good quality homes usually draw good tenants and good rents. I'm really pleased to hear how well the communications platform worked in your scenario - (being remote, not able to check on the progress of the build). Thanks for acknowledging the efforts of Dan, Shane and the staff and contractors - they will really appreciate your comments. I hope this property works out really well for you and we can do it again soon! Kind Regards, James Stroud.
