A better build with Bushnell

Before we build, we listen

No two homes, or homeowners, are alike. Whether you’re planning to transform your house or build your dream home from the ground up, we work closely with you to build a home that reflects your plan, your priorities, and your lifestyle.

No guesswork, no surprises

We have a reputation for being easy to deal with from start to finish. You’ll get clear timelines, realistic pricing and regular updates throughout the project, so you’re never left wondering what’s going on behind the scenes.

Built right, to last

We’ve been Christchurch builders since 1979. Our team is steady, skilled, and knows how to tackle complex residential projects. From heritage homes to new builds on challenging sites, we’ll see it through, and won’t cut corners to get there.

Customer testimonials

“The attitude of the staff was excellent throughout: it was as if it was their house they were building. Their workmanship was of the highest standard and they looked for the same from the sub-contractors. We would unreservedly recommend Bushnell Builders Ltd. They are well-organised, with highly professional staff. Their standard of work is excellent, as is their communication.”

“Bushnell Builders were instrumental in the Spencer Park Surf Life Saving Project. They worked closely with our Project Team... and produced what is a fantastic facility, built to a very high standard. [I] would recommend Bushnell Builders to anyone.”

Richard Newbold
Head of Spencer Park Surf Life Club Building Committee

"Very happy with the experience, service and results working with Eliot at Bushnell as he helped us through to a resolution for our on-sold EQC repair. It was not a large job to Bushnell in the scheme of things but it was an important job to us to finally complete a long and at times arduous process with EQC. We really appreciated the professional, courteous and thorough job they did and they treated us in a way that made us feel valued despite the size of the job. No hesitations recommending Eliot and the team."
