Driving around Christchurch it’s not difficult to see Williams Corporation’s contribution to the city landscape. Founded by friends Matthew William Horncastle and Blair William Chappell in 2012, Williams Corporation has delivered nearly 2000 new homes in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland quickly becoming one of the largest residential developers in New Zealand. Specialising in inner-city townhouse development, Williams Corporation's success is deeply rooted in a clear vision and purpose: to build better cities and create a more liveable country. Blair says the focus is on producing high-quality homes in existing suburbs, fostering environments where people can seamlessly live, work, and play. “Homes that are affordable to buy, live in and maintain is our goal,” he says. Williams Corporation operates in the infill development space, acquiring old homes in need of redevelopment and replacing them with high-quality townhouses. Blair says this approach aligns with their values of pushing boundaries, improving housing development processes and producing homes that stand the test of time. It only uses exceptional materials with a proven history of quality and locally sourced where possible. Williams Corporation's foundational values, instilled by Matthew and Blair, serve as guiding principles in every aspect of their business. Innovation and design, leadership, trust, and community are the pillars that underpin their operations. Matthew is at the helm of Williams Corporation's daily operations, overseeing a myriad of responsibilities encompassing land acquisition, development design, resource consents, development sales, marketing, and finance. With over a decade of experience in the construction industry and a qualification as a builder, Matthew adeptly manages the intricacies of complex development projects. Blair brings his expertise as a business analyst to the forefront, boasting over seven years of experience in the construction industry. He is well versed in the nuances of development projects, shouldering responsibilities such as product and contractor procurement, pricing, site management, and building consents. Blair's extensive knowledge contributes significantly to the smooth execution of Williams Corporation's ventures. Blair says that Williams Corporation’s success is a direct result of its values and our culture. “By instilling our values and culture within everyone who works with, or for our business, we ensure that everyone can make decisions in the best interest of the company. That means everyone is a leader in our company, which is reflected in our flat staffing structure. We believe all our staff are professionals, and entrust the success of the company in everyone’s hands.” Although specialising in inner city developments Williams Corporation has also occasionally completed bespoke client builds and is proud to collaborate with local businesses that align with its vision such as Modi Design, which it worked with recently on a build in Chester Street West. “Our relationships with contractors and customers alike are built on trust,” says Blair. “Only through trust will we be able to achieve our vision of building a more liveable city.” Williams Corporation showcases a range of homes currently for sale in Auckland, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch on williamscorporation.co.nz The website also has a range of free resources and events to help people get educated in property Williams Corporation: Shaping Communities and Building Better Cities
