About Greenland Homes
Greenland Homes is a Christchurch home builder working from an office at 125 Blenheim Road in Riccarton. Their philosophy is that building a home is about far more than four walls and a roof — it should be flexible, cost-effective and shaped around your unique lifestyle. As the team puts it, "We don't just build houses; we build relationships."
The company offers two main pathways to a new home. Design and Build gives you a library of dozens of named floor plans — Kānuka, Mānawa, Horopito, Takawa and many more — every one of which can be personalised, with in-house architects and designers available to craft a completely unique design. Home and Land packages pair a Greenland home with a section to take the guesswork out of building, with land currently sourced in Halswell, Lincoln, West Melton, Casebrook and Rolleston, and live packages at Bellgrove, Prebbleton, Falcons Landing and Wigram Grove.
Pricing is deliberately transparent: competitive fixed prices come already loaded with luxury inclusions, so the focus is on what goes in rather than what gets left out, and you can see clearly where you can save when you have a budget to stick to.
Greenland Homes first entered the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards in 2014 and has consistently received multiple design awards year after year since. They are a Registered Master Builder and a Certified Builder, and their website galleries showcase award-winning kitchens, bathrooms, interiors and exteriors from recent builds. Testimonials from clients in Rolleston, Halswell and Karamu describe a smooth, hassle-free process led by Managing Director Sean and Design and Sales Manager Cheryl. Note: the website currently states there are no show homes open.
Greenland Homes Christchurch: Design & Build Homes and House & Land Packages in Riccarton
Better living starts here. That is the promise waiting on the homepage of Greenland Homes, a Christchurch building company working out of an office at 125 Blenheim Road in Riccarton. Behind the tagline sits a straightforward philosophy: building a home is about far more than constructing four walls and a roof, so the process should be flexible, cost-effective and shaped around the way you actually live.
The company sums up its own approach in one line — "We don't just build houses; we build relationships." Client feedback suggests they mean it. Reviewers from Rolleston, Halswell and Karamu describe a team that listens, responds promptly and keeps the journey smooth from first enquiry to move-in day.
Two ways to build
Greenland Homes offers two main pathways to a new home. The first is Design and Build: a library of dozens of named floor plans — Akakura, Kānuka, Mānawa, Horopito, Takawa, Poroporo and many more — any of which can be personalised to your lifestyle and style ideas. Many plans are published in several layout options; the Horopito alone comes in five versions, while the Takawa and Torotoro families each span four or more. If none of the plans fit, a dedicated team of architects and designers can craft a unique design just for you.
The second pathway is Home and Land. These packages are designed to "take the guess work out of the building process" by pairing a Greenland home with a section. The company is continually sourcing new land and currently lists sections in Halswell, Lincoln, West Melton, Casebrook and Rolleston, with live packages at Bellgrove (Ruataniwha Avenue), Trices Road in Prebbleton, Falcons Landing and Wigram Grove. Brochures for each listing can be downloaded from the website.
Fixed prices, loaded with inclusions
One of the things Greenland Homes is most explicit about is money. "We focus on what goes in, not what gets left out," the About page states. Rather than pricing low up front and adding unexpected costs later, their competitive fixed prices come already loaded with luxury inclusions. For anyone building to a budget, that means you can see clearly where costs sit — and where you can save — before signing anything. The company frames it as transparency, quality and control: more for your money, with no pricing games along the way.
An award-winning track record
Greenland Homes first entered the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards in 2014 and has consistently received multiple design awards year after year since. The company is a Registered Master Builder and a Certified Builder, and its online gallery collects photos of award-winning and recent builds across kitchens, bathrooms, interiors and exteriors — a useful source of ideas whether or not you already have a plan in mind.
What clients say
The testimonials on the website paint a consistent picture. Deny from Rolleston chose Greenland Homes after finding repeated positive feedback on an independent builder review site while managing the build from out of town. Harold and Mary from Karamu settled on a two-storey plan because it offered a spacious downstairs bedroom with bathroom, two upstairs bedrooms with ensuites, generous wardrobe space and a light, wide staircase. Kim from Halswell thanked Sean, Cheryl and the team for their advice, willingness to listen and prompt responses, calling the whole process "incredibly smooth and hassle-free". And first-time builder Justine, also from Halswell, put it plainly: "Whatever you dream of to have in your new home, just ask and they will make it happen!"
Planning your home? Let's talk
The office at 125 Blenheim Road is the base for enquiries, and the website invites anyone planning a home to get in touch by phone on 0800 123 678 or via [email protected]. Sean, the Managing Director, and Cheryl, the Design and Sales Manager, are the named contacts — Cheryl also handles Home and Land discussions. One thing to note before visiting: the website currently states there are no show homes open, although it lists showhome pages for Te Whariki in Lincoln and Bellgrove in Rangiora, so it is worth calling ahead. There is also an online enquiry form asking which property you are interested in, routing your message to the right person.
Whether you start from a plan, a blank section or just a folder of saved photos, Greenland Homes positions itself as the guide for the whole journey — flexibility up front, fixed pricing along the way, and an award-backed build at the end.
