About Sentinel Homes Christchurch - House & Land Builder, Designer and Subdivider

Sentinel Homes Christchurch is a home design and build company serving the Christchurch region, from townhouses in Merivale to family homes in Marshland and subdivision projects in Riccarton. The team works with clients to create a home that is uniquely theirs, whether through a completely custom design or by starting with an existing plan and modifying it to suit.

Sentinel Homes offers a design and build approach with no cookie-cutter homes, guiding clients from floor plans through to finishings. The Christchurch team also helps clients access house and land packages, sourcing sections and developing matched plans, and offers full subdivision management covering town planning, earthworks, engineering, resource consents, council consents and construction.

Prospective clients can visit one of two Christchurch-area show homes to experience a completed Sentinel Home in person, and can book a free site check and design chat to get started, with a 5% deposit option available.

Sentinel Homes Christchurch: Custom Home Design & Build

Sentinel Homes Christchurch is a home design and build company serving the wider Christchurch region, from a townhouse in Merivale to a family dream home in Marshland or a subdivision project in Riccarton. The team works alongside clients to understand what they're looking for, bringing their own design ideas to the table to create a home that's uniquely theirs.

Design & Build, Your Way

Sentinel Homes' design and build approach is built around giving clients a home designed for how they live — no cookie-cutter homes here. Clients can choose a completely custom design, guided through the process from floor plans to finishings, or start from one of Sentinel's many existing plans and modify it to suit, whether that means an extra bedroom, a larger kitchen and living area, or a home office or art studio.

Two Show Homes to Visit

Prospective clients can explore what a Sentinel Home looks and feels like in person by visiting one of two Christchurch-area show homes. The Rolleston show home, at 27 Harlequin Drive, is a beautifully crafted home oriented north-west to capture all-day sun, with a signature dining skylight, expansive glazing and a hardwood deck opening onto an entertainer's courtyard. It's open Saturday and Sunday from 12pm to 4pm. The Rangiora show home, at 21 Homestead Drive, Bellgrove, features airy living spaces, scissor-truss ceilings and a designer kitchen, and is open Saturdays from 12pm to 4pm or by appointment. Both show homes are closed on public holidays.

Beyond a Single Home

For those with land already in hand, Sentinel Homes Christchurch offers full subdivision management, covering town planning, earthworks, engineering, resource consents, council consents and construction — meaning clients no longer need to be experienced property developers to subdivide and build on their land. Single 800m² sites, for example, have been transformed into multiple townhouses, while larger sites can be split into smaller sections for standalone new builds.

For those without land yet, the Christchurch team also helps source house and land packages, pairing sections with developed plans so clients can build without first having to find the ideal piece of land themselves.

Getting Started

Sentinel Homes offers a free site check and design chat for those exploring their options, along with a 5% deposit option to help clients get their new build underway. Clients can browse a wide range of floor plans, including single storey, two storey, home and income, townhouse, sloping site, and investor-focused plans, all of which can be customised to suit.
