Looking for anyone that has had recent experience with Sentinel homes Auckland North & West Franchise. Maree and Leon Van de Water currently have the Franchise and we are looking at entering into a contract to have them build a family home. Communication has been good so far but we haven’t yet handed over any money. Not to much on them in the comments section and it’s always such a gamble when spending that much money so keen to hear of people’s experiences.

Sorry this may be too late…………Beware !! Wish we never started with them . Eighteen month project turned into nearly 3 years. Staff turnover at the company was terrible so had no consistency with the build and lacked attention to detail. Communication very poor.

They were hideous to us. Our 18 month project took four years. There were several instances where they were very directly at fault, but rather than take responsibility and resolve it quickly, they chose to victim blame. I found them to be highly unprofessional and dishonest. Don’t trust the cross around Maree’s neck; it’s a marketing gimmick. She’s not honest at ALL.
