Stonewood Homes Marlborough and Kaikoura

I really love my Stonewood home. Pauline, Jenny and Shane were awesome to work with. I really appreciated all their advise and ideas. The standard from their contractors used was great. I would certainly recommend Stonewood Homes Marlborough without hesitation. Thank you team for a lovely home.

Amazing team to work with and to build houses. They are so experienced and have built so many new homes in New Zealand. Highly trustworthy, you just go for it, enjoy your brand-new house.

I love working with the team at Stonewood Homes Marlborough and Kaikoura and if you are looking for a Quality home I recommend getting in touch with the team.

I strongly urge against using this company for building your home. We signed a contract with them in 2019 and was completed in March 2023. Unorganised and very poor communicators. Our first issue was they miscalculated the size of the house causing a breach onto a neighbouring property. It took them almost 8 months to correct at which time our timber framing was decaying. Refused to replace until we had professionals commission testing. City council forced them to rebuild. Delays on every single item after that. Leadership at Stonewood is poor too, and we had little cut through trying to get them to facilitate the franchisee owner to work with us. Now that our house has been built they have failed to take any responsibility for items that need to be fixed and we are having to claim on our master build guarantee. If you’re building a home do your research DO NOT BUILD WITH STONEWOOD!

A rollercoaster. The building process was extended for 8 months, COVID was the perfect excuse. From starters, the boxing of the foundations was removed too early, hence the garage edges are notoriously cracked, rubble everywhere. It's been 3 years since we moved in, and we still can't lock the ensuite toilet door. Many interior paint details left unattended. Once your last installment leaves your bank account, you're being left alone for good. We've got written proof of all issues raised, and after many ignored requests, we're finally taking this to the Citizens Advice Bureau this week.
