Meet the Platinum Homes Canterbury Team

Led by Licensee Rob Cornelius, the Platinum Homes Canterbury team brings a wealth of experience, practical know-how, and a customer-first approach to home building in the region.

Rob spent over seven years at Platinum Homes’ Head Office as the National Training and IT Manager, supporting franchisees across New Zealand with the systems, tools, and training needed to deliver quality homes. With a broader background in project management across construction, IT, banking, and manufacturing, Rob brings both technical expertise and a solutions-focused mindset to every build.

Platinum Homes in Canterbury is entering a new chapter under Rob’s leadership, with a refreshed team that combines deep industry knowledge with strong local ties. Lorraine Cornelius oversees Accounts, while Sales Consultants James Cornelius and Abi Gibb work together to deliver exceptional client experiences. Together, the team brings diverse expertise and fresh energy to the region.

The Canterbury team is proud to represent a brand that stands for quality, integrity, and innovation. They bring this ethos to every build, whether it’s a family home, investment property, or lifestyle block, and are committed to guiding clients through a smooth and rewarding building journey.
