- IainAfter being a trade partner with Hallmark Homes for many years, when the time came to build my own I could look no further for a builder I could trust. With the transition from subbie to client I felt I was treated with respect and guidance through a process I have never done before. It was great to have the be on the other side of the table to really experience the Hallmark difference. Competitive pricing, Quality builds and great communication made our build a fantastic experience. It went so well we built with them a second time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hallmark to anyone. I will be using them again for future builds. Great job team! Here's hopeing Chris has another 10 years in him he is an upstanding asset to have in charge of a build. Jodis technical and problem solving knowledge was second to none and is always trying to go above and beyond. Mike and Esther have built a fantastic team around them which has proven the key to their success in Christchurch.5/5 stars
- nickt61We built our dream home with Hallmark Homes and couldn’t be happier! As new arrivals from the U.K. with no building experience, we were blown away by how supportive and flexible the Hallmark team was. We were involved in every detail of our architecturally designed home — and felt like we were their only clients! It’s a family-run business with amazing staff who made the whole journey smooth and exciting. We now live in a beautiful home that turns heads — people often stop to ask who built it! Highly recommend Hallmark Homes, no matter your budget — they’ve got options to suit everyone. We walked in as clients and left feeling like family.5/5 stars
- Marcus GibsonHallmark Homes built our dream home! as a young couple with a wee one and another on the way it was certainly a busy time in our lives. There was never a judgment stemming from this situation, Hallmark trusted our vision right from the start. Hallmark's family feel and professional manner from beginning to end was a pleasure to deal with. Multiple design changes along the way, plenty of patience and the willingness to work towards a fixed priced build contract before signing made all the difference in making our choice. We could not be more happy in our forever home, being two months in after handover and knowing that not only the build, but also the follow through care from Hallmark will be stress free and secure. We could not recommend them enough, we truly believe that Hallmark wanted the house perfect just as much if not more than we as clients did. We hope that sometime in the near future we can use their services again :) Special mention to Chris our site manager for his constant efforts often leading late into the evening. The answered texts and calls out of hours and always such positive communication with a smile. Debbie for her incredible time management and co-ordination skills. We always heard chaotic stories from others re deadlines with building but we knew with Debbie as our project manager that this would never be the case for us. Always assisting in ironing out the finest of details and again constant communication. Finally, an honourable mention to a former employee Hayley. Hayley was with us right at the start of our journey from when I first walked into Hallmarks showhome with the idea of building on our recently purchased section. Hayley and I worked side by side in perfecting our custom build design based off a Hallmark website plan. Hayley's skill and professionalism and handover to the team re our custom design and build was unmatched. Thank You Hallmark Homes Marcus and Milen Gibson5/5 stars
