About Hills Carpentry Christchurch: The Art of Possibility

Welcome to Hills Carpentry. We are a premier construction company in Christchurch led by Director Malachi Hills. As a family-owned business, we specialise in architectural new homes, high-performance homes, and complex renovations. Our team is committed to moving beyond standard construction to deliver bespoke legacy properties. We operate on a foundation of exceptional craftsmanship, transparent pricing, and genuine integrity.

Building a high-end home is a significant financial investment. It often comes with legitimate concerns about budget control and timeline certainty. We established Hills Carpentry to replace that stress with structure and accountability. Unlike volume builders, we cap our intake to just three major projects annually to maintain focus and quality.

Malachi leads each project through feasibility and early planning, then works closely with dedicated site supervisors who manage day-to-day construction. You deal directly with the business owner for key decisions and oversight, while an experienced team ensures consistent execution on site.

We guide you through our signature 9-step roadmap to ensure a smooth journey from concept to completion. As a licensed building practitioner and Registered Master Builder, we apply rigorous standards that exceed the building code. You receive real-time updates via our Rave build management portal and the protection of our Signature Guarantee.
We invite you to learn more about Hills Carpentry Christchurch and see how our tailored approach delivers superior results. You need a partner who prioritises your vision over volume, and we are ready to be that advocate. Let’s discuss how we can bring your architectural plans to life—CONTACT US today to schedule your initial consultation.

Malachi Hills

Director

When I started Hills Carpentry, I built on existing relationships to secure labour-only contracts. This experience quickly taught me the importance of being the main contractor to ensure smooth operations and strong relationships with clients and construction partners.

I have a passion for operating a well-organised site and meticulous planning, ensuring seamless transitions between project stages. My commitment to excellence is reflected in every project I undertake.

Running the business is a family affair, with my wife Amanda managing the administration side while I focus on site operations and procurement. When I'm not on the tools or in the office, I love spending quality time with my three children, Ariella, Noah, and Olivia. Whether it's biking or exploring through orienteering, family time is always cherished.

Amanda Hills

Office Manager

Hey there! I'm Amanda, the Office Manager. I keep things running smoothly in the background with all things admin. From general invoicing, payment queries and keeping all things ticking over in the background. When I'm not at the office, you can find me spending time with my children and my husband, Malachi, creating wonderful memories together! Biking, walks and time with family and friends brings me the utmost joy.

Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m an apprentice, learning the trade and developing my skills. Having come from a family of carpenters, you could say the trade runs in my blood! I have a strong eye for detail and a keen interest in finishing work. I enjoy the build process and love seeing each project come together to a high standard.
