We built our dream home with Hallmark Homes and couldn’t be happier! As new arrivals from the U.K. with no building experience, we were blown away by how supportive and flexible the Hallmark team was. We were involved in every detail of our architecturally designed home — and felt like we were their only clients! It’s a family-run business with amazing staff who made the whole journey smooth and exciting. We now live in a beautiful home that turns heads — people often stop to ask who built it! Highly recommend Hallmark Homes, no matter your budget — they’ve got options to suit everyone. We walked in as clients and left feeling like family.

It just felt like a no-brainer for us - you really got on our wavelength, and we could tell straight away it was a great move working with such genuine people

Hamish and Lydia Hodgson

Caitlin was great to work with throughout the process of designing our first home. We came in not really knowing anything about how building a house works, but she walked us through everything clearly and made the whole experience much less overwhelming. She was always proactive, quick to respond, and really helpful whenever we had questions. On top of that, she was friendly and easy to talk to, which made a big difference. We felt supported the whole way through and ended up with a design we’re really happy with.

Our first builder got liquidated, just after the house got wrapped. It was a horrible bit to go from there, so this time we chose to go with a more reputable brand, a company that had been in the game longer, not just one flashy one that turned up! That gave us that enjoyment because we've been through the process before and the bad side and now, we've seen how good it was with this build. Credit to the Hallmark staff they have been amazing the whole way through, and nothings been an issue for them either!

The Lesters

It was a really good experience all up, they made us feel part of their team or family! You don't feel like another number, it was a personal experience, and we didn't know what we were doing and there was support right through which was really cool and we couldn't recommend them enough!

Shaun and Kelly Dalzell

I highly recommend Hallmark Homes, we enjoyed the entire process as we were working with them for nearly 2 years. From start to finish it was a lengthy process at the start with me trying to make decisions on what I wanted in the house and getting my husband to agree with them, they were great. I really think they are one of the best building companies in Christchurch which I highly recommend!

Angela Fairmaid

The entire process, from start to finish, has been excellent. The team was honest and transparent every step of the way, delivering exactly what they promised with the build. Everyone I interacted with was kind and professional - starting with Jodi, Fiona, Debbie, Chris and of course Fi and Georgia too. Every interaction was a 10/10 experience.

James Brown

We just moved into our beautiful home this week it's been finished to high standards (my husband's very fussy). Debbie is the absolute superstar to the company she's an absolute angel and I'm so thankful for her and all her hard work getting us in, in time and putting up with me!

Nicola Reed

The team at Hallmark have been absolutely amazing. Building during a pandemic was very scary and I was very nervous about the whole thing. Hallmark have helped me through this whole process, they have answered all my questions (and I had a lot)! They have suggested improvements which have added a lot of value to my house. I also liked how a lot of other people/organisations like the valuer, lawyer etc where like "oh good, they are easy to deal with" when I said I was building with Hallmark. I love my house and I cannot recommend them highly enough!

Rebecca Dobson

From the first time we walked into the Lincoln show home, we were impressed with the level of quality and finish. From the beginning of the build process, Hayley, Mike, Chris & Debbie were great to deal with and nothing was too much hassle, despite the restrictions imposed through Covid and supply demands. Our Homestar 6 home is a very warm welcoming home which we enjoy living in and are very proud of. We would recommend Hallmark Homes to anyone thinking of building their new home.

Sue Henderson

We are a young couple with 2 kids that moved from Auckland to the South Island in late 2022. This is our second time building our home from the ground up. If there is one consistent feedback i've received from the building suppliers in our area - it's that Hallmark Homes definitely knows what they're doing. I can attest to this, as we appreciate the expert advice given to help increase the value of our home from the design to the layout in a very practical manner. The consultants do what they say - and are easy and lovely to deal with. With much attention and focus on our build - our building consent was approved in record time - 6 working days! (this is subject to council timeframes of course). We are really thankful to have selected Hallmark Homes to be a part of our journey.

“Hallmark Homes” did an excellent job constructing our house. They were attentive to our needs and preferences, and the quality of their workmanship was top-notch. Communication throughout the project was clear and timely. We are very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend them to others.

Igor and Irina Gaghis

We chose Hallmark Homes to build our new house on our rural property. We had never built a house before so we were nervous about the process. The staff at Hallmark were completely professional, always available to help us, and made it as stress free as possible for us. We are so happy with our new home and cannot recommend Hallmark enough!

Sarah Bennett

From the time I met Hayley the sales person, I felt confident about her approach and knowledge. As we moved through the building process we had a manager oversee each step. Very professional and excellent problem solving skills. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer house. I would certainly recommend Hallmark Homes.

Shelley Forrest

Hallmark Homes was recommended to us not only for their quality of service, but also for their quality of character. We are completely happy with the workmanship, price and timing to complete our New home. Whole Hallmark team is super trustworthy and passionate about construction. 5 stars for communication as well.

Djakuteman

Hallmark Homes are awesome. They built my nephew's home and I'd just love to be able to say start a Lincoln Plan for me tomorrow!

Anne Williams

We approached Hallmark to assist with building our dream home. This also being our first home, we were very new to the process and what was involved and Hallmark made this so effortless for us. They were in constant communication via email, calls and face to face meetings throughout the entire build so we always knew at what stage things were at and what was scheduled next. We didn’t feel rushed or pressured into making any hasty decisions also offering up their perspectives on certain choices which made things so much easier. If you’re ever looking at building a home we would hands down recommend Hallmark. You will not be disappointed with the wealth of knowledge, professionalism and workmanship overall.

Lisa & Court Marr

We invested in a Hallmark showhome and got involved in the build halfway through the building process. From our first meeting we were impressed by their friendly, professional and helpful service. The whole process until completion was stress free and exciting to follow. We found the communication from everyone at the Hallmark Homes’ team very honest, transparent and prompt throughout the process. The house is very well designed, sunny and built to the highest standards with above average insulation, ducted heating and double glassed e-glass and meets the highest Homestar certification, which is Hallmark Home’s point of difference. Your home will be a warmer, drier, efficient & a healthier home. The bonus is that a certified HomeStar home could qualify for discounted mortgage rates from certain retail banks. If you visit a Hallmark showhome you will see that their homes stand out from the rest! Highly recommend to build with them.

Nico & Lisa Swanepoel

Our journey with hallmark homes has been simply great. The staff is so friendly and accommodating that you feel at ease straightaway. Staff is very professional and always just one phone call away with prompt responses to our concerns with practical solutions that work in the long run. Quality build and a perfect example of great coordination and team work within a company with the focus always being the customer. The Coconstruct app by Hallmark made the whole process soo seemless and stressfree as we were able to access all information relating to our build in real-time over a click of a button. So smart. We highly recommend to build with Hallmark homes if you are looking for genuinely passionate people who care for your journey as they go out of their way to make sure the process of building is quick and stress-free as much as possible. Thank you Mike, Hayley, Jodi, Chris and Debbie for looking after us

Mihir and Ashwita Khadawala

We couldn't be happier living in a Homestar rated home. It has ensured we are living in a warm and ventilated house which was the perfect environment to bring our newborn into as we moved the week she was born. There are financial benefits too of spending a higher initial amount like cheaper electricity bills in winter and a lower interest rate from the bank on our home loan
