Stonewood Homes franchisor, Stonewood Christchurch in receivership;

The receiverships will not affect any of the other independently owned Stonewood franchises.

Contractors are counting up what they are owed and customers are wondering when their homes will be built after news Stonewood Homes New Zealand is in receivership.
Glen Taylor, co-owner of fencing hire company ATF Services, said Stonewood Homes owed the business about $50,000.
The debt dated back to October last year, he said.
Taylor knew of 88 Stonewood Homes sites around greater Christchurch that were fenced off and under construction.

"They'll be more where the fencing has been removed... but they're not finished and handed over to the homeowners," Taylor said.
KordaMentha confirmed on Tuesday that Stonewood Homes New Zealand Limited was in receivership at the request of the company.
Grant Graham and Neale Jackson of KordaMentha have been appointed as receivers to the company  and sister companies Stonewood Homes Limited and Sterling Homes (Christchurch) Limited.
Stonewood is one of Canterbury's biggest home builders.
A source close to Stonewood Homes, who did not wish to be named, said staff had a meeting with receivers KordaMentha on Tuesday morning and were asked not to speak to the media.
The source said 110 homes in Christchurch were under construction, but there were many more in the pre-construction stages.
Chris Hughes, manager of Switched On Property Maintenance, said Stonewood Homes owed his company about $15,000.
He believed "we're just a small part of this pie".
"There's other, much bigger, creditors," he said.
Hughes said the company stopped doing work for Stonewood Homes a couple of months ago after hearing rumours "things were going south".
"Clients have contacted us and said they would pay us to finish off their house. It's not ideal at all and you feel terrible for the clients."

CLIENTS' FEARS REALISED

A Christchurch Stonewood Homes client, who did not want to be named, said he signed a building agreement with the company in April last year and paid the required $20,000 deposit.
He had sought multiple assurances from Stonewood after hearing rumours about the company's financial position.
"We continued to receive assurances from the sales consultant as late as Monday last week."
He said his family was paying two mortgages – one on the section and one on their current home.
Stonewood Homes had lodged a consent application with the Christchurch City Council but it had not been paid for.
"We expected to already be some way through the building process.
"We've spent 15 months designing and planning our dream home and we now expect we're back at square one to start the process again."
Another customer, who is building his first home and also did not wish to be named, said no substantial work had been done on his house since the start of December.
He had little confidence of moving in by the April deadline he had hoped for.
"I just want out to be honest, I've had enough."
He said he was told on Friday some materials would arrive on Monday, but Stonewood did not have a contractor to install it.
He was concerned he may have to pay back or extend a Home Start Grant, which required clients to be in their newly built home within a year.

STONEWOOD HOMEOWNERS HAVE MASTER BUILD GUARANTEES

Registered Master Builders Association (RMBA) said while it was regrettable that Stonewood Homes in Christchurch had gone into receivership, all Stonewood Christchurch homeowners had Master Build Guarantees, therefore all of their homes would be completed.
Association chief executive David Kelly said: "We will be working with the receivers - KordaMentha - closely to ensure that while they work on behalf of the secured creditors, we will be doing our best to ensure that the guarantees are not compromised so the homes are completed.
"We will help KordaMentha find RMBA members who can take over the contracts. This could take some time to sort out."
He advised homeowners not to contract new builders, as the original Stonewood Homes building contract had a guarantee, which was owned by the receivers, Kelly said.
"We will be discussing with them the best way forward for the homeowners and helping them find RMBA members who are able to take over the contracts."
RMBA was in the process of contacting all of the Stonewood Homes Christchurch homeowners to inform them of the process and ensure - in the short term - they did nothing to compromise their rights under the guarantee, Kelly said.
"It is because of unfortunate circumstances like this receivership that RMBA developed the Master Build Guarantee.
"From time to time, regrettably businesses fail," he said.
"RMBA is committed to supporting its members with programmes that help them run better businesses, unfortunately this does not mean that failure does not occur."

STONEWOOD TROUBLES

Earlier this month, Stonewood Homes NZ chief executive Warwick Isaacs said its Christchurch branch was in the "final stages of reinvestment" and warned customers of potential building delays. Isaacs would not comment on the matter on Monday.
Former richlister and Christchurch International Airport boss Jim Boult resigned as a director of the three in-receivership Stonewood companies Stonewood Homes Christchurch, Stonewood Homes and Sterling Homes at the start of February, according to Companies Office records.
Boult said at the time: "I simply had a conflict of interest so it was time for me to leave."
Stonewood's Hamilton franchise went into liquidation on January 13, owing $1.46 million to creditors.
The company's Marlborough branch went into liquidation last year owing more than $1m.

RECEIVERS 'WORKING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE'

Stonewood Homes NZ is the master franchisor for the Stonewood Homes network. Stonewood Homes Ltd holds the Stonewood franchise for Christchurch.
KordaMentha said the receiverships did not affect any of the other independently owned Stonewood franchises operating throughout New Zealand.
"Having just been appointed, we are working as quickly as possible to establish the companies' financial position and a path forward for the receiverships.
"We will communicate with all affected parties as we work through this process," Graham said.
The Stonewood Homes franchise was established in 1987 by Brent and Sue Mettrick with 21 franchise locations across New Zealand. It has built close to 6000 homes since then.
Brent Mettrick has not returned calls.

他们公司里面乱的很，  我们公司给他们提供货前两年，  去年年中我们公司把他们踢出去了，
太混乱了， 不是一般的乱。  

具体的原因不知道， 但是瞅着这管理， 不倒闭怎么可能呢？

谁找他们家盖房子算倒霉了，  唉

小娃娃

是啊，刚才一个contractor还来哭诉呢，一点办法没有

飙车yi族

举个简单的例子：

他们project manager 给我们打电话 说一块地的货是你们给么？ 帮我们查查， 你妈的我们都晕了，
自己在那里那东西都不知道

小娃娃

内部管理太混乱了，到时间倒闭了。

剑客浪心

管理混乱导致质量问题，之后大批诉讼，不如提前倒闭规避未来法律风险。
