Chris & Jennifer Lucas
Success Story
“The experience that we had with Platinum Homes from day one, right through to the handover has been sensational. We weren't just the client; we weren't just the customer. We were part of the build.”Meet Chris & Jennifer from Northland who recently built a stunning new Platinum Home in the most picturesque location.
Thinking they were firmly settled in Auckland after completing an extensive renovation, and with plans of retirement nearing, Chris and Jennifer were thrown a curveball.
Their daughter, Fiona, and her husband, Sam, discovered a stunning piece of land in Ōmāpere, Northland and asked them if they'd be interesting in building a new home, right next door. After being immediately captivated by the breathtaking setting, they decided to embark on a new chapter, building the retirement home they had always dreamed of.
With Jennifers eye for design, and a homemade sketch of their vision plotted out on an excel spreadsheet, they approached Platinum Homes with their unique design.
Happily reassured by the Platinum team that they could transform the sketch of their dream home, into a tangible reality, Chris and Jennifer began their journey and haven't looked back since!
It was a bold move. “We needed to find somebody who would actually play their part in helping us to achieve the dream. And we did find that company, and that was Platinum Homes. They not only went with it; they went with it with bells on! ”says Chris.
The couple were delighted that the Platinum team could create a home from their own bespoke “homemade house plan,” personalising it for them, and when changes were requested through the build, nothing was too difficult.
