How Craig & Amelia Planned Their Dream Home Early — And Why You Should for 2026
Some build journeys begin with a phone call, a display visit, or a chance meeting. For Craig and his family, it started years ago during an ordinary workday — a moment none of us realised would one day lead to designing their dream home together.
Today, Craig and Amelia are building their third home, and their first with Stannard Family Homes. And their story is not just about a beautiful design or a new chapter — it’s a reminder of what’s possible when you build intentionally, build for lifestyle, and build with a team who truly listens.
As Adelaide moves into a period of stabilising interest rates and rising land demand, stories like Craig and Amelia’s show why starting your design journey now positions you perfectly to build in 2026.
Rebuilding on the River: Why Now Is the Time to Bring Your Family Back to the Lifestyle You Love
For so many families across the Murraylands, the river isn’t just a place — it’s a lifestyle. It’s where kids learn to ski, where long weekends turn into BBQs on the deck, and where generations come together in a way that doesn’t happen anywhere else.
But the 2022 floods changed everything. Homes were damaged, plans were paused, and a lot of precious time on the river has been lost.
At Stannard Family Homes, we meet families every week who are ready to come home to the river — but feel unsure of where to start. The truth is, rebuilding or building along the river doesn’t have to be overwhelming. And right now is the best time to take action.
What Our Clients Say
My wife and I have built with Stannard Family Homes twice over the past 10 years. The whole team at Stannard Family Homes are great to deal with through each stage. The experience the second time around was truly amazing. Our Site Supervisor, was across everything, before and post-handover and would always return a phone call on the same day, something we greatly appreciated (thanks for all your help).
We would highly recommend Ryan, Terry, Eryn and the whole team at Stannard Family Homes to anyone looking to build and custom home, thank you for building us a beautiful home!

We’ve just had a beautiful new home built by Ryan and the team from Stannard Family Homes. We had handover last week and are so happy with the way the whole build has been managed, and we’re absolutely delighted with the finished product. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to bring our dream to life - it’s been such a weight off our shoulders to have builders we know we can trust and rely on. Can highly recommend Stannard Family Homes to anyone who wants a greatly quality home.
