When Scottish couple Sam and Audrey Watts
decided to move down to Canterbury from Mapua,
Nelson, they were in the market for a new build, and
location-wise, they liked the look of Pegasus Town.
However, to make sure it was the right
place for them, for a year they rented a
home there. Over that time, they visited
several show homes and builders before
finally deciding to go with Benchmark.
They had built previously, so knew what
they wanted in a building company.
Sam explains: “We were looking for
builders who were competent. How
they present themselves is important.
Benchmark has welcoming offices and
premises, and the show homes are
well presented.
“But it wasn’t just about competence,”
he says. “When we started to speak
to Benchmark it was the people that
impressed us – they are a really energetic
bunch of people. We liked their
whole vibe.”
A Pegasus section with a perfect
view of the golf course was the chosen
location, and once the decision was
made, the goal was to have the home
completed in six months, so Sam and
Audrey could be in by Christmas. It was
a tight deadline, but Benchmark was
able to meet it, with the couple happily
celebrating the completion, and the
festive season, surrounded by
cardboard boxes.
Large windows in the living areas
provide expansive views of the
golf course.
