Luxury ... redefined
A shared passion: Clive Barrington Construction partners with visionary architects and clients who also have an unwavering drive for excellence. Together we create luxury architectural homes in and around Canterbury.
The quality of our workmanship is exceptional and recognised nationally - Clive Barrington Construction is New Zealand's most-awarded building company. Our awards include the 2021 Supreme House of the Year Award.
Award-winning Architectural Builders
Clive Barrington Construction has built architecturally designed homes for nearly 40 years. Our longevity is attributed to a genuine passion for our work, at every level of the business.
'Old school' values are our DNA: working to the task - not the clock, valuing a hard day's work, and that our uncompromising approach to quality should never cost clients the earth.
The Architect's Builder
No architectural detail, location or site is too big a challenge.

Hill Site Homes
Hillside, cliffside, hilltop, coastal, steep sites, difficult access - we take it all in our stride. Clive Barrington Construction relishes the chance to build on hill sites. It's almost disappointing when there isn't a challenging aspect to a build!
Lifestyle Properties
Luxurious country living: Clive Barrington Construction builds architecturally designed homes in rural and urban fringe settings throughout Greater Canterbury. Isolated locations, tricky access, harsh weather and environments don't daunt us.
City Living
City life but not as you know it! By collaborating with architects and clients from early planning and design stage, Clive Barrington Construction has helped create many of Christchurch's most challenging, innovative and spectacular homes.
Commercial Fit Outs
Clive Barrington Construction also has a forté for high-end, architecturally designed commercial Fit Outs - e.g. office, retail, hospitality. We have a successful track record, impressive Portfolio, architects and commercial clients' references.

Clients Say
Extraordinary architecture inspires us! We work alongside our clients and their architects, creating a personal connection to every project.
