We are 8 months in since signing our initial quote and there is no council approval in sight as yet. All the delays have been due to either their errors or delays in getting into appointments. Was your land registered when you signed that initial quote? If yes, 8 months to wait for council approvals or to be in construction would've been too long. I suggest you note all the delays you feel MDJH caused and email/call them. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 13153Mar 09, 2016 11:06 am Hi all, I'm a long time lurker and I just wanted to say thanks for the wealth of information here! We are in the paperwork stage of building a seaside retreat and will hopefully be getting developer approval in the next few days. I plan to blog our journey if anyone is interested. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 13157Mar 11, 2016 5:38 pm Spronkly I think censorship has come to this forum! So much for sharing positive and not-so-positive experiences with our builder. Seriously?? Why don't they spend more time making their customers happy by fixing the issues than complaining about the bad experience they have given them to the forum admins. I'm still waiting for them to fix faults. 20 months after handover. Re: McDonald Jones Homes - The new thread 13158Mar 12, 2016 6:36 pm Hi, well I've finally figured out how to post an image of our house plans. It's a modified Miami 16 exec which we are pretty excited about! Colours coming up next month which is traumatising me already as I keep changing my mind. I'm wondering if I should speak to an interior designer regarding my colour schemes for internal and external in an attempt to try and pull my ideas together before I go to MJH colours appointment so that I end up with what I'm trying to achieve? Has anyone else used a colour specialist before going into their colours appointment?

We're building our forever home, super exciting. We just had our colours appt on Thursday. Went very smoothly but we knew we wanted minimal in terms of a colour palette and had fiddled around with some on a mac app beforehand (thankfully hubby and I were on he same page!). MJH are great to work with in the meeting and I'm sure if you take a few ideas in (which they encourage) they will be easy to work with and will bring some ideas and tips to the table. You have the day. We were out by 1 though! Next step sign off and plans through council....Apparently our council isn't the quickest! Please be kind to us Hawkesbury Council....
