Landmark Homes has long been recognised for our building excellence and exceptional customer service. We spoke to founder Paul Clarke about how he managed to achieve this milestone.
For over 45 years, Landmark Homes co-founder Paul Clarke has been at the forefront of cutting-edge design and technology in the home building industry.
From the beginning, Paul wanted Landmark to design and build homes that were a cut above the “boxes” that other companies were building.
During this time, Landmark’s ethos was simple: they wanted to create beautiful homes of superior quality that people were proud to live in.
“Initially, some people would come to us with designs already created and looking for a price to build their home. We often found that the cost to build was much higher than the budget they had specified for their designer,” Paul says.
“We discovered that while the architect or designer had drafted a wonderful home that fitted the client’s vision, there were no solid processes to ensure the home would suit the site and the client’s budget.”
Using innovative and cost-effective materials that meet the client’s brief and level of investment without compromising on quality, the company realised it had a wealth of knowledge that could be used to increase overall economic efficiency for its clients.
This led the Landmark team to create a comprehensive design brief that allowed them to gather all the information they needed to ensure their clients got the home they wanted while saving precious time and money.
“Landmark developed a design brief; part of that was an area calculation sheet that we used to go through the plan of the home room-by-room,” Paul says. “I recall several occasions where the client walked out and said, ‘Wow, that was great,’ because we asked questions about things that they hadn’t even considered.”
Over the years, this design brief process has been perfected, leading to the creation of our exceptional pre-costed house plans.
Paul’s ethos and determination to craft luxury and cost-effective homes that stand the test of time has created a welcoming, knowledgeable, innovative, and practical culture that flows through every builder, designer, and tradesperson working for Landmark. This makes the company the perfect creative partner for designing and building your dream home.
“We always try to stay ahead of the curve regarding design, new innovations, new materials, and claddings. We are one big family. When we have a team meeting, we all share all information. We share news of new products, services, and innovations and see how those might help our clients,” says Paul.
Whatever your need to create your dream home, Landmark Homes has the knowledge and experience to bring your vision to life.
Not only does Landmark offer desirable and affordable Ready to Build house plans, but their passion for going the extra mile to create a home that is as showstopping as it is comfortable and functional is what really sets Landmark apart from all the rest. And that, as Paul says, is exactly what “makes our houses true Landmarks.”
