We built with Sentinel homes last year. The quality is exceptional and the build journey was stress free.

Tutukākā Coast · Google review
Ricardo was a real craftsman when it came to building our architectural home on the Tutukaka Coast He and his apprentice Matt build our house from start to finish including interior finishes. His communication throughout the build was impeccable, he listened to us and our visions and came up with very creative and perfect solutions. Great eye to detail and every job was delivered to perfection. Ric also has great time management skills; during very tough times in the building industry he ordered materials well ahead of time so there were no delays in the building process. Even now after the build, we are still able to contact Ric in case any issues arise, e.g. after 2 years our glass shower door broke and after getting in touch with Ric, he straight away contacted the contractor who installed the glass, which then came and installed a new door, still under warranty. After 2 years living in the house we are still in love with it and Ric's creation for us. Thanks Ric :-)

“Ric, Sam and the Sentinel team built our dream home in Langs Beach this year. From start to finish the whole process was enjoyable and stress free. We were really impressed with their professionalism, openness and integrity; we felt completely engaged in the design process Corry (Clayton Architecture) developed our rough sketches into an amazing result, using space to maximum effect. Tricky details were worked on by Ric and his team of subconsultants to give the best possible results. Even the use of a web portal to follow the process and track costs made for an improved experience. The most significant factors for us were that the costs were all agreed upfront and the project was completed on time and within budget to the highest standard. We really couldn't me more pleased with the outcome and working with the Whangarei Sentinel team was a pleasure!”
