BUILD WITH CONFIDENCE

New Builds

Entry level and family homes to architectural beauties

Every home we build is designed around the people who will live in it. We’ve proudly put our name to entry-level homes, family homes, multi-unit developments, architectural homes, and homes that have appeared on Grand Designs. And while we love building rural homes, we’re just as happy to build you a new home in town.

Regardless of their location, each house we build is designed and constructed according to your individual needs and design preferences. The first step is to get in touch with us – and the earlier, the better. It can even be before you purchase the land. We can help you evaluate the building site, help shape your vision, identify any concerns, and give you an indication of the budget needed to achieve your dream.

Lifestyle and rural homes

Make the most of your rural or lifestyle property with a custom home designed around your land, surroundings and everyday needs. We build throughout North Canterbury, wider Canterbury and selected West Coast locations. It can be contemporary or rustic, the choice is all yours.

We can recommend a draftsperson or architect to bring your vision to life, or we can just as easily work with someone you’ve chosen. As lifestyle property owners ourselves, we know what it takes to build a house that’s as practical as it is beautiful.

Family, subdivision, and entry level homes

Building in Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus, Christchurch or another growing Canterbury community?

If you’re moving to the region from elsewhere in New Zealand, or to one of the new subdivisions from an old home in the area, we can help build you a new house that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations – on time and within budget. Every home is built around your needs, rather than limiting you to a standard plan.

Architectural homes

Have a home in mind that’s a little outside the ordinary? We have the experience to take on detailed architectural builds, working closely with your architect or designer to turn a unique set of plans into a beautifully finished home.

From unusual layouts and materials to challenging design details, we enjoy builds that require extra thought and craftsmanship. Our work includes an award-winning Loburn home featured on Grand Designs New Zealand, showing what can be achieved when a great design, an involved client and an experienced building team work together.

Multi-unit Developments

Building more than one home on a site requires careful planning, coordination and a builder who can keep the whole project moving.

T Dunn Builders can take on multi-unit residential developments across North Canterbury, Christchurch and wider Canterbury, working with your plans and project requirements from pricing through to construction and handover. Whether you’re developing for investment, sale or extended family living, we focus on delivering well-built homes while keeping the process clear and organised.
