108 | Trusting the process the key for Parm Specialising in new residential builds, subdivisions and multi-lot developments, Parm and the team manage the entire process, from land acquisition and design, through to construction, compliance and client handover. Stonex Homes “Our portfolio now spans a wide range of housing types, from affordable family homes to premium architectural residences, reflecting both our versatility and commitment to quality.” BUILDING Parm Mann founded Stonex Homes in 2018 with a very clear purpose — raising the standard of residential construction in New Zealand. “And achieving that by also delivering homes that combine architectural quality, function design and lasting value,” Parm says. Carrying years of experience in property development and civil construction prior to establishing Stonex Homes meant Parm brought a whole set of skills and experiences to the table. His goal from the beginning was to create a building company that clients could genuinely trust. “We have always focussed on craftsmanship, transparency and long-term relationships rather than volume.” Proof that Parm delivers capabilities and values sought by the market is evidenced by very strong growth. In its first year, Stonex Homes built six homes; today that number has been well and truly eclipsed, building 70 plus homes a year. Specialising in new residential builds, subdivisions and multi-lot developments, Parm and the team manage the entire process, from land acquisition and design, through to construction, compliance and client handover. “Our portfolio now spans a wide range of housing types, from affordable family homes to premium architectural residences, reflecting both our versatility and commitment to quality.” With a highly-skilled team, sharing the same vision for quality, innovation and integrity, today Stonex Homes is building 40-50 homes at a time, with an average build time of 5-6 months. “We work alongside experienced site managers, quantity surveyors, and project coordinators who ensure each project runs smoothly from concept to completion. We’re also proud of our long-term relationships with trusted subcontractors and suppliers who understand and uphold our standards.” There are ambitious plans to expand the operation further into the South Island, where the company already has projects underway in Central Otago and Queenstown. T T Sue Russell “We’re also going to look at opportunities in Tauranga and Palmerston North. In Auckland we cover the South and East and I’m excited to see we’re going to expand projects into Central and West Auckland soon.” Most projects begin with land acquisition and development. Homes are offered ‘off the plans’ within Stonex Homes subdivisions. “We also take on private builds for clients who already own land and wish to construct homes based on their own designs. That combination allows us to serve a diverse range of homeowners, from first-time buyers to investors and families upgrading to a higher-spec lifestyle.” Parm acknowledges that the last two years have been particularly challenging for the construction sector, with rising materials costs, supply delays and tighter lending conditions. Despite this, he’s proud to say Stonex Homes has performed exceptionally well, maintaining consistent delivery and project flow. “We’ve achieved this through strategic planning and disciplined management. Our ability to adapt quickly, maintain strong supplier relationships and plan ahead financially has allowed us to stay ahead in a competitive environment.” 021 793 081 | plumbing4ukim@gmail.com PLUMBING 4 LIMITED Parm knows that the success achieved to date has come from adhering to three core principles: consistency in quality, transparency and trust, and nurturing strong relationships. One highlight he’s very proud of is the completion of the Show Home in Ardmore. “It’s a 640sqm home with pool, movie theatre and many more facilities. We also completed a 7-house construction project in Cromwell in October this year.” Parm says Stonex Homes takes pride in being more than just builders, by delivering high-spec homes at the cost of a basic spec. “Every home we build is designed to stand the test of time, giving families a place they’re proud to call home.”
