meet the team
Steven Painter, Gerry Schumacher, and Tony Lafferty recently opened the Hawke’s Bay franchise to meet the increasing demand for unique and exceptional builds in this popular region. Steven and Gerry also co-own Landmark’s Taupō franchise, while Tony is stepping into co-ownership from his role as Landmark Homes Taupo’s award-winning Construction Manager.
The highly accomplished trio combine a wealth of experience within the building industry and a long track record of working together and delivering outstanding results. Unlike bigger cities that are experiencing a shortage of available land, Hawke’s Bay has plenty of room for growth with several large subdivisions under development. So, if you’re thinking about building in Hawke’s Bay, take the first step and give the team a call today.
“Hawke’s Bay is a beautiful spot with so much to offer, stunning vistas, wineries, beaches, great shopping, lovely communities, and of course just a relaxed way of living,” says Gerry. Whoever bowls into their Hawke's Bay office can expect a smile, a happy vibe, and a positive experience.
