Hear from our happy customers

Looking for some real life-inspiration? Want to make sure you are making the right choice?

Look at what our happy customers have to say about the building process and living in a Jennian Home.

Thank you Jennian for building us a lovely home. Darren, Sun and Bubs were easy to work with and very accommodating with our requests and changes. We’ve always wanted a house within the city thanks to Darren for helping us secured the location that we wanted. Jennian designed for us a unique home that maximizes the road frontage, the sun orientation, the wind and the size of the lot. We made some upgrades and one of it was increased ceiling height. Best decision ever as our home looks spacious. Now that we are living in it, we are very pleased with how it turned out to be from the inside and outside. Would definitely recommend Jennian.

K and G Goleta

"Sun and Darren were fantastic in every aspect. They are fantastic at communicating and explaining the build process. They are passionate about what they do and we enjoyed working with them and would build with them again."

Jack McDonald

Being a Builder myself I was quickly put at ease in knowing Jennian Homes understood our requirements in both design and budget Real easy to work with and they understood the importance to getting it right for us

Scott

The build was really well handled and i genuinely enjoyed working with all of the people involved. Efficient, friendly and professional. We have spoken highly to friends and family about the Jennian group we dealt with.

Dave Greig

Jennian homes explained each step of the process with us in detail. They were not frustrated with us when we made changes etc. They were very patient and approachable. We made it to the planning stage and it is pretty scary but happy Jennian homes was there.

Amrita

Jennian Homes is amazing to deal with, it completely took the stress of building a new home and turned it into an easy and exciting experience. Excellent communication and allowed us to make changes to suit our lifestyle hassle free. Our consultant Brian, offered a service that is next level and we highly recommend Jennian Homes to anyone who is looking to build.

Theresa Murray

Our experience with Jennian Homes was professional, organised and easy from start to finish. The team made the entire process stress free and transparent and provided as much support as we needed to make crucial decisions. Having built our own homes in the past, this journey was by far the best and one we would definitely go on again with Jennian.

Rachel Prendergast

Our experience with Jennian was flawless. We felt part of the build the whole way through and nothing was a problem. We felt like building your own home is one of the biggest events of your life and our experience was completely stress free, which is quite the contrast to the stories we had heard from other people’s experience with different building companies.

Josh Dowdle

It was hard to select the right building company as we had never built a house before. However, we were really lucky to meet Sun and Darren. They were like an oasis in the desert to us. Everything went very smoothly and their explanation about house materials, products and the building process was easy to understand. They are awesome people to deal with. We highly recommend Darren and Sun.

Terry and Betty (2022)

As this is our first time building a home, we had no idea what to expect but Jennian Homes have provided us with superior service. Our New Home Consultant was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, and very easy to work with. What impressed us the most was Jennian Home's willingness to work with our personal circumstances and giving us a peace of mind during the building process.

Anna Basova

After a fantastic first build experience, it was a no-brainer decision to come back to Jennian Homes Canterbury for my investment property. They made the planning and building process easy and fun, and I really appreciated the regular updates I received from them ensuring I was always up-to-date. Darren and Sun came across as super friendly and very knowledgeable. Given this was my second build + for investment they were able to recommend plans + land within a few days and make the process very easy for me. They also made me feel valued as a repeat customer which I appreciated greatly.

Sean Bennett

Planning a new home with Jennian is so simple, alternatives are set out and advice given in a clear and concise fashion, thank you.

Tony & Christine Young

Building with Jennian was the best decision we have made. The process from start to finish was open and the communication was not only done in a friendly manner, it was regular and honest. The schedule for the build was followed and completion was on time.

Mark Bravo

Nothing was too hard, and at no point in time did I not know what was going on with the build or where it was at. If and when alterations were made, clear documentation was sent through, so managing the financial process of building was very easy. Great team throughout the organization, with everyone having a great understanding as to where my build was at.

Vicky Knowles

We have now moved into our new home and we are very happy with the end result. I cannot thank Dwayne, Sue, Paul and the rest of the team involved at Jennian enough. I had heard building a home was a stressful experience and would test the best relationship. I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure. I will certainly be asking Jennian to help build our next home in the future. Thanks again Jennian.

Craig and Tracey Herron

As multiple farm owners we have built 5 homes over the last 3 years, all of these were done with the team at Jennian Homes Mid & South Canterbury. We would definitely recommend them to anyone. Something we truly appreciated was the friendly and welcoming team, particularly on the sites. Both the builders and contractors we dealt with were always very approachable and always took the time to talk to us. We would not hesitate to use Jennian Homes Mid & South Canterbury again; in fact we would look forward to it.

Rachel and Greg Roadley

Their professional team attended to everything from plans to the hand-over of the completed project… on time, as promised, which was what impressed us the most. A huge thank you to the Team behind the scenes, for all their hard work and support! We love our new home.

Debbie

Building with Jennian was the best decision we could have made. We appreciate all the hard work that was put into making our house a home and look forward to building again next time, although we will be here for a while yet! We love our new home and really appreciate the effort that everyone had gone to ensure it was the best possible experience for Matt and I.

Matt and Grace

Our beautiful two storey house only took seven months to complete. We were more than impressed with the dedication given to our project right from the initial consultation to the follow-ups that we still have with Paul. We are very happy with our new home. Jennian Homes North Canterbury provided us with an excellent first home build experience. We have no hesitation to recommend Jennian for anyone considering a build.

Campbell and Lyneen Thomson

Our home has turned out exactly the way we wanted it and within the budget that was set. From the planning and initial steps with Eric and Dwayne through to the building process itself and dealing with Paul, we were blown away with the level of professionalism and expertise that the team at Jennian possess. We couldn’t be happier and would like to thank the team at Jennian once again for an amazing experience and first home.

Callum and Emma

Jennian Homes Canterbury made building our first home an absolute dream. From the sales team Darren and Sun who worked tirelessly on perfecting our plan to Dwayne and Paul who delivered on every single promise they made us. We were really budget conscious with our first home, but our home was delivered on earlier than promised and within budget! We don’t know of any other person or couple that have had such a quick and stress-free build as us.

Matthew and Katie Carran

From our first contact with Dwayne to the completion of our house, we experienced a most creative, thoroughly professional and approachable team of people who worked closely with us throughout the design and building process. Living in Australia was no problem as Paul communicated with us and emailed photos twice weekly so we could see progress. We are absolutely delighted with every aspect of our new home.

Heather, Barry and Louise Lysaght

The end product was exactly what we wanted and we get a huge number of compliments from friends and family. Above all we are highly impressed with the quality of our home and the service we’ve continued to receive from Jennian even after the build was finished. We sing the praises of Jennian Canterbury to anyone who will listen and would highly recommend building with them. We’ll definitely be back one day!

Julie Hands

Throughout the entire building process with Jennian Homes, not only Darren and Sun but also Paul, who was our project manager ensured frequent communication to get things right. The outcome of one of the biggest projects we have gone through in our life was a definite success, and Jennian Homes made a young couple fill smiles with their dream house!

Kotaro and Karin

It has been a pleasure to have Darren and Sun design our new house, they are very caring and went out of their way to accommodate our wishes. Paul Jenkins our build-supervisor updated us regularly with emails, photos and phone calls. No stress and would be pleased to recommend Darren, Sun and Jennian Homes Build to anyone considering building.

Lindy

We really wanted a company that was friendly, professional and treated us more than just their clients and we found this in Jennian Homes. From day one Darren & Sun in Jennian Homes helped us find the perfect section to the perfect house and throughout the whole process, the experience has just been so easy and exciting with no unwanted surprises. Jennian Homes will always be our builder.

Renee and Fred

It has been an amazing, stress free, experience. Have very much enjoyed all the stages and meeting everyone along the way. You
guys are an awesome team and, for us also, a real pleasure to build with. Thank you so much for everything. We are so happy
with our new home it is everything we wanted and hoped for (and more!) and we cannot wait to move in. I will miss all you guys,
especially Bubs who has been my kindred spirit. Thanks again!

Leigh (and the rest of the Law family)

We were delighted with a Jennian build several years ago & did not hesitate to contact Jennian again for our recent build of a smaller home. Darren & Sun consulted with us and from the beginning, they listened to us, blending our ideas and their suggestions. Both of us are pleased with our new home and do not hesitate to recommend Darren & Sun, who work as a very connected couple, to any new potential home builder.
