Meet Tom Robertson. Builder. Quantity Surveyor. Straight-shooter.

The guy you’ll actually talk to, not just hear about. Tom started Stoke Homes with a simple belief: building should feel personal, not painful. With years on the tools and a background in quantity surveying, he brings both practical know-how and the numbers to back it up.

From Building Homes to Building Relationships: 
Tom's Journey

Tom started as a builder, learning firsthand the importance of detail, craftsmanship, and care. Over time, he saw a need for a better way to build, one that felt personal, honest, and simple for clients. Stoke Homes was born from that vision to deliver personalised, high-quality living spaces for real lives.

A Personal Touch

Tom believes in building relationships that last, ensuring every client feels valued and heard.

Why People Stick With Stoke & Tell Their Friends

It’s not just the homes, it’s how we make the process feel. Clients work with Stoke because they feel heard. Because things are explained clearly. Because the build feels less like a battle and more like a collaboration.  From lifestyle-focused layouts to careful budgeting, Stoke Homes builds trust as much as we build houses.

"Having worked with Tom in the past, we knew he had the expertise to help us transform our build plans into reality. He streamlined the process for us, kept it simple to understand, and offered solutions when we weren’t sure. He’s very easy to communicate with, has a good team of consultants behind him, and knows each step inside out. We are very happy with our home and the customer care we still receive today."

Returning Client

"My partner and I started looking for sections at a tricky time with not much available. We got in touch with Tom about starting the process and looking at costs, which he made very easy and gave us heaps of confidence. Lucky enough, with Tom's help, we found a decent-sized section and were able to build our dream home. The whole process was great — heaps of updates on where the project was heading, and it was completed faster than expected with a top-class finish. Will be using Tom and Stoke Homes again soon!"
