T T Rosa Watson For more than four decades, Christchurchbased Orange Homes has been building new homes across Canterbury, making a major contribution to reducing the city’s housing shortage. The family-owned and -operated building company has helped thousands of people achieve their new-home goals during its 45 years in the industry, living up to its motto “Your Home. Designed For Life”. Operations are centred on residential new builds, customised designs and house-andland packages. Its current offering spans a broad range of house plans, from compact homes suited to first-home buyers and downsizers through to larger family and lifestyle properties. The vast catalogue includes more than 50 designs across different size ranges. Plans include one-storey homes ranging from around 140sqm to more than 300sqm, with configurations covering three, four and five bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and double or triple garages. The company has been recognised in a number of awards in recent years, and this year won a gold award for a house in Riccarton in the Commercial Projects Awards for a home in Riccarton. In the same awards last year, it received a Gold Award for a home in Halswell and a Silver Award for a home in Marshland. A significant part of the business is its house-and-land offering and the company provides packages across the city’s expanding areas, including Halswell, Marshland, Lincoln and Rolleston, while also working with customers who already have a section or need assistance finding land. Packages have included properties at Knights Stream Estate and Kennedy’s Green in Halswell, Oakbridge in Marshland, Te Whāriki in Lincoln and Arbor Green in Rolleston. For customers choosing a standalone new build, the company’s process includes a briefing, design, planning and construction, with an emphasis on working through decisions with clients throughout the project. Its plans are flexible and can also be adapted to suit different lifestyles, sections and budgets. When deciding on a home design, the team suggest learning about design considerations specific to Canterbury’s climate, energy efficiency options that save money long-term, and how to budget effectively for a build. For first home buyers, the aim is to make the process transparent, supportive, and stress-free. The company takes care of securing finance to choosing fixtures, turning what can feel overwhelming into an exciting and rewarding experience. It suggests considering lifestyle needs now and into the future, growing families, downsizing, or entertaining regularly — all of which impact design choices. Other things it suggests considering are orientation for natural light and energy efficiency, particularly important in Canterbury’s climate. And for property investors, the team’s vast experience guides investment decisions to build a portfolio. Most entry range homes are finished within four to six months, with its established systems and experienced team meaning fewer delays.
