- Shaun Goodwin"I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Darrin, Sue, and the entire team at Lattuide for the exceptional work on our new home. The entire process was seamless and stress-free, and we always felt welcomed and supported when we had questions. Noel did an outstanding job of translating our vision into reality, perfectly capturing what we had in mind. The builders were incredibly efficient and maintained a high standard of tidiness, clearly taking great pride in their work. Thank you once again, Lattuide Waikato, for providing such top-notch service."5/5 stars
- Barbara HodgesWe explored a range of home-building options here in the Coromandel and initially felt that a transportable home might be the easiest path forward. However, after visiting a Latitude show home, it quickly became clear that it aligned perfectly with what we were looking for in both design and quality. Our early conversations with Noel soon developed into a well-considered plan, and before long we had a detailed proposal in hand — one that met our needs beautifully and remained within our budget. From the very first turn of soil through to completion, the entire experience was seamless and genuinely stress-free. Karen in the office was an absolute pleasure to deal with; nothing was ever a problem, and her organisation and communication ensured everything ran smoothly. We had heard plenty of horror stories about builds going off track or budgets blowing out, but thankfully we experienced none of that. Instead, we now have a beautiful new home on a tidy, well-presented site — and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Our thanks go to the entire team — Noel, Darrin, Sue, Karen, and everyone else who played a part in bringing our plans to life. We would not hesitate to recommend you and will certainly be sharing what a smooth and positive building experience this has been. We truly have the home we dreamed of. Thanks to you all.5/5 stars
