What we do…
At Hills Carpenty, we pride ourselves on delivering unparalleled quality workmanship, tackling the toughest construction challenges, and mastering complex projects with finesse. Our team is dedicated to collaborating closely with clients, ensuring their vision is realised in every detail. From concept to completion, we strive for excellence in every aspect, producing A-class projects that stand the test of time.
Architectural New Homes
Architectural new builds are the core of our craft — the work we’re most proud to put our name to. Many of our clients come to us having already engaged an architect, with a vision and plans ready to bring to life. Our role is to translate that vision into a home of enduring quality, precision, and beauty.
From the first meeting on site, we focus on building trust and making the process as seamless as possible. We become your advocate in every decision — from structural details you’ll never see but will always feel, to finishes that make every room a pleasure to live in. Our team thrives on collaboration with architects, engineers, and designers, ensuring the integrity of your plans is respected at every stage.
Because we specialise in high‑end, bespoke construction, nothing is off‑the‑shelf. We’re meticulous about craftsmanship, materials, and timelines, delivering homes that not only meet the expectations set on paper, but exceed them in reality. For us, handing over the keys is never the end — it’s the moment your story in that home begins.
Bespoke Renovations
Transforming an existing home into something extraordinary takes more than skill — it takes respect for what’s already there, a clear vision for what it could become, and the craftsmanship to bridge the two seamlessly.
Our bespoke renovations and extensions are designed for clients who want to enhance the way they live without compromising on style or quality. Whether it’s breathing new life into a heritage villa, reimagining a tired layout into an open, light‑filled space, or adding a finely detailed extension that feels like it’s always belonged, we approach every project with meticulous planning and a deep appreciation for individuality.
We collaborate closely with you — and with architects, designers, and engineers — to ensure every element, from the flow of the floor plan to the texture of the finishes, aligns with your lifestyle and aspirations. The result is not just a refreshed home, but a refined living environment that feels personal, considered, and built to last.

Design and Build
At Hills Carpentry, we believe a truly exceptional home starts with a shared vision and a trusted team. While we don’t have in‑house designers, we’ve built long‑standing relationships with a select group of Christchurch architects whose work we know, respect, and collaborate with closely.
From the very first conversation, you’ll deal directly with me — Malachi — and I’ll guide you through each stage. We’ll match you with the architect whose style and approach best fit your project, then work hand‑in‑hand to ensure your design is both inspiring and practical to build.
Because we stay involved throughout the design process, we can flag construction efficiencies early, protect your budget, and keep your timeline realistic. By the time building begins, the plans won’t just look good on paper — they’ll be fully thought through for a flawless build.
The result? You get the creativity and individuality of an independent design expert, backed by the precision, craftsmanship, and project management of a builder who treats your home like it’s his own.
