Making a Mark on the World
Episode Overview
In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Jarrod Angove, General Manager of Landmark Homes North Shore and Rodney, to unpack everything you need to know about designing and building a new home in New Zealand. With over 14 years at Landmark and decades of combined experience in construction and client relationships, Jarrod is on a mission to make the home-building process transparent, enjoyable, and tailored to each client’s lifestyle.
Jarrod shares the Landmark philosophy of building “alongside” the client—a people-first approach grounded in the company’s core values of integrity and relationships. He explains how Landmark’s unique structure, long-standing franchise network, and experienced in-house teams support clients from concept to handover, removing the stress and uncertainty often associated with building.
Whether you’re looking at a ready-to-build plan, a house-and-land package, or a fully custom architectural design, Jarrod offers clear advice on how each path works, what to expect, and how to get started. He also shares why many clients are now knocking down and rebuilding on their existing site—often in suburbs they already love—instead of moving house.
Listeners will learn about:
- The differences between standard plans, design-build, and house-and-land packages
- How Landmark Homes offers fixed-price contracts and detailed specifications upfront
- Why early engagement with the right team reduces surprises and improves outcomes
- How Landmark’s in-house designer, project managers, and partnerships create a seamless, highly personalised experience
- The role of show homes and case studies in helping clients visualise their dream
From selecting finishes to navigating council consents, Jarrod breaks the build process into three manageable phases: design & pricing, working drawings & consents, and construction. He highlights how important communication is throughout each phase, and how his team’s proactive project management keeps everything on track, including regular client updates, milestone walkthroughs, and hands-on support.
Jarrod also explains the importance of partnerships with trades and suppliers, Landmark’s Master Builders guarantees, and the extensive after-care program, including a digital homeowner portal and 12-month defect warranty.
As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear why so many Landmark clients become repeat builders—and even invite Jarrod and his team to their housewarmings. From thoughtful design to final handover, Landmark Homes delivers not just a build, but a trust-based relationship that lasts well beyond the construction timeline.
Whether you’re ready to design your dream home or just exploring your options, this episode is packed with real-world advice, heartfelt stories, and practical strategies to turn your vision into a home with confidence, clarity, and care.

You don’t see it when you walk through a finished home – but this stage matters most. 🏠
Before the paint goes on at The Point Showhome in Pt Chevalier, the internal systems are locked in. Linings are installed, services are complete and insulation is in place, setting the foundation for long-term comfort and performance.
It may not be the most glamorous moment in the build, but it’s one of the most important.

When space is tight, good design gets creative. 💡At our Auckland Central West Showhome, a curved wall was introduced to work around an easement, transforming a constraint into a defining architectural feature.
Rather than compromise the layout, the design responded intelligently to the site, improving flow while making better use of every square metre.
It’s a reminder that thoughtful design doesn’t just solve problems. It elevates them.

All design begins with inspiration. ✨
Before construction starts, ideas are refined through textures, tones and carefully curated materials. For the Auckland Central West Showhome, the direction was modern yet softened, layered with warmth and subtle contrast.
Mood boards help bring clarity to every decision, from exterior selections through to interior finishes, ensuring the final result feels cohesive, calm and completely liveable. It’s in these early stages that a home’s personality truly begins to take shape.
