"Right from my first meeting with Stu, I was immediately put at ease and felt extremely confident that my vision for my new home would come to fruition. Stu and his teams professionalism was obvious, everything was explained, and Stu was across every part of the build and kept me informed throughout, he and his team had some great suggestions that enhanced my home that I wouldn’t have thought of. The use of Buildertrend App was such an amazing tool to have, I always knew what was happening and all invoices and communication is in one place making everything very easy and accessible. Many people say that building a new home can be very stressful but I can wholeheartedly say I was never stressed. Attention to detail was impeccable and nothing was ever a problem. I was so impressed with the quality of workmanship and the manner in which my home was completed that I employed Stu and his team to build an additional home on my farm. Cannot recommend Stu, Hannah and their team highly enough".
