Landmark Homes Canterbury has been building new homes across Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region since 2007, run by franchisees Coralie and Stephen Pollard from their Belfast office. As Landmark Homes' longest-serving franchisees, the pair bring a combined background in quantity surveying, construction, health and safety, and quality control to a business built on variety rather than repetition.
Stephen, a builder by trade, handles the technical and construction side of the business, while Coralie manages sales, administration and contractors. "We just like building houses!" Coralie says of the appeal after nearly two decades in the role. Their team also includes New Home Consultant Amanda Coster, named Landmark Homes' 2023 New Home Consultant of the Year, who helps clients through the early stages of planning a build.
Landmark Homes Canterbury caters to a wide range of budgets, from a first home 3-bedroom build through to a million-dollar dream home, with over 15 years' experience behind the franchise and a track record of contemporary and classic homes, all built to be earthquake-safe. The company offers five core building services: Custom Design and Build for a home designed entirely around a client's vision, Ready to Build Designs drawn from an award-winning plan range, Remove or Demolish and Rebuild for clients who want to keep their existing site, House and Land Packages that match sections to a suitable design, and a free Feasibility Assessment that evaluates whether a site is suitable for building, developing or subdividing.
Among Landmark's Ready to Build range is a collection of two and three-storey duplex plans aimed at buyers wanting a lower-maintenance, lock-up-and-leave lifestyle without giving up space or quality. The Kawau is a two-level, apartment-style townhouse suited to development sites, buildable as a standalone unit or in groups, with open plan living downstairs and three bedrooms upstairs. The Ponui is a three-level design suited to sloping sites, with a dug-in ground floor entry and mid-level living opening onto an outdoor area. The Rangitoto offers a compact, reversible layout with upstairs living opening onto a large deck, and a luxurious master suite with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. All three designs use cubic lines and natural materials, and can be adapted to individual needs — including the option to add a lift for future-proofing.
Over the years, Landmark Homes Canterbury has been recognised with House of the Year Gold awards in Christchurch in 2018, 2020 and 2022, alongside a TIDA 2025 Group Home Builder Kitchen Highly Commended honour. The franchise also carries the Master Builder accreditation, reflecting its licensed status within the industry.
Landmark Homes Canterbury's office is located at 802 Main North Road, Belfast, Christchurch, open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. The team can be reached by phone to discuss a new build, whether that's starting from a blank canvas with a custom design, choosing from a ready-to-build plan, or getting a free site evaluation before committing to a project. The franchise is also a proud supporter of the SPCA.
