New Home Construction Services in Christchurch, Canterbury

“MCAS has been working with Anthony from Smith and Sons Renovations & Extensions Port Hills on a number of residential alterations. We have recommended him to a client of ours for a house renovation and extension. The work has been carried out timely and in budget and Anthony proved again to have a proactive and cooperative approach.”

“We engaged Yellow River construction to build our new home, from the concept plan to completion, Ricky was very honest and his professionalism guided us through the whole process. Passers by often admired and praised the quality finishes! We have no hesitation recommend to anyone who are looking to build with Yellow River construction.”

“From the get go we decided that communication was a very important part of the build process and it quickly became apparent that Build7 were on the same page. Within 3 days of meeting Jamie for the first time we had a quote and basic plan in our hands. He was understanding of our budget constraints and was excellent at coming up with alternatives to make our ideas come to life. There are no hidden agendas or costings with Build7, all contractor quotes were provided to us. We really appreciated this as it made us feel comfortable that we were not being taken for ride, which we know is something that can happen for first time builders. We signed up with Build 7 and were quickly introduced to the rest of the team whose communication was just as good as Jamie's. We had fulfilling and helpful meetings with everyone, from colour consultants through to electricians. Each and everyone of them taking as much pride in their work as Build7 did. We broke ground in September. The build process and communication continued to be absolutely seamless from this point on as we were able to move into our house within 15 weeks; 1 month ahead of schedule. We had regular site meetings throughout the process to ensure we were always fully informed, and if we had any questions about what was going on Jamie was always happy to respond. As first home buyers we feel very lucky to have come across Build7. They went above and beyond throughout the whole experience, including pushing to get us in to our house just before Christmas. Thanks to Build7 we now have a beautiful home and cannot recommend these guys more highly. We can't wait to build another home with Build7 in the future.”

“When it came to building our own house, Max and his team came on board to help put the finishing touches on the design and detail up our plans. They were very accommodating, considering that, as clients who work in the industry, we were very much a part of the process. Max helped to push some aspects of the design architecturally, and we are really happy with the end result. They were professional but still approachable and friendly to deal with. MCAS are passionate about sustainable design, which is very important to us too, so they were a great fit for us and our project.”

“I found BD Construction to be professional, trustworthy, extremely helpful with all aspects of my major earthquake repairs. Their standard of work throughout the main part of the contract has been exceptional. When quoting for additional work all accounts were finalised exactly to the quote. Basically they went above and beyond what was required of them in all aspects of the repair process.I would highly recommend them as a company that gets the difficult jobs done to a high standard.”

““We were told that building a new home can be one of the most stressful things in life…David and his team went out of their way to make our build an enjoyable experience. It was important to us that we felt we were part of the build and not just looking on, from day dot David involved us in the decision making and kept us well informed of happenings. David always had an open mind to new ideas and is a willing listener, this allowed us to implant our finger print on the outcome. David’s support network of trades meant we were able to obtain true value. We’re very proud of the result and from our first day living here it felt like a real home”

“Fortified homes are an amazing home company. I am thrilled to bits with my new home that was designed for me at no extra cost. I was told it would be a long hard road building but instead Mike & Courtenay made it so easy from start to finish. Mike made it easy to make the budget work and because of this over runs were non existent unlike many other companies. Quality was exceptional for their standard products and the time to build was only 15 weeks from start to finish. I couldn't rate them highly enough!! If you want a great home at a great price with a good honest building company then this is the one you should choose.”

“I have never seen anyone get more excited about a new building than the people of Redcliffs. I could barely get any work done! The story starts, as so many others in Christchurch, with earthquakes and demolition. The team at Young Architects has close ties to the neighbourhood, and was involved in the rebuild of the community library from the very beginning. They took up the challenge of designing an inviting public meeting space that reflects its community. From the red colour of the building to the gable construction reminiscent of the spines on a bookshelf, the library is a space Redcliffs is very proud of, as I soon learned. Since I happen to live down the road, I did more than my usual share of bullying the client into involving me. I knew the semi-translucent gable would be perfect for blue hour photography once finished. I got really excited picturing the final images in my mind's eye. When Greg Young and I finally toured the library, the degree of pride in the community was almost overwhelming. People stopped us repeatedly in the streets to tell their library stories, express how proud they are, and what a good guy Greg is. There were even a few hugs. While I was shooting the building a little while later, people repeatedly told me how happy they were with their new library. It was touching to see how connected everyone felt with this space. I hope the images will do the project justice.”

“We built a 3 bedroom Fraemohs kitset home about 30 years ago, and then added another bedroom and bathrrom not long after. If you want warmth in the winter, and cool in the summer, there's nothing better than natural timber. Friends we sceptical of the wood finish, but we never tired of the lovely pine knots and grain. Sadly we sold and moved away, but have always wanted to do it again, although next time we wouldn't build ourselves... getting too old for that. They were a great company to deal. I note their latest designs look great too.”

“Sam Fleetwood undertook to modernize and improve a 1970's wooden holiday home and also to create a fully equipped sleepout from a plain old shed. He had a clear understanding of what was required but was also able to suggest some very good, practical improvements. Bathrooms were added, layouts including stairs were altered, decks improved and the interior painted and exterior stained. Sam organized all the planning permissions and saw the project through very thoroughly. The result is a great success.”
