Auckland South Franchisee

We have now been in our new home for just about a year. It's fair to say that the experience of building with Stonewood has been most pleasant right from the first encounter with Lance in the show-home.

This is the third home we have built over the years so we knew that the process could be stressful with key decisions to be made right from the initial design through to finishing touches such as colours and furnishings.

In this case, the hassles were minimal and the practical advice we received from Stonewood and their people and their subcontractors contributed to a build that has resulted in a home with which we are very happy ...and proud to own.

Key to any successful build is the relationship with the builder and in our case we were very lucky that Dave and Nathan were our contract managers. Both brought a high level of professionalism to the job, such that it almost seemed that they were building their own home. They should be rightly proud of the final result!

I guess the question is whether we would build again with Stonewood. Based on this experience, the answer would be yes, although it would take a lot to convince us to move from where we are!

We are delighted and very happy with our amazing new home. Nathan and Mike were accessible, good to talk to and quickly responded to any questions or issues. Even when we did the kitchen ourselves we could ask for advice from them and they were really helpful. It’s been amazing to have such a lovely home. We are both really thrilled. So thanks Mike and Nathan for going the extra mile.

After an extremely harrowing start with another building company, Stonewood Homes came to the rescue and turned our nightmare into a dream once more.

This new house build has been one of the biggest defining milestones in our lives. Thank you Stonewood East Auckland for helping us overcome so many mental and physical challenges and obstacles to get to the end of our first new house build. From the start Lance was reassuring and showed us all the possibilities we could include to achieve our dream home. Through the process Lesley made things happen no matter what the obstacle.

During construction Dave was super-efficient early in the build stage, and then Nathan became our mentor and visionary making every crazy idea possible. Mike was always there as our Counsellor and the calm through every storm. Jean, Anne, Monesh & Andrea were a great help too throughout the Build. We also really appreciated and would like to thank all the Stonewood Contracting Partners for their efforts to achieve an excellent result.

Ellen has been very helpful and I would recommend her to any potential clients.

We have been dealing with Ellen with the purchase of our new home with Stonewood Homes since May 2014. During this time we have found Ellen to be very informative and helpful with our purchase. She has gone out of her way to help us with any questions about the building and planning of our house. She has always been contactable any time of the day and night, if we have not been sure about anything to do with the plans or costings she has endeavoured to find the answers or has got back to us with the answers in a short space of time.

From my initial enquires, to my dream becoming a reality...

...is in a huge way thanks to Ellen. She has helped and guided me through all aspects, from planning to the actual

building process and has stayed with me throughout as a friend and ally.

Ellen has made the whole experience of having a home built through Stonewood a stress free experience.

The process of building a house initially sounded confusing and overwhelming however Ellen made it easy and often went the extra mile, including liaising with our Lawyer or with our bank in regards to making progress payments.

Ellen is friendly and professional and nothing was ever too much trouble. Ellen is an excellent communicator and always responded promptly to our queries. It’s been a pleasure working with Ellen and we appreciate everything she has done. Our home is nearly completed and looking great 🙂

Thank you. Thank you for your support and conscientious work ethic. You all do an amazing job.

Keeping your team work as such is not an easy task. Dealing with clients and their demands AND keeping professionally focussed is what you're all about. I love my little home! Thank you Stonewood Homes! Your boss can be proud of his team! Yes, we had such a pleasant "handing over of the keys" last evening. You work with some really nice guys!

I'm still finding it hard to believe that that vacant piece of land stuck in the middle of a whole lot of 1970's houses now has a brand new home built on n it. AND that house belongs to me! I feel a great sense of achievement. Thank you for being so patient with me. This has been the hugest accomplishment in my life.

When first deciding to design and build our dream home we approached Stonewood Homes. From the outset we found Jeff and the Team at the East Auckland Office to be responsive and accommodating while working through our multiple plan changes before reaching the final result. The ideas that Jeff had when looking at our design made it work that much better. Stonewood took care of everything including the final plans, geo tech engineering and resource consent.

Throughout the building process we were kept fully informed thanks to our onsite project managers Mike & Nathan who were great to deal with. They both have a wealth of knowledge and kept the project running smoothly. Having built before with another organisation we were impressed with the Stonewood quality of workmanship from the framing right through to the tiling, painting and final result. Stonewood not only met but exceeded our expectations.

Our home was completed 1 week ahead of schedule during the busiest time for building and as per the initial contract price. We are proud to own a Stonewood home and can not recommend them enough to anyone looking at building their dream home. Thanks so much to everyone at Stonewood Homes East Auckland we absolutely love our new home.
