The shape and location of your property can make a big difference to the price. For example if your section is sloping, you may need a digger and extra soil to level it out. Even flat ground may need extra foundations or piles so your house sits on solid soil or rock. Sections that aren't near utilities like power, water and phone will cost more to connect up.
There may be some things you want to change about the structure of the house - maybe you want to move a wall to create more space, or to make more of the view. That's easy enough, but might mean your home needs an engineered beam, which will cost extra. If you'd like a bigger bathroom or kitchen, you should expect to pay more too - these are expensive areas per square meter.
The indicative prices are based on our standard specs. If you'd like special tap-ware, different doors, or an amazing feature wall, no problem. You can customise any part of the design to suit you. These little extras will add to the price, but can make all the difference to how much you love your home.

We wanted bespoke architects and builders rather than something already on a plan. Being the second time we built, we knew what we were looking for and Hayden and his team could deliver that. We had the most fantastic builders and project manager, who had a great relationship with us directly and their craftsmanship was meticulous.
We always felt in control of the build, due to the open lines of communication.
From the minute we walked into the Sentinel Homes Waikato show home it was love at first sight.
We felt the team listened to our ideas and vision for the house. If you want a clearly communicated process, a fun team to work with, and a beautiful, quality home as the end product, these guys are the team to work with
We would 100% recommend Sentinel Homes Taranaki to other people
We find building our home with them was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone who visits us comments on the finishing and workmanship. That says a lot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Let’s get together for a free, no-pressure meeting with one of our team, at your place or ours.
