Our People in

Whakatāne & Eastern BOP

With 20 year so building under his belt, Landmark Homes franchise owner Steven Painter knows a thing or two about beautiful homes.
After running his own building company for several years, Steven and co-owner Gerry Schumacher teamed up to take on the Taupo-Rotorua-Whakatāne franchise.

Steven's logn years as a master builder and Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) have proven invaluable to running the franchise, particularly in such a large region.

"Being an experienced builder definitely helps you understand the risks around different areas, and that's important when you're speaking to clients,"he says. "I take them through the process, right from the design stage, and tell them what works." Co-owner Gerry is the customer service side of the franchise. An accountant and the former business development manager for Landmark Homes NZ, he's the expert on budgeting and planning. Looking for the best builder in Whakatāne or the Eastern Bay of Plenty?

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.

Alan Basire hasn't been with Landmark long — but it's long enough to know that his dream house is the Coleridge. And why wouldn't it be, when it represents some of the best design and build quality that New Zealand has to offer. Because that's also what Alan is about. When he says that his dream client is former prime minister John Key, it's not a political point he's making. 'I'm inspired by progress and the development of New Zealand,' Alan says. Much like the former PM. The Coleridge is a house any PM would be proud to live in too. Not that Alan is edging towards a career in parliament. In fact, his dream alternative job would be food critic — just not if it involves onboard dining. 'I'm the most likely Landmark person to get sea sick,' he jokes. But, whether it's as a new home consultant, food critic, or even PM, Alan's real priority is his family: his wife, three daughters and two dogs.
