We recently completed our first own home with Signature Homes, who provided an outstanding performance. The service was great end to end, from the whole Team, but especially from Jen. She was our first point of contact, right from the start and then all the way through the entire process. Jen was available for us all the time, very responsive and helpful, always provided clear and transparent communications in all matters and was super proactive. She simply made everything happen, even on short notice, and went the extra mile several times, to make good things even better. Even now, after the built is completed, she remains available for us and is happy to support us wherever she can.
And most important of course, the house is awesome, high quality and great value for money. It was completed in advance of the guaranteed completion date, even though the Covid-19 lockdown took place in between. Under these circumstances, this was no doubt an extraordinary effort and performance. We would definitely choose them again and can totally recommend Signature Homes and especially this branch.
We live at Redwood Valley, Richmond, Nelson and Signature have recently completed building our new home at the Oakfields subdivision in Amberley. Our initial contact was with Jen Schellenberg on site at Amberley and from there she invited us into Papanui to their office where we met Adam the franchise holder and another Adam who became our project manager. Once we selected our building plan and altered it to suit the section layout and our specific needs it was full steam ahead. We have nothing but praise for all the Signature Team as nothing was a problem from wo to go any changes or communication with subby’s etc wasn't a problem and for the fact that we live in Nelson and were not on site very often where we had to rely on Jen and Adam their communication was excellent. Of course along comes Covid and we are shut down halfway through the build but no worries as Adam was still on deck for security checks of the site and any progress reports along with some pictures. Finally the build is finished and we go down for handover to be met by Adam who rolled up his sleeves and helped move in our furniture etc no sooner had we finished when Jen arrives with food and refreshments for all full marks to both of you. We have been down and stayed a couple of times since handover and have noticed some minor faults which we reported to Adam and with no problem they were immediately resolved. So once again a big thankyou to the Signature team.
When the building started, you allowed us to stay next to it and gave permission to be already working in our garden", we are very grateful for this! We quickly agreed on the details of the layout of the hose, the roof, bricks, joinery ext, Now that the house is finished, it looks even better than we had envisaged it. We were especially impressed with the workmanship of all the contractors, like the roof layers, brickies, sparkies and painters. We are very please with all the excellent fittings and appliances installed. Our children, who were very involved in the build, found this home a step up from our previous home (what was a very lovely house!) The girls absolutely love the kitchen! According to the grandchildren, our breakfast bar is like a restaurant, because now we can put all the food on it. The bathroom is also their favourite: a very nice shower and having a "seat" to read a book! Thanks for you the smooth building process and the east communication. And we? We Enjoy everything, for us it was absolutely a miracle that we could buy the section and build our "retirement" home. We feel very blessed!
A huge thank you to Jen, Adam and the rest of the team at Signature Homes for helping us get into our first home! From the very first moment, we got in contact with Signature Homes; we were extremely impressed. Jen was so helpful and patient with us, we had no idea what we were doing but Jen made our experience so smooth and stress-free. Jen was very prompt at replying to emails and gave a high level of detail, so we knew exactly what we were getting. Once it was time to begin construction, there was excellent communication from our Project Manager, Adam. We attended regular site visits with Adam and Jen to discuss the progress and next stages, we also received a weekly email update from Adam with pictures which was great to see how fast it was coming along. We were lucky enough to get into our new home ahead of our guaranteed completion date, which was fantastic. Again, thank you so much, and we appreciate the time and effort put into creating our first home, we couldn’t be happier with the experience we had with Signature Homes, and we love our new home.
What a fantastic first home experience working with Signature Homes. I was contemplating building my first home and had visited every show home and company known to man. It was such a breath of fresh air to deal with Jen and the team rather than the all too common pushy salespeople. Right from the start, Jen was excellent, extremely prompt with emails and very detailed with replies to questions. I was able to adjust my house plan to suit me and add/delete features and specifications as I saw fit. The construction phase was fantastic with excellent communication from Jen, Adam Baylis, and my project manager Adam Creek. I attended regular site meetings with the builder and Adam to discuss the progress and milestones ahead. I was handed the keys on the fixed completion date, which was fantastic. I really couldn't be more pleased with the whole process and my first home; it was truly a pleasure working with Signature homes.
Working with Signature Homes was really made easy. Jen and Adam, along with the rest of the team, were great to work with and made our journey worthwhile. They're a professional bunch and would happily work with them again and recommend them to others.
We have recently moved into our new Signature Home and could not be more delighted with, not only our new home but also with the whole team at Signature Homes North Canterbury – they certainly lived up to Signature Home’s logo – Your Home Your Way. Throughout the entire planning and building process our number one point of contact was always Jen Schellenberg and we could not have hoped for a better consultant. At all times during our build, we found Jen to be very approachable, trustworthy, friendly and extremely professional - there was no problem or query she could not solve. Her knowledge of the building trade and her communication skills were nothing short of excellence - always promptly returning our phone calls or responding to our emails without delay.
JP was the project manager responsible for construction of our new home. At all times we found JP to possess very similar attributes to Jen and as a builder we found that he took great pride in producing a product of the highest quality. He was extremely obliging and we certainly appreciated JP’s input and suggestions during the building process, especially as we were absentee owners and seldom present on-site during the building process.
Mention must also be made of the great office staff at Signature Homes North Canterbury - their reception, telephone, communication and office skills, we found, were beyond reproach.
Thank you to everyone at Signature Homes North Canterbury - your combined efforts have resulted in the construction of a very high-quality new home that we couldn’t be more proud of owning.
If you are considering building in the North Canterbury area we highly recommend you contact Jen Schellenberg and the team at Signature Homes North Canterbury.
We absolutely love our house built by Signature homes Christchurch North, Jen and JP have done an amazing job throughout the process. Nothing was ever too much, Jen would always come back to us in such a timely manner! We made so many changes and had so many queries, but she worked tirelessly to ensure our house became what we wanted it to be. JP never failed to answer his phone and made sure the process went very smoothly for us; we never had to chase him for anything. We've been in our house three months now, and there's nothing we can fault about it. If we were ever to build again, they would be first on my list to call. We've heard so many horror stories from other homeowners and I'm glad we can say we had the best experience, cheers guys!
