Highly recommend Stroud Homes Widebay – When my husband and I started researching to build our dream home we asked fellow friends and family who they had built with in the past and who they would recommend locally. Sadly, a lot of the responses were “We built with ____ but wouldn’t build with them again”. Realising there was no stand-out builder in the area we were left back at square one to continue our research and hope for the best.

My husband began looking at house plans online and came across the vast range on Strouds website. He found the perfect plan which also happened to be a display home so we drove hours to check it out. We absolutely loved it and were impressed with the quality – we just needed to build that home in our hometown!

A week or so passed and then we heard about Stroud Homes Widebay and their grand opening in Bundaberg! It was like it was meant to be! We met with Aletha and Slade and found them to be genuine and down-to-earth. They were full of knowledge and gave great advice. They were patient with our ‘millions’ of emails asking about things and wanting to change some ideas and add in or take out things, always a quick reply and then wham, our slab went down! Today marks a year since our slab was poured.

We have lived in our house for 9 months with no major concerns or problems.

Everyone who visits loves our home and we highly recommend Stroud Homes Widebay. We would definitely build with them again. For our first time building, it has been the best experience.

Slade, Aletha, Scott and their tradespeople were always happy to chat to us on site visits, our site was impressively clean inside and out and our build-time was as it was meant to be. A few special notes I’d like to mention – our butlers pantry had 4 rows of 3 drawers in each and they were different sizes in height, small, medium, large. When we asked if they could change them to be all the same size, they happily accommodated and replaced them. In our bathroom we had 3 cupboards under the sink side-by-side. When we asked if we could change one cupboard and make it into 3 drawers, they happily accommodated and replaced it. In our kitchen along our island bench wall we have a pretty big mosaic tile feature, when we asked them if they could change the grout from white to dark they happily accommodated – which I know was a pain to have to scratch out!

We are truly thankful that Slade and Aletha came along. Our house has been entered into numerous building awards and fingers crossed they win to prove that Stroud Homes Widebay is a great local builder! Our home is like no other on the street, with Strouds amazing façade and designs making it stand out. People still stop by and take photos!

Build with Stroud and your home will definitely ‘feel like home’.
