“Being an experienced builder definitely helps you understand the risks around key areas, and that’s important when you’re speaking to clients.”

Our People in

Hawke’s Bay

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.

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. 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. Looking for a builder in Hawke's Bay? Call Landmark Homes Hawke's Bay today!

Ask Gerry Schumacher about anything, and it's likely the answer will somehow come back to golf. Dream house? 'A house on a golf course.' Brilliant. Dream alternative career? 'Professional golfer.' Of course. Most likely at Landmark to do what? 'Organise a golf tournament.' Not that Gerry is your archetypal golf fanatic who can't think of anything else. Of all the houses Landmark has built, for example, his favourite is ... oh wait ... the show home in Kinloch on the Fairways. Scratch that. How about dream holiday? It doesn't involve golf actually — it's hiking to Everest Base Camp. In fact, his biggest inspiration is Sir Edmund Hilary's conquering of Everest in 1953. Gerry is also into yoga, and wouldn't mind attending a yoga retreat in Thailand. If there's one thing he enjoys as much as golf, it's hiking — because there's something about looking out over an amazing vista. Gerry shares ‘home’ with his wife Penny and three children.

Ten years ago, Steve Painter was banging in nails in Wharewaka, only recently self-employed and holding onto a dream he'd had for as long as he could remember: designing homes and building them. When he was very young Steve harboured a dream to fly — but he flies in a different way now, setting lofty goals and making sure he achieves them. It's no coincidence his mantra is: Build to be admired. You could say the same about the character of Steve, a family man and father of 'two epic girls'. The key to Steve's success is the value he puts on relationships. His dream client is a couple who understands the process, is thorough in their design, and who will meet onsite every three weeks to review progress and build and then continue the friendship. That speaks volumes about him. 'I enjoy helping others who want to be helped and put in the effort,' he says. All his clients would agree.

Willie Reynolds

New Home Consultant

027 839 0209

New home consultant Willie Reynolds is no stranger to getting stuck into a task, elbows up, working up a sweat, and getting the job done. He grew up on the family farm in Hawkes Bay and is probably the only Landmark consultant — who admits it anyway — who shears sheep in his spare time. You might say Willie is down to earth. But don’t let the proverbial dirt under the fingernails fool you. Willie has spent his entire career building on the firm ground beneath his feet: 10 years in the construction industry in the South island, managing branches for PlaceMakers and a Frame & Truss plant. All of which came on the back of a law and commerce degree at Otago and property development of his own. Willie’s dream client is someone who’s prepared to invest in the client-consultant relationship, and you can see why — he brings a lifetime of experience to that relationship, with clear end goal of bringing about the client’s dream home in the best way possible. Which is why Willie is a perfect fit at Landmark — what you might call a pig in …. well, you know the rest.
