– David and Jill, March 2019
Building a house is a big and personal undertaking and we have heard many nightmares. Our experience was on time, on budget, exceeding expectations of finished product and, possibly most importantly, an enjoyable experience.
– Rowan and Jane, August 2018
“Coastwood Homes were fantastic to deal with. Ours was probably not the most straight forward of homes but nothing was ever a problem – communication was top notch & we ended up with a home better than we could have imagined. We recommend Lockwood Homes & Coastwood Homes to anyone wanting to build. We’d do it all again in a heartbeat just to work with the fabulous team again. Only problem is it’ll be a long long time before we consider moving!”
