Mojo Homes

Hi All

I would just like to say that to date, I have had a great experience with Mojo Homes! It seems that many of the positive experiences are not conveyed online so thought I'd share my experience.

I submitted a tender to build the 'Vibe' on a block of vacant land I recently purchased. I dealt with both Elle and Dennis who have been a great help in promptly answering all my questions and advising me on the feasibility of changes and alterations I suggested. Their assistance with this allowed me to quickly get my consolidated tender together and lock in the build of my new home!

As this is my first home, I was not only drawn to Mojo Homes for their competitive pricing, but also the quality and range of inclusions they have in each of their homes! They make beautiful, quality homes with affordable pricing. I couldn't believe the number of options I had when choosing things such as colours, doors and door knobs ect. Looking at other builders, it seemed that they only offered the bare minimum and had limited options in this regard.

Having also dealt with some of the other builders, Mojo Homes were the only ones to give me great customer service and attention to detail. They always got back to me very quickly and whenever I went it to see them, always greeted me with a smile on their face to put all my building worries at ease. As mentioned above, this was my first home so it was great for Elle and Dennis to take the time and walk me through the process from start to finish.

I can't wait to see my finished build towards early next year once my land is registered!

Thanks again to the Mojo team!

Hi nkelly

I hope that you have received the CT by now and things have progressed with you.
We only made a few changes to the Bolero:
- We got a larger front door (1200) and have then widened the hallway slightly by moving the garage and master bedroom out
- Our bed 4 wall was against the alfresco so we have taken out the wall (and robe that was there) and put in a sliding door
- Sliding doors in theatre
- Sliding doors to ensuite and walk in robe
- Sliding door to pantry

We also didn't make that many upgrades (we found that we were happy with their range and didn't need to), but we did do the following:
- Mojo me upgrade package was included in our house and land package already so we had the automatic upgrades from that
- We also got a promotional Ilve appliance upgrade
- We extended the glass splashback in kitchen to ceiling
- The flue from the rangehood only goes into ceiling cavity so we had that extended to outside
- Privacy locks on all bed doors
- Upgraded flyscreens to stainless steel
- Pull handles on theatre doors

Are you having hebel for external? We opted for a white colour (with black for window framing) - our reasoning was since the house is small a darker colour might make it look smaller? Our intention was to make the door the feature and paint a different colour but we might do that later down the track.

Where are you guys at right now (since I haven't been on for quite a while).

Hi All

Haven't been on in quite a while, but we've decided to build with Mojo - we're building the Melody 39.

Feels like we've had slow progress but compared to the experience of some on this forum I think things have progressed reasonably quickly for us.

We first looked at Mojo in early Feb and were provided with a preliminary estimate a couple of weeks later. We decided to proceed and paid our deposit, and about five weeks later the first tender arrived. We have since proceeded through second and third tenders as we modified the plans slightly (a couple of times), have had our first colours appointment, and were presented our Consolidated Tender a couple of weeks ago. The process has been reasonably smooth thus far, however at this stage the queries we have are no longer about the house itself, but are more related to getting it out of the ground (e.g plumbing and sewage issues that were only raised in the CT that "may" require additional works for which there are no provisions in the tender and no estimates for potential costs).
Our Sales guy is very helpful, but has to take all questions on notice, correspond with head office and get back to us. We would really just like to talk to someone with some technical knowledge to give us an idea of what we may be in for.
Anyway, we have agreed to proceed with certain provisos and are expecting to see plans in about four weeks (fingers crossed)

We'll keep you all updated as we go along...

By the way - has anyone actually started building yet?

We are building in Harrington Grove in Sydney sw. Our land doesn't get registerd about January/February 2016, so we have a bit of time to get everything done to our liking. We are just at the early stages of the process. We are looking at the Sheike Facade, 3 car garage and a few other additions. Anything I should especially mention or take note of, during the tendering process.

Looking forward to seeing how your build goes

I really like the design changes you made. Might give mine another look, especially how you located the childerns retreat.

How did you find the selection and pricing of electricals etc, at the mojo colour studio. we have not been as yet and we allocated funds for it, but I am a little worried we did not budget enough, or I will have to do most after handover.

how did you decide on some changes based on no display home to look at that has been a bit of a worry for me.

thank you for your replies.

Hi All

Next appointment for us will be 1st July for approval of plans, then colour selections.

We asked about a timeframe for the first time in our last meeting (we're not in a massive hurry as we are doing a knock-down rebuild), and were told we were now about three months from beginning construction, and about six months from completion. It will be interesting to see if the timeframe changes moving forward.

No I haven't come across anyone yet. We have our plan walk through at the end of June then colours at the end of July. So still a little bit to go.
