Custom homes for Christchurch families.
Designed around your site and the way you live — and you deal with the builder, not a salesperson.
You talk to the builder. The same one, the whole way through.
JSR is a Christchurch building company that started out building for family and friends, and grew by word of mouth. That is still how it works: the person who prices your job is the person who runs it, and the person you ring when you have a question.
We build across Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri, with the design, consent and build managed by us — so you are never stuck between a designer and a builder.
More about us
Most of a house is covered up before you see it.
Round Hill Rise needed the hillside cut back, benched and retained before there was anywhere to put a floor. We photograph that part too.
Why build with us.
A fixed price, written out
You get the contract sum with the inclusions in full before we start. Nothing changes without your written approval first — not after the work, not on the final invoice.
One point of contact
Ricky Wong prices your job, runs your site and answers the phone. No handover to a project manager once the contract is signed, and no call centre.
Backed by someone other than us
As a Registered Master Builder your home can be covered by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee — issued and backed by a third party, not by us. The premium is yours to pay and yours to decline, and we show you the cost either way.
“Ricky and the team displayed high professionalism and delivered as promised — timely, and on budget.”
From the first conversation to the keys.
Phase 01
Understand and test
We start with the section, the people who will live there and the budget. Then we test a site-specific concept against the ground, the planning rules and what you want to spend.
Phase 02
Design, price and approve
The concept becomes working drawings and a written specification. We price that complete information, agree the contract sum and inclusions, then manage the building consent.
Phase 03
Build, hand over and return
Regular progress updates, and any variation approved by you in writing before it happens. Handover includes the code compliance certificate, manuals and guarantee — then a maintenance visit.
Thinking about building?
Tell us about your section and roughly what you want to spend, and we will tell you honestly what is achievable. No obligation, and no sales call afterwards.
