We started our search to buy our first home but couldn't find any for 3-4 months that ticked all the boxes. So we finally decided to build our own. Selected a block of land in Berwick, Burnley Gardens estate and finally bought it. Our block of land is 15mx38.5m (578 square metres). Been to several display houses by both volume & custom builders in several estates including SJD display houses, Kaduna Park in Officer South and one of their display houses appealed us due to its nice connectivity of kitchen with alfresco and few other things https://www.sjdhomes.com.au/display-homes/charleston/. Below is our timeline.
01-11-2019 Selected the block of land and got it on hold
15-11-2019 Got the first building quote from SJD
26-11-2019 Paid deposit for the block
04-12-2019 Made initial payment to SJD for soil test and survey
20-12-2019 Land settled
09-02-2020 Got first initial drawings
As our block of land is 15 metres wide so we decided to widen the whole house by half a metre.
I am going to share my whole journey and experience with SJD so stay tuned.
