A Fresh Start for Platinum Homes Canterbury
Platinum Homes has long been part of the Canterbury building landscape, and we're proud to announce a new chapter for the region - led by someone who knows the Platinum Homes brand better than almost anyone.
Rob Cornelius brings a depth of experience that few can match. Before stepping into the role of Canterbury Licensee, Rob spent over seven years at Platinum Homes Head Office as the National Training and IT Manager - a position that saw him work alongside licensees across New Zealand, equipping them with the systems, tools, and training needed to deliver quality homes consistently.
With a broader career spanning project management across construction, IT, banking, and manufacturing, Rob brings both technical expertise and a solutions-focused mindset to every build. He's not just familiar with how Platinum Homes works - he helped shape it.
A Team Built for Canterbury
Rob is supported by a refreshed team that combines deep industry knowledge with strong local ties. Lorraine Cornelius oversees Accounts, while Sales Consultant James Cornelius is on hand to guide clients through the building journey - from first conversation to front door.
Together, the team brings diverse expertise and genuine enthusiasm to the Canterbury region - and a commitment to the client experience that has always been at the heart of the Platinum Homes brand.
Quality, Integrity, and Innovation
The Canterbury team is proud to represent a brand built on quality, integrity, and innovation - and they bring this ethos to every project, whether it's a family home, an investment property, or a lifestyle block build.
If you've been considering building in Canterbury - or if you've been waiting for the right team to work with - we'd love to connect you with Rob and the team.

One of the biggest differences between building on a lifestyle property and building in a suburban neighbourhood is how your home is serviced.
Buying a lifestyle block is about more than finding a beautiful piece of land. It's about choosing a property that will support the home you want to build and the lifestyle you want to create.
Property investment continues to be a long-term strategy many New Zealanders are exploring as they look to build financial security and grow their wealth over time.
