Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these builders...

I would go for Precision builders from that list. Some of whom you mentioned are big borrowers ready to go bust.

Hi Precision is the way to go, their workmanship is outstanding and they do not have bad debts or unhappy clients. Stroud homes stay far away from they treat their clients terribly and have unpaid contractors all around Franklin, wont be long until they are gone.

Steer clear of Kanda Homes and Stroud (I believe Stroud is already in liquidation)

Hi Samule, I would also steer clear of Kanda homes in Pukekohe (owned by Rich Abbott), they are well known among the local sub trades to be extremely disorganized and reluctant to pay bills – often disputing work much later, months after the job. The disorganization leads to delays and extra costs to pass on. They have done quite a few jobs for their staffs friends and family which provide some good reviews but please do your due diligence if you are a new client. Their sales, marketing and social media posts are very good but make sure you look past that and talk to past customers about their experiences and if you can- talk to tradesmen that have worked for them. The Pukekohe/Paerata town is small and word/reputation spreads around the trades. good luck

Precision homes

Have a look at DW Homes as well. Friends of ours built in the Patumahoe Hill subdivision with another and after walking through the last 3 DW Homes in there are really wishing they’d built with them. Just a higher standard their homes.

Stroud homes pukekohe have gone under, now into liquidation. We pulled out about a year ago just before signing up with them…..things didnt seem right, sooo glad we went with our gut feeling. We ended up going to Highmark Homes, franklin for our build, best decision ever ! Completition due in approx mid may, no price increases, no hidden costs and no delays, we’re dealing directly with the builders and contractors….such an awesome team to deal with.

Hi Ash, Could you please elaborate with your comment on Kanda Homes, did you build with them or are you a sub contractor for them. We saw them at the home show and were looking for reviews, they seem to have their own builder rather than hiring subcontractors which is a plus. They also seem to be finishing builds according to their social media page. cheers Jeremy
