Thinking of bulding a 5 bedroom house at Longbay by Stroud Homes Auckland North,...

All I can say is the Akl South one went broke not too long ago and was run by a total con who allegedly used clients funds for his own build among other less than above board behaviour. Leaving several clients with half (or less) finished homes. What this tells me is that their head office in Aus don’t have high standards with who they let own franchises here. Definitely look into how long the current franchise owners have had it, and if less than 10 years I’d avoid like the plague if it were me. Not worth the risk of a half finished home.

Hi Sajed, I agree with Paul’s comment. Try Ctrl F and enter Landmark in the box, scroll down to some similar questions/comments about them, then ask yourself why you are going with a franchise builder, (ie what will you get from it, other than the name), rather than an individual local firm. Because basically that’s all that most of them are. Then ask yourself why you’re planning to build (with all the almost inevitable hassle, and higher cost than you expected) when building costs are so high, and you can try to bargain on the price of one already built (plus knowing exactly what you’re getting for your money).

Yes we have, find someone else.
