We have built a new home with a high quality builder. We chose to pay extra for a premium white engineered stone for the kitchen bench tops, 40mm. It was never mentioned to us that because we chose a white stone, there would be a very noticeable black line through the join along all of the edges, d...

Following............, am so glad I did not rush to sign up with MJ. I feel for those who are facing difficulty with their builds, for almost $600 000 MJ should do better than give excuses. MJ have nice feel houses but too many complaints for me to handle that is all. Seriously considering a privat...

Hi everyone, I'm at a very initial phase of looking at builders for my new build but I'm shocked to see what few people had to go through with MJD. I just had my first meeting with the sales guy. In fact after reading the forum I'm reconsidering to even visit them again or not. Seems like my build ...

Hey all, we have just accepted the consolidated tender but have just realised a couple of things. We wanted to add a gass outlet to the alfresco for the BBQ and apparently you need to do something to the HT wall so it is strong enough to have a TV hung on it. Do we do this at the plan or colour sel...

Re response from McDonald Jones Team - my build number is J602403. I'm sure you can find my personal details in your system using that number if you wish to contact me, but I have already escalated my concerns to your Construction Manager. On a similar note to our build, has anyone ever experienced...

Hello, regarding the electricity bill during the build - just wondering if this is something MJH should be paying, or would it be my responsibility? I can't recollect if this was discussed 18 months ago, when I signed the contract.. You pay

We have almost reached the end of our build . Our house is completed and ready to live in , all except for one thing ! One pretty major thing that prevents us living in it - the sewer. Our contract included a special pump out sewer system which was not installed when the rest of the plumbing was wa...

Would it be bad if there was no laundry sink. Just about to start a bathroom and laundry reno and I am thinking of just leaving out the sink in the laundry. I dont think I have ever used our old one. The bathroom will be off the laundry so I can use the tub to fill a bucket. Thats what I do anyway....

We are building the Soul 40 with Mojo Homes in Kellyville Ridge. We love the design and the inclusions and the initial dealings were smooth.
