Building with SJD Homes in 2020 - Charleston 310 customised

We have had 6-7 bathrooms/toilets exhaust fan vents ducted and vent through the roof in our plans (rather than leaving them inside the ceiling/roof). I was actually not a fan of having too many vents on the (black) colorbond roof (as it looks ugly) so I discussed with my site supervisor and he mentioned that there is new product introduced in the market which will vent the exhaust fans through fascia. He helped me and we changed those from "vent through roof" to "vent through fascia".

I bought Brandford Anticon Blanket R1.3 for our colorbond roof for the whole house to reduce weather affect (Heat/Cold) and to reduce rain/hail noise.

That’s a very good solution . Did you pay anything extra for that ?

Such a smart move! Effectively taking out 6 holes that could eventually leak. I can do this with bathroom ecxhaust but can't do for other 4 away from wall by more than 2m

Have you had any issues with site supervisor not completing works specified by the independent inspector?

Nah, our supervisor have been fixing most of the stuff picked up by our independent building inspector (Darbecca).

BTW guys, my house has been completed and handed over on 20 July 2021. However, I got lazy to post updates or pictures etc... I will share my experience with SJD Homes when I get chance

That's awesome. My SJD build kicks off on Feb 2, hopefully not too many issues, lol.
Let the fun times begin!

Hi Murtaxa,

Great to see your home building journey. How was your experience with SJD? Will you recommend them?

I am looking to build and was thinking about exploring with SJD. Any advice?

Hi Roshy, it's been 20 months since we moved to the new house we built with SJD and I can definitely recommend them. Their 3 months after-handover maintenance team was awesome.
