Hi everybody! My partner and I are wanting to build out in Rolleston (Falcon’s...

Hi Sez. Have you tried Signature Homes? I’d like to think they had followed up if you have 🙂

Try Quinn Homes. Though we did not build them, I met Peter Quinn and he seems a man of integrity and is very particular about finishings.

I’d recommend staying away from Platinum Homes, much of the comments here have been removed but refer the note above by site admin.

Hey Sez – Builders I would recommend to build in Rolly are: Paul McStay Homes, Greenland Homes (Sean Zhao), Que Homes (Justin McDonald) or Peter Ray Homes. All of these builders are honest and accurate with their pricing. Have personally built five properties with Greenland and will be building a new family home with him in near future. Have built two homes with Peter Ray (last one built 7 years ago and was great quality at the time, haven’t seen their latest homes but am picking they are still good). Couple of friends built with Paul McStay and a couple with Que and all very pleased with the result and price. From comments on here sound like Peter Quinn is also a good bloke to talk to. Good luck with your build.

Hi Sez You can jump into our builder listings on the Building Guide website here to see a whole bunch of good builders: http://www.buildingguide.co.nz/builders/christchurch/ or http://www.buildingguide.co.nz/builders/south-canterbury/

Benchmark Homes wd be my recommendation

Do your homework,,,thats all im saying

Hi I spend alot of time on this site assisting people. I really appreciate you referring our company. Regards.Peter Quinn

Hi Andrew I noticed an earlier message about Anna burns-Francis looking into Platinum Homes and Jason Strange. Has that gone anywhere?

We had a bad experience with Signature Homes 20 years ago when they built a house for us in Whitford. Ended up in mediation and some money was awarded to us. However we still live with the defects the shoddy work to date.

Hi Kathryn, yes I did have a look and chat to Signature Homes, they followed up wonderfully, however they weren’t quite the right fit for us 🙂

Hey Sarah, thanks for the big list, that is very helpful! Would you believe that those builders are good for First Home Builders, like ourselves? By any chance have you heard much about Today Homes? I’ve seen a couple of comments on here that are quite good and we’ve had some good feedback through friends too. Thanks again!

My pleasure. Thank you for your help too.

Hi Colin/Andrew Platinum sent me a letter threatening a suit for defamation unless comments were removed, hence the note at the top. As I mentioned, there have been a lot of comments regarding Platinum Homes and our recommendation is to consider alternatives.

Hi Colin, from what I understand they are on hold till they get 2 or 3 people to go on TV. Seven Sharp also did a story on Platinum a few months ago. With respect to Platinums legal threats, defamation is based on untrue statements, not clients actual experiences. Nothing illegal about telling the truth luckily.

Yes I think they are all good for first timers. Go have a look at some show homes. Greenland have one I think at Prestons Park, I imagine Peter Ray do too. I know that Peter Ray have three different “standards”, the basic, middle and higher pricing – they usually have show homes of each type and they have a list inside of exactly what is included and any extras they have in those show homes (and the prices associated) so they are very transparent. Greenland only have one small show home but their price is very good for the standard they provide. Not sure if Paul McStay has a show home but I’m sure they can show you through a home they have under construction (if you call them I think Brendan is the one to speak to). 🙂

Hi Sam. We built with signature.we’re still fighting to get them to right wrongs. It’s so dragged out. You’d think it was our fault. It’s not how we imagined our first build would be .

Hi Colin and Andrew, What a shame that the investigation by ABF into Platinum and Jason Strange will not go anywhere. Unfortunately too may clients are worried that they won’t get their homes finished if they speak out.

Whare is the law, can anyone stop these goons and take severe action against this company? Is there anyone in this group who could help or guide to take legal action jointly. We are not living in jungle and this must be stopped.

Doesn’t it speak volumes about the franchise with such debarcles with legal threats. Definitely makes one think about using any franchised company out there that instead of helping assist in the process with resolving issues alongside the regional operator tthey continue to compound the problem and provokingly threaten legal action to stop obvious disgruntlement from the general public. Speaks volumes.

Hi Jo. What area did you build with Signature, and how recently? Thanks

I see that more comments have been removed recently. What is wrong with this world, cant we give an honest opinion on how poor Platinum NZ has handled the shambles around Jason Strange. Once again, as a customer you are just at the hands of the incompetent people, and they are getting away with it, and we cant do anything / or say anything about it. I will keep posting regarding Platinum NZ and the Wellington/Wairarapa section, people stay away, they are not worth the stress and money.

Hi, Looking for help from fellow customers who have dealt with platinum homes. Can you please contact me. samstewart168@gmail.com Cheers.

Whereabouts are you based Sam?
