YOUR HOME BUILDING PARTNER

Rowan and Donna Lee, Blenheim Managers of Peter Ray Homes, are a couple with similar goals, aspirations and passions. They grew up in the Marlborough region and have three children; 2 daughters, and a son who has just set off on his first year of varsity.

Donna enjoys mountain biking in the outskirts of Marlborough having completed many small biking events including the Molesworth Muster and grueling Moa Hunt. Most recently she has taken up running on the Wither Hills Farm Park and spends time jet skiing in the summer with the family.

Donna came from a background in the service industry but had an interest in home renovation and design. These interests lead Donna to study for a National Diploma of Quantity Surveying which drew her into the commercial building industry. After spending time as an assistant QS and administrator moved into a site supervisor position. This has allowed Donna to have an excellent perspective of what it takes to manage building projects in a mostly male dominated industry. Having a woman's perspective for the finer details when assisting clients with their design requests is a great asset.

Rowan has been involved in the local community and sporting events over the years having played rugby, soccer, softball & tennis. He has also dedicated 10 years to the local voluntary fire service. His hobbies include motor vehicle restoration and motor cycling along with family events such as camping, fishing & jet skiing.

Rowan started his working career in the motor industry but developed a passion for housing construction early on after completing his first home at 20, assisting a local builder. After moving into the Insurance Loss Adjusting profession he developed the skills to quantify and manage building projects. This along with many personal building projects realized the dream to make this a full time occupation. The transition into residential housing was natural and he finds it an enjoyable industry to be involved in. Everyday is a new challenge and it is a pleasure to turn people's dreams into reality.
