Browse Forums Building A New House Re: SJD Homes. Attic allowed? 23Sep 11, 2013 9:29 pm Anyone from Narre Warren Springs in Victoria building with SJD Homes? Is the building of an attic atop a 2 storey house generally permitted by Council? Any other points of interest I should look out for? Many thanks. Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 24Jan 19, 2014 8:52 pm Hi everyone, We are thinking of building with SJD homes, after going through quotes with other builders, we tend to think they are best value for money, but overall have been quite impressed with their plans and customer service. We are wanting to build the caversham 2. Is anyone else building with them, or the same house, or has built the same house previously? Any recommendations in the building? We will be building in Timbertop Officer hopefully the land will be released sometime in may. Any help would be appreciated! Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 25Mar 09, 2014 10:40 am Hi, I will also be building with SJD, in the Timbertop estate in the Vintage release. I shall also be building the CavII, but with a couple of changes. Great customer service so far, also hoping to hear some feedback on their builds and the house design? Regards Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 26May 14, 2014 7:52 pm I'm thinking of building with SJD. Could you guys please share your experience building with them?

We built a variation on the Loxton (which they've now called the Hamish) Service was friendly, they completed the build super fast, they are upfront about all costs and adjusted our plans to suit our weird shaped block. I'm not surprised you can't find any negative reviews as they were really good. My negatives? Maybe some of the finishes.. Sloppy painting getting on some cabinetry, I really had to chase up the 3 month inspection and I'm not pushy enough.. so only a few things that I wanted got done but all were trivial. Would I recommend SJD to anyone wishing to build? Yes. Would I build with them again? Yes - I would only look elsewhere as they don't have many double storey plan designs. Hope that helps! 31/01/2011 - Deposit on land 09/03/2011 - Deposit on Builder (SJD Homes) Check out my blog for details: http://blestfirsthomebuild.blogspot.com.au/ Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 28Dec 01, 2015 11:45 am I am currently getting quotes with SJD and so far Michael has been quiet helpful in accommodating changes. I have been to other big builders they are way too expensive. I feel like they actually listen to you rather than assume to know what you want. Re: SJD Homes.

I hope you get a different outcome, its not so much the money ( as we should be able to sell lots of it to offset the cost) but the waste!! Re: SJD Homes.

The current house is on stumps and initial inspections by the company indicated relocation is possible. http://houseremovalsandrelocation.com.au Re: SJD Homes.
