The Sentinel app makes building your own home so easy. I’ve already shown it to many of my friends and family.

Cory & Tania Brown
Whangaparoa

Designing a home can be overwhelming however Sentinel made this very easy for us and designed a beautiful home. Their communication is excellent and they are very professional. We love their work and highly recommend Maree and her team at Sentinel Home.

Hugo and Nelmare Venter
Auckland

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.

Renee Telfer
Wellington

Sentinel homes were fantastic to work with. Andrew's attention to detail, design suggestions, communication skills and project management made the process enjoyable and easy. Highly recommend this company if considering building a home. His building contractors and all his other service companies were also excellent to work with.

Julie Otene
Taranaki

All the pricing was really transparent and the build came in right on budget, we’d definitely build with them again. We absolutely love this house.
