Hi All, We am new to Christchurct and we am looking to build our first home in Christchurch. Can you please recommend builders to consider and builders to stay away from? What we are looking for in a Builder: 1. Someone who can build something different/special (have a vision; not a cookie cutter house) 2. Good build quality (reputed) 3. Deal with builder/site supervisor directly (not a lot with sales people) 4. Easy to deal with We have a decent budget (not looking for the most economical option). However, we don’t want a builder who will use up the budget just because we have it. This is what we found with the first builder we approached. Thanks 🙂

Hi Please visit our website http://www.quinnhomes.co.nz We have built many clients homes through referral on this site. We specialise in bespoke designs and you only deal with myself and my wife Linda through the entire process. There are many other reasons why we have such a high referral rate which I would be delighted to discuss in person. I look forward to hearing from you. Regards Peter

Hi LG, I’m an architectural designer working for a building company so I know a fair few in Christchurch – companies I would recommend (and meet the criteria you mentioned) are: Greenland Homes, DNA Structures Ltd, Paul McStay Homes, Que Homes (Justin McDonald), Peter Ray Homes. Most of these I myself have either built with or have close friends that have – all have great reputations and excellent build quality. Personally I had a hideous experience with Golden Homes in Chch (Peak Construction) and would never recommend building with them – I know there are a couple of other reviews similar on here too. Hope you have a good building experience! 🙂
