Hello I am looking at building in Christchurch and have been looking at Homes by Maxim and Greenland Homes. Does anyone have any feedback on Homes by Maxim? I noticed there already is some positive feedback for Greenland Homes.

Hey Glen, I don’t know anything much about Maxim but I have built several properties with Greenland and cannot recommend Sean highly enough. He’s a man of integrity which is hard to come by these days. 🙂

Hi. We built our home with Paul McStay. The process was smooth. Prices didn’t change and we got exactly what we wanted. Brendon was great to deal with. One of the best things we found was that we were speaking directly to the architect and any changes were done almost immediately. Even the first day I met them and showed them a floor plan I had drawn up, they got back to me that same day with their plans done. That was what made me go with them and haven’t regretted it.We found that dealing with any of the larger companies, you had to talk to a salesman who would pass it on to architects. The process was very long and more often than not the plans would come back completely wrong. A lot was lost in translation. I also believe that the value for money is much better. A higher spec and larger home for the same price. Cheers Adrian

Yep agree with this comment. Paul McStay is great too. Know his son and also know a couple of people who have built with him and been very pleased. A man of integrity.
