Rod and Jess are Building Communities<br />
Generation Homes ‘in the family’<br />
Rod and Jess Lalich offer the strongest re<strong>co</strong>mmendation<br />
possible <strong>for</strong> Generation Homes – Rod is a third generation<br />
Generation Homes buyer, Jess a se<strong>co</strong>nd generation and their<br />
first home was a Generation Home.<br />
“My parents and grandparents both chose Generation<br />
Homes and Jess’ parents did as well,” says Rod. “We were<br />
looking <strong>for</strong> a business opportunity and when Generation<br />
Homes came up, we jumped on board. The business fitted<br />
our skills perfectly – we are delighted to be part of a service<br />
that gives people worry-free, fixed price home and land<br />
packages that they know will be finished on time. We already<br />
knew the <strong>co</strong>mpany and as clients, understood the processes<br />
and how well they work. We knew what Generation Homes<br />
stands <strong>for</strong>, and it’s the same ethic that we stand <strong>for</strong>. They<br />
are the best, and there’s no point trying to beat the best. It’s<br />
better to join them!”<br />
Testimonials from happy new homeowners <strong>co</strong>nfi rm that building<br />
a Generation Homes home is a breeze. “One out of three clients<br />
has <strong>co</strong>me to Generation Homes through previous experience<br />
with the <strong>co</strong>mpany or through referral from other satisfi ed<br />
customers,” says Rod. “As one customer said to us: ‘The most<br />
stressful part of the process has been choosing the furniture!’”<br />
Patumahoe Village Estate is the latest <strong>co</strong>mmunity development<br />
<strong>for</strong> Generation Homes, an exciting venture offering the rare<br />
opportunity to settle into a quiet, friendly rural <strong>co</strong>mmunity.<br />
“Families are showing keen interest in settling in Patumahoe,”<br />
says Rod. “It has so much going <strong>for</strong> it – an exceptional <strong>co</strong>untry<br />
school and a village with a lot of character. Where else can you<br />
have a <strong>co</strong>uple of drinks at the local pub and walk back home?<br />
The village also has a superette, bakery, restaurants and a<br />
hairdresser. And it’s just minutes from Pukekohe and around 10<br />
minutes to a motorway <strong>co</strong>nnection.”<br />
Rod, an architectural draftsman and Jess, a real<br />
estate administrator, joined Generation Homes two<br />
years ago, serving a<br />
huge area through west,<br />
central, east and south<br />
Auckland. They have<br />
built several show<br />
homes -the latest<br />
under <strong>co</strong>nstruction<br />
at Karaka Lakes is<br />
a two storey home<br />
designed by Rod<br />
and leads the way<br />
in show home<br />
design.<br />
“Generation Homes<br />
housing developments<br />
are about designing and<br />
building <strong>co</strong>mmunities –<br />
neighbourhoods where people<br />
can move in to their newly<br />
<strong>co</strong>mpleted home and straight<br />
away enjoy living there,” says<br />
Jess. “The fi xed price means<br />
that people can budget to that<br />
fi gure and there are no hidden<br />
<strong>co</strong>sts. They know they will be in<br />
their new home exactly when we<br />
say – in a guaranteed 14 weeks.<br />
All builds are to total <strong>co</strong>mpletion –<br />
from earthworks and drainage, down to fences and numbers on<br />
the letterbox. Clients choose from a range of designs that they<br />
will be happy with <strong>for</strong> years, knowing that the products used are<br />
quality and the work of our <strong>co</strong>ntractors is highly professional.”<br />
“We won’t <strong>co</strong>mpromise with these standards,” adds Rod. “We<br />
believe in the best quality products and workmanship. The<br />
<strong>co</strong>ntractors all have an exact building schedule so they know<br />
exactly where they are, and they are as enthusiastic as we are<br />
to build exceptional homes <strong>for</strong> our clients.”<br />

to stand behind.<br />
