- Arabella PattersonI’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Laurene, and she is genuinely one of the most passionate, knowledgeable, and caring people I’ve met in the building industry. Her honesty, reliability, creativity, and willingness to go the extra mile for people really stand out. One thing that has particularly impressed me about Laurene and Platinum Homes is their ability to work closely within a client’s budget while still delivering beautiful, functional, high-quality homes — something that seems quite rare in the new build space. I’ve visited their show home and seen many of their designs, and it’s clear that a huge amount of thought goes into creating homes that not only suit the family living in them, but also maintain strong long-term resale appeal. Laurene’s passion for design absolutely shines through in her work, and her knowledge of modern building trends and technology is incredibly impressive. I highly recommend her to anyone considering building a home!5/5 stars
- srujith sirikondaWe recently visited Lourene at Platinum Homes, and the welcome we received was absolutely fantastic! She took the time to sit down with us and was incredibly helpful in walking through their home designs and different layout options. Lourene is knowledgeable, patient, and makes the whole process feel exciting and easy to understand. If you are looking to build a new home and want a warm, professional experience right from the very first meeting, I highly recommend going to see Lourene and the team5/5 stars
- Aaron WolfeI’ve visited the show home in Paerata Rise, and had some loverly interactions with Laurene. She is extremely friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about the process to building your dream home.5/5 stars
