Browse Forums Building A New House Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 407Aug 06, 2017 8:12 pm MrsPeabody we have chosen the same bricks for our SJD build. Tough choice with Austral, I found that all the colours really didn't go and the ones we liked were all a few 'seasons' ago. Has anyone had any delays with parts of the build? Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 408Aug 06, 2017 8:29 pm I think once the garden and landscaping is done I am hoping I like them better. We have finished ahead of schedule. I really am such a happy customer and have told lots of people of my positive experience. The bricks were the only thing I feel they could have given us a bit more guidance with, but in hindsight we should have been more proactive in choosing too. Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 410Aug 06, 2017 8:48 pm Oh, don't worry. I spent numerous days looking at bricks on houses and at the Austral displays, much to hubby's enjoyment (not!) The old selection manual had the brick colour that I liked, but in real-life the colour was nowhere near what it had in the book- my first choice turned out to be a bright red brick!! Our design is a custom- ranch style. I didn't want our house standing out like a sore thumb, hehe How long did SJD anticipate your build to take and how long did it actually take? Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 411Aug 06, 2017 8:55 pm We signed at the very end of Jan, start of feb with a 365 day contract. They initially said they would try to have us in by Christmas, then November, then when we told them we were expecting a 3rd baby in September they have done their best to have us in before my due date (27th September). Ours is a two story and it's a KDR which both take a bit longer it seems. What house are you building? Re: SJD Homes.

Yes, that is a challenge if you do it yourself. I have, and am still going Re: SJD Homes. Who's built with them. 414Aug 07, 2017 1:45 am MrsPeabody Congratulations Jclw! what an exciting time. I am so happy you are in and all is well. DjG5 any news? I hope you are in. we had a walk through at lock up today and I am so happy. Its just exactly what we wanted. Bigger but not huge, light! So much light, it makes such a difference to how I feel. The house we are living in has one north facing window and I am noticing it so much, its dark and cold and makes me so uncomfortable.
