I like a few of their designs and im currently tossing up between a few builders.
How is their quality?
Ive noticed they put alot into marketing and advertising wich can cloud your perspective in some ways.
How do they go repairing defects that arise?
Has there been many people on here that have had to go to fair trading to get issues resolved?
Thanks in advance
Hi Merbau16
We are currently building with MJH. We have not had an major issues with them and any issues we have had we have been able to resolve with minimal fuss.
We chose MJH due to their quality and design.
Our SS is great and our house is coming together beautifully.
You will have ups and downs with all builders it is a matter I think of ensuring you have covered everything you want from the builder and been priced for everything you want.
MJH are dearer then other builders but you get what you pay for - MJH's finishes are great.
I update my blog with each new stage so you should be able to get some idea of any issues if you want to check it out as our build progresses.
I used this forum a lot to help attempt to foresee any issues we may hit and it has been great for that.
Good luck with your build.
I would have to agree with Sally and Craig - "You get what you pay for". McDonald Jones might be more expensive then some other builders but we are extremely happy with their quality and finishes. This was our third build and I believe the best quality build so far. We would be struggling to pick on anything with the way they have finished off our home. Our site supervisor was great and seemed to really care about the finish we got. You should make sure that you get everything in writing as a verbal conversation doesn't really stand for anything. We were told a couple of things verbally and they did stand by their word and do what they said but I guess they didn't have to because it wasn't in writing. Best not put yourself in that position. We only had a couple of minor defects during our build which they rectified for us. We built on the mid north coast and found the trades up that way to be of a high standard. We are extremely happy with our new McDonald Jones Home. I absolutely love their display homes and floor plans. We hardly went through any other display homes. We walked into the McDonald Jones display homes and just knew they were who we wanted to build with.
