One of the best builders you can ever get - Dan - Stroud Homes Sunshine Coast – We purchased a block of land in Yandina in January 2017. It was always going to be a difficult block of land to build on given its slope and the fact we had strict covenants imposed on the type of house that could be built on the land. From the start Stroud Homes were more than accommodating to our needs. We approached many other builders but they didn't appear up to the challenge for the budget that we had. Tyrone was very approachable and exceptionally helpful in our introductory and follow-up meetings about the style of house we wanted on the block, whilst ensuring we kept within our budget. He knew the vision we wanted for the block and was very keen to make our dreams come true from the start.

Once we approved the initial quote we were handed over to Sarah for the contracts administration side. What can we say about Sarah - the lady is amazing - she dealt with the developer in ensuring the covenants were met - he wasn't an easy man to deal with. She also communicated directly with our bank manager and always returned answers to our questions in a timely manner. Given that we have a busy day to day schedule with our work commitments - Sarah always ensured we were kept up to date and always had our best interests at heart.

We had an enjoyable experience with Debra during colour selection. She was very helpful to assist with difficult selections given the amount of options you get with the standard inclusions. She also knew our vision for our home and knew the theme we wanted to run through this style of house. The Stroud standard inclusions range is very impressive.

Dan is the man. We met Dan at our first meeting with Tyrone and let just say we were impressed from the start. My partner has been in the building trade for over 20 years and could tell immediately when walking through the display home at Bli Bli that the quality of work was exceptional. We were also impressed that Dan was so down to earth and approachable. He was excited by our choice of home and was more than happy to ensure that we were going to get value for money. Even when we had hurdles with council - he was there on the day to discuss any changes that needed to happen to ensure our home would be built. Just a true gentleman to deal with.

We haven't had the pleasure of meeting Barry our site supervisor yet. The block only has been recently cut however I was impressed that Barry sent us photos of the work the day the block was being cut. Looking forward to dealing with Barry going forward and the progress of our home with Stroud.

Let the building begin - can't wait to see the final result!!!
