Sentinel Homes Waikato Hamilton - House & Land Builder, Designer and Subdivider

“From the moment we first contacted Rhys from Sentinel for the free site check before we had even purchased our land we had a great feeling about them. Rhys was super responsive and took us seriously right from the start! We met him onsite and then in the showhome to discuss ideas, he was friendly and easy to chat to and made our family feel welcome and that he genuinely was excited to help us through our building journey! He was so great that we never even looked at any other building companies, as we just liked the vibe that we got from the whole team and that they focus on building high quality homes tailored to you. The communication and follow up from Rhys was excellent and he went out of his way to come and see us at home an hour away to fit in with our busy work/family life if we couldn’t make it up to Hamilton. The whole process so far has been super stress free being guided by Rhys and the team at Sentinel and we are so excited to see our dream home come to life! Could not recommend them more”

“We spent two years visiting showhomes and talking to various build companies, and Sentinel Homes stood out, entirely because of Rhys. From the very first interaction, he made us feel heard, respected, and supported, something we didn’t experience with other companies. While many dismissed us or made us feel judged, especially at homeshows, Rhys was the complete opposite. He was open, honest, and incredibly genuine with every bit of advice he gave. Rhys worked around our busy schedules, responded quickly to emails, and made the planning stage feel easy and exciting. His approach was a huge part of why we felt confident moving forward with Sentinel. He’s not just great at what he does, he’s the reason we chose Sentinel. Once we moved into the build phase, the wider Sentinel team was fantastic. Alisha was an absolute legend, efficient, patient, and always happy to help with our endless questions. The design and selections process was smooth, and we felt well-supported throughout. Like any build, there were a couple of moments where things didn’t go exactly as planned. But what really stood out was how Sentinel responded. They didn’t deflect or make excuses; instead, they took ownership and acted quickly to resolve the issues. Their professionalism and commitment to getting things right gave us real confidence in the team and made a big difference to our overall experience. The house itself is beautiful. We love the layout, the natural light, and the way it takes advantage of the views. The quality of the finish is excellent, and it truly feels like a home that reflects our vision. Overall, we’re really happy with our home and grateful for the experience. Sentinel Homes Waikato delivered a build that feels personal, high-quality, and well-managed. If you’re lucky enough to work with Rhys, you’re in great hands. Highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for a team that treats you with respect and genuinely cares.”

“Working with Sentinel Homes, and in particular our consultant Rhys Gullery has been an excellent experience so far. Rhys has brought real creativity to our initial concept plans and helped us stay on budget without sacrificing style. His communication style and proactive approach has been so good, as we gear up to start building. Highly recommend!”

“It was an easy choice for us to select Ryan and Sentinel Homes. From day one Ryan has guided and supported us in our unique home build well outside of your standard home. Ryan’s industry experience through building and architecture meant we were able to flesh out our long list of “demands” well before the formal design stage. The process was simple, professional and Ryan gave us absolute confidence moving forward. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ryan to any future home builder.”

“Leaving a 5-star review is a must for us eventhough we didn't end up building with Sentinel. The genuine care and help we received from Ryan as soon as we stepped into the Hamilton Showhome was beyond mint. Right up to reviewing our build scopes for second opinion eventhough we're with another building company. If circumstances were different we would've absolutely have LOVED to have built with Sentinel. The company we went with are also amazing! Lucky to have been spoilt for choice, but we definitely owe this review to Ryan and the team for not only quality eye for quality work, but also quality manaakitanga/care for our family navigating such a foreign space from that first interraction right up until recent. The social media platform content is also gold, especially as youre going through your design process it's great to have some pointers and tips from experienced people that's easy to understand. Thanks so much Ryan and the wider Sentinel whaanau!”
