Hello all, Has anyone had an experience with Platinum Homes

Don’t go near them.

I suggest you use the search function on this site as Platinum are one of the most complained about companies on here. They have used legal threats against the person running this site to have countless comments removed. Also look at the top of the site at the comment Mark has made about it/them.

GG Builders (geordie ), or Latitude homes (Alix). Try Geordie his a great guy and down to earth small build team best prices and I had them all quote me on the same plans.

Do your own earthworks go via Renshaw Civil limited, best service the dude is honest wont rip you off. Before you hire a building company currently building on a sloppy site.

Renshaw Civil limited. Anthony

as per previous comment, STAY AWAY the only good thing is the product, the rest (building process, time frame, project manager etc etc) all shockingly bad. Many people have been affected by Platinum, esp the Wellington franchise. Summarised in 1 word -> INCOMPETENT

Thanks for your reply. Any recommendation for other builder?

Also in the same boat – signed a build contract last November and still looking at a piece of slab. Massive delays, false promises, terrible communication, rumours of rifts between them and their contractors (some not being paid so refusing to do further work). In too deep at this stage and must now wait for completion. Their build contract covers their arses for EVERYTHING.

Hi, how do you find the search function?

Hi Nadine, do you have any experience with Latitude Homes (Alix)? Please share. Thank you

I can see a lot many victims of Platinum Homes (Wellington) but wondering why we are not taking any actions together (unity is strength) to stop them playing with our emotions. If we don’t act, it means we are helping them. Looking forward some positive initiatives and suggestions from all the victims …

Platinum NZ is allowing the Wellington Franchise to continue with their dodgy practice. Again, many comments previously about Jason Strange and his team (all the good staff have left for reasons) of incompetent people who have absolutely no idea what they are doing. All the money you put in the build gets spend on other projects, not your own build, which means contractors don’t get paid on time, so they won’t turn up to finish the job. Excuses after excuses, poor communication (only if the next payment is due, they will be on the case pronto) . All we can do is tell as many people as we can to avoid Platinum (especially the Wellington/Wairarapa branch). Jason Strange has a long history – enough said.

There might be a better way, but I hold down ctrl F (for find) at the same time. A search box comes up on the top right of the screen. Type the word or name in the box, then use the arrows to scroll up or down to the next one

I agree, they don’t what they are doing and lack of communication is shocking!!!

Fair go they will come out of woodwork then

Hi, feel free to contact me.

Yeah, Ive had to reach an out of court settlement with them.

What is out of court settlement John – might be helpful for others to know the details and follow? What is the current status of your build project?

Hi Sam, I cannot talk about it because of the settlement. Only to say it was settled.
