Testimonials and Client Feedback

The best thing about the way Shayne works is that he is extremely honest and a good communicator. He works with you to find out exactly what you want and gives you a clear indication of different ways of doing things so that you can choose the level of quality you desire and the level of price.

House built in Mangawhai by Stuart Builders for Craig and Honners

I have used Shayne Stuart for two houses that I have built and this shows my appreciation for his professionalism and the work he has completed.

When you’re building a house you need someone you can trust and on that basis, I can’t recommend him highly enough. Shayne’s prices are fair, he remains flexible to your needs, he has a good eye for detail and you know he is on your side.
The first house was an agreed fixed price. The second house was charge up. In my experience, it is not always about the fixed price as you can lose the quality and ability to make good decisions along the way. Both houses I came in right on budget, on time and exceeded my expectations. The proof is in the pudding and I’d be proud to show any potential client around the house he built for me.

He is a very communicative person, a calm problem-solver, honest as the day is long, and his band of subbies reflect his high standards and natural leadership. His relationship with our architects was amiable and close. In the unlikely event of us ever building again we will reach for Shayne’s number on our speed dial!

Bryan and Susan Parry

We are delighted with our beach house built by Shayne Stuart. Quite frankly he is outstanding. The quality and attention to detail are more evident now we using it. Shayne is a very capable builder who thrives on a challenge. His experience and expertise are very reassuring during the scary (for us) business of building.

We had a particularly difficult steeply sloping site and quite a complicated design for our beach house which was a challenge. Shayne did a wonderful job in managing the project, working on the job and supervising the subcontractors to completion

Mangawhai Village House Renovation for Alan and Caroline

We are really impressed with the standard of the work and the attention to finishing detail. Shayne established an excellent working relationship with the architects, Malcolm Walkers Architect, to work through problems as they arose. Communication with us was excellent and we’ve established a friendly working relationship with Shayne, which has continued after the job, and we feel that we can contact him for advice when we need to. We believe that Shayne’s style of project management made this rather complicated job run very smoothly for us and would totally recommend him (as we have already done) to other clients.

Shayne’s skills both in communication and building meant that every site visit was something we looked forward to. Nothing seemed to be a problem and any issues that arose were dealt with professionally and with no fuss.

Mangawhai Beach House Rebuild for Brian and Cheryl

We had heard all the usual building horror stories from friends and family regarding budget blow-outs and finishing dates but our experience with Shayne could not have been more different. Shayne’s skills both in communication and building meant that every site visit was something we looked forward to. Nothing seemed to be a problem and any issues that arose were dealt with professionally and with no fuss. We feel our new home has been built with care and pride. We love it. Thanks Shayne.
