Christchurch - North

David Reid Homes Christchurch North, Waimakariri and Hurunui is a custom home builder designing and building high quality, architecturally designed homes across North Christchurch and North Canterbury. As an owner operated business, every project benefits from the direct, hands on involvement of Director Carl Fordyce, who brings experience, craftsmanship, and a personalised approach to every new build, from individual house and land packages to fully bespoke architectural homes.

Carl joined David Reid Homes in 2020, bringing extensive residential construction experience and a deep understanding of the Christchurch building environment. He is personally involved in every project from start to finish, not just overseeing from a distance but actively engaged at each stage. He continues the brand's 30 year legacy, creating new homes known for quality, attention to detail, and design excellence. His work has earned multiple honours at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards, including a Gold in 2023 and a Gold and Silver in 2024, reflecting his consistent dedication across a range of architectural styles and budgets.

Carl oversees the entire process of building a new home himself, from concept and budgeting through to council consents, design coordination, and final handover. As an owner operated business, clients deal directly with Carl throughout, not a rotating point of contact, ensuring clarity, quality, and consistency at every stage.

He is supported by an experienced team, including Joe Rooney, a skilled quantity surveyor who ensures precision in cost planning and contract management, and Felix Byford, Project Manager, who oversees the day to day delivery of each build on site. Together they help ensure every project runs smoothly, with Carl remaining closely involved from the first conversation through to handover. Projects are delivered under fixed price contracts with a Master Builder's Guarantee, giving clients confidence, transparency, and peace of mind.

Every home is uniquely crafted to suit both its site and the lifestyle of its owners. Whether you're looking at house and land packages in North Christchurch, a new build section in Waimakariri, or a fully custom home in an established suburb, our team brings local knowledge to every project. From the leafy suburbs of Merivale and Fendalton to coastal locations such as Sumner, hillside settings like Redcliffs and Lyttelton, new homes in Harewood, or across the plains of Waimakariri and Hurunui, each design draws on the character of its location. Every home reflects a commitment to timeless, enduring architecture.

David Reid Homes Christchurch North, Waimakariri and Hurunui works closely with clients to create new homes that respond thoughtfully to their location while meeting practical needs and long term expectations. We're proud to bring quality, craftsmanship, and reliability to every build, with Carl personally invested in the outcome of each one.
