About Stannard Family Homes
Adelaide Home Builders, Backed by Family Values
Building has been part of Ryan Stannard’s life since childhood. Growing up on construction sites alongside his father, he began his career as an apprentice carpenter at 15 and has now spent more than 25 years crafting homes for Adelaide families.
That same dedication runs through every part of Stannard Family Homes. We’re proud supporters of the local community—from Mannum’s football and netball clubs to the Adelaide Crows—because we believe in building more than houses. We build connections, trust, and places where families thrive.
Every member of our team is carefully chosen not just for their skills, but for the care, integrity, and attention to detail they bring to your home. When you build with us, you’re not just another number—you’re part of the Stannard Family Homes story.
“I’ve seen how stressful building can be when families feel left in the dark about costs, timelines, or workmanship. That’s why I’ve built this company differently. At Stannard Family Homes, our process is transparent, personal, and proven—so you can enjoy the journey of creating a home that’s truly yours.”
— Ryan Stannard, Director
Your River Shack. Your Country Home.

What to Expect After You Say ‘Yes’ to Building Your Dream Home
Deciding to build your dream home is a huge milestone. But once you say “yes” to moving forward — what really happens next? At Stannard Family Homes, we believe this stage should feel exciting, personal, and crystal clear.
Why the Murraylands Deserves More Than a Standard Builder
The Murraylands deserves more than cookie-cutter homes. Stannard Family Homes, with deep local roots, designs for the land, river lifestyle, and the way families actually live. Through stories like the Maloney family’s rebuild after the floods, the blog shows how thoughtful design and clear communication create homes that honour memories and community. The message is clear: don’t wait — rising costs and lost summers make now the time to build with a builder who respects the region and its legacy.
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 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.
