Tasman: Mike Greer Homes - Nelson & Marlborough BUILDING Proud suppliers of Building materials to Mike Greer Homes A new Mike Greer Homes show home in Richmond, Nelson is turning heads. “It’s a modern design with a sophisticated and spacious feel. But this inspirational flare also supports a practical floor plan so it’s definitely a very liveable home. Everyone that comes through just loves it,” says one of Mike Greer Homes Nelson and Marlborough’s owners Trevor Lineham. Opened in April, the family home showcases Mike Greer Homes’ standard offering along with upgraded features so people can see where they might want to maximise their budget. Clad in cedar and Rockcote with feature schist, the 208sqm home features three double bedrooms and an office or additional bedroom, two bathrooms, separate laundry, and a double garage. The covered outdoor area is surrounded by indoor living spaces including the separate lounge, kitchen, living, and dining, making the indoor/outdoor flow seamless and bringing in lots of natural light. The home boasts extra features including skylights, window seating, fireplace, scissor trusses and a workshop in the garage. Trevor and Ben Malthus own the businesses. Both are qualified builders who have known each other for decades before taking the plunge to buy into the Mike Greer Homes business in 2020 after working as contract builders then as Mike Greer Homes project managers. It was a bold move during the time of Covid-19 uncertainty but it’s proved to be the right decision as the pair has been extremely busy with the building boom. Between them Trevor and Ben, both Licensed Building Practitioners, offer around 50 years experience as builders. Mike Greer Homes Nelson and Marlborough are members of Master Builders.

That’s why we make every effort to exceed customer expectations and to create homes that stand the test of time in terms of both design and construction,” says Trevor. The company’s slogan is ‘your home, your way’ and Trevor says consultation with clients figures highly. “We work with clients to tailor the package that’s right for their lifestyle and budget. We give them choices so that the house truly becomes their home. Customers appreciate our willingness to modify plans to suit their individual requirements. It’s their home and we never lose sight of this.” As an example Mike Greer Homes’ clients get a three hour session with a colour consultant during their build rather than choosing the colours with a salesperson as can be the norm with other build companies. Clients also get consultations with most of the trades working on aspects of their home such as kitchen and wardrobe. While a range of plans are available, in reality most clients want to make changes creating a truly individual home. Mike Greer Homes can also draw a plan from scratch to the client’s wish list. Trevor says that the market is now steady “At Mike Greer Homes, we bring you more. That’s why we make every effort to exceed customer expectations and to create homes that stand the test of time ...”
