We are also planning to build in Penrith and need some feedback about the experience, customer service and the quality. Can you help? Najua Re: McDonald Jones Homes- Tulloch-31 7Sep 26, 2018 2:59 pm Hi Najua We are very happy with our initial experience during design selection, colour selection, contract signing. Their team lived up to our expectations and reputation in market. They were happy to accommodate our requests and details in design and colour selection making it very smooth for us to sail through the process. However, do not have very good experience with the Project Coordinator assigned to us. The coordination process seems to be very slow and not transparent ,compared to other builders so far. We had to follow up extensively to get updates and push things forward. With respect to quality, our construction has not yet begun. It will be too early for me to comment on quality. Based on what we hear about their reputation in market we are hoping they will come up to speed when the construction process begins and also deliver good quality. Fingers crossed! Best wishes to you on your home build plan. Regards Soumya Re: McDonald Jones Homes- Tulloch-31 8Jul 09, 2019 9:17 pm Hi Soumyva, Congrats on the new build and hope you are enjoying the place.

Can you please let me know the upgrades you selected and how much it costed approximately to get an idea? I will be building in schofields on a 10m frontage zero lot and would there be any challenges in getting council approval? If you could shed some light it would be great and very helpful.
