Kent Homes are bringing fixed price, high quality residential homes to subdivisions and existing sections across Christchurch and Canterbury – offering a selection of affordable house and land packages, full custom design and build service or build only services. Calvin is a qualified builder with over 25 years’ experience in the residential sector and Justin has 20 plus years in the commercial construction industry specialising in quantity surveying and project management. Combining their skills and experience to establish their own business, the brothers have a reputation for building excellent homes at a fixed price and personable customer service. “Our focus is on providing our clients with a new home and asset they can be proud to call their own for a fixed price and with honest, transparent customer service ,” says Justin. Kent Homes builds 40 to 60 new homes per year and offers house and land packages in own developments within popular subdivisions. “We’ve got some in Falcons Landing (Rolleston) and Ravenswood (North Canterbury) and we’ve got a couple in Sandy Ave, New Brighton,” says Justin, “plus we are soon to bring to market some higher end house and land packages in Rangiora aimed at retirees and second and third home buyers.” Kent Homes office is located at 4 Lake Bryndwr Lane, Burnside and they are building a new show home in Rolleston in February 2025. “We have homes we can show you through of a similar size and specification to what “Our focus is on providing our clients with a new home and asset they can be proud to call their own for a fixed price and with honest, transparent customer service.” you’re planning, and we’ll be clear and upfront about what the build package includes and excludes so the build relationship is a trusted one.” Homebuyers can customise their new home floor plan at no additional cost. “Once the client signs with us, we can sit down with them and redesign the floor plan to suit their wants and needs,” says Justin, “so they get to customise their floor plan at no extra cost as long as the M2 is the same.” Fixed price contracts on house and land packages were reasonably priced due to Kent Homes ability to negotiate with developers due to the volume they put out. For new homeowners this means better value for money. Opportunity also exists for free additional upgrades for new homes, including engineered stone bench tops, soft landscaping, garage door and electronic front door keypad.
