- Debra MatthewsTwo years ago I was very fortunate to build with Tara Homes and dealt solely with Debi. The process was extremely easy with Debi taking me through the build from start to finish, making sure every aspect of the build was covered, giving me great idea's and advice and keeping the build on track with an estimated finishing date which was completed on time. Every part of the build is detailed and all in writing, I was giving the options to up spec if I wanted and I was directed to locally owned companies to pick out the finishing;s required to finish the build. One of the many pluses dealing with Tara Homes was that they used locally sourced materials, have their own builders and skilled contractors, kept the communication lines open, produced a beautiful finished and clean home to me on a fully landscaped and fenced section, the complete package. Their after build service and warranties were also of a high standard and I would build again with them if the chance arises. Thank you Tara Homes and Debi.5/5 stars
- Gina KnowlesTara homes built me exactly what I wanted for a fantastic price! Peter and the team did a marvelous job with the finishing touches and Deb was amazing to work and coordinate with. Thank you so much for organising and building my beautiful home, all for an amazing price! I would recommend the team over anyone and if I build another in Chch I wouldn’t go with anyone else.

- Olivia ReynoldsAn amazing company to build with. We chose Tara homes to build our first home and Peter, Debi and David were all amazing to deal with and communicate with. Peter went out of his way to show us through a house they'd built, meeting up with us after work etc and listened to what we wanted. Debi as the project manager was amazing, so welcoming and had some great ideas. She was always available for a chat to guide us along the process, even after work hours if required (will miss our frequent conversations haha) and made sure the build remained on track. The spec of the build is top quality and we are very happy in our warm new home. Would highly recommend Tara homes to anyone wanting to build and would happily use them again 😊5/5 stars
