Introducing
Your local team
Will Batts has been privileged to work in various Architecture offices, on a wide variety of projects, leading teams in the delivery of prestigious commercial, residential and civic projects, from luxury high end homes to stadiums and housing developments.
Following a high paced career in architecture, Will had an opportunity to work with one of New Zealand’s largest residential developers and led the design and delivery of several large scale housing developments in central Auckland. Working with some of the top people in the business gave Will some valuable insights into how a highly successful company can consistently deliver top quality homes year after year.
Lydia has run a successful interior design and décor business for over 7 years and brings a wealth of design experience to the team. Lydia loves helping clients interpret and develop their own design taste to get the most out of their opportunity to make their home their own.
When the chance came to own Sentinel Homes in the Counties & Franklin district, Will and Lydia were excited to bring their wealth of experience directly to clients.
If you are thinking of building in the Counties & Franklin region, give them a call today!

We find building our home with them was one of the best decisions we made. Everyone who visits us comments on the finishing and workmanship. That says a lot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Having Sentinel owned by a husband / wife team also felt like you got that extra bit of care as a family owned business. The quality and finish of the home is great. We knew we'd get a quality build from Sentinel and they didn't disappoint!
