Looking for a new home in Manawatu & Horowhenua?

Amy Harper & Paul Gillaly

Looking to build a new home in Manawatū?

At Sentinel Homes, we design homes around the people who live in them. That means no cookie-cutter approach, no forcing your ideas into a standard plan, and no unnecessary compromises.

Whether you’re starting with a completely blank page, adapting one of our existing plans, or already have something in mind, our team will help you turn it into a home that works beautifully for your site, lifestyle and budget.

You’ll be guided through every stage of the process, from early ideas and design decisions through to construction and handover, with experienced people keeping the moving parts organised and the details considered.

The end result is more than a new house. It’s a home that feels like it was designed for you.

So whether you’re planning a family home in Palmerston North or Feilding, a coastal build in Foxton, or a lifestyle home somewhere further out, we’d love to hear what you’re thinking.

Design & build Your dream home

The Sentinel Homes ‘Design and Build’ approach is about giving you a home that is unique to you and your family. Designed for how you live. No cookie cutter homes around here. We can approach your project in a couple of ways:

completely custom

If you’re looking for something completely custom, we’ll guide you through the design process from floor plans to finishings - the only limit is your imagination. Bring along your ideas and inspiration and work with our team to come up with something that is uniquely yours.

Start from an existing plan

Or, perhaps you’d prefer the inspiration of one of our many existing plans? This can be the springboard from which to design your dream home. All plans can be modified in any way to suit you. Extra bedroom? Easy. Larger kitchen and living? No problem. A home office or art studio? Consider it done.

With Sentinel Homes, no two houses are ever the same!

Manawatu & Horowhenua

Amy Harper & Paul Gillaly make up the newest hard working team to join Sentinel Homes Manawatu. We have 3 energetic children who most certainly keep us busy! But also enjoy the outdoors (particularly Paul and his hunting), travelling and a nice glass of something at the end of the week!

Originally from Central Otago, Paul has called Palmerston North Home for the past 20 years, he has been a Licensed Building Practitioner and Trade Qualified Builder for 14 years. He has been the managing director of his own construction company since 2014. He has a wealth of hands on and project management experience in building homes, commercial/rural projects, and his attention to detail and the quality of his workmanship is nothing short of perfection.

Amy is a born and bred Palmy girl who escaped to Australia and Auckland for a few years before family brought her back to Palmerston North in 2017. Amy has years of experience in sales and marketing, working with large media organisations, local advertising agencies and recently the head of marketing for a global company, also, often (affectionately) referred to as the office lady for Paul’s construction company as well.
