Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our SJD Homes Build (Somerfield Estate) 3Apr 14, 2018 2:42 pm Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing your build! We are thinking of building with SJD as well. We are in warragul so the only thing stopping us at the moment is the thought of having to pay a regional fee of around 8 grand for them to build in our area. Do you have an instagram page where you are posting photos as well? Re: Our SJD Homes Build (Somerfield Estate) 4Apr 14, 2018 3:08 pm No worries at all. I will post the whole process here but also have a few update images on my Instagram page @boss__nanu.

So either you were Iied to or they didn't take the same level of care for us. Did you also consult with Harvan Design (their drafting company) for the re-design of your house plans? If so I am not surprised that they did not pick up on this design flaw. Our experience with Harvan was pretty bad. They also missed a few things in our house designs that we luckily picked up on in time, but there were a few things that we missed. For example, the positioning of some of our lights were not centred on the plan (luckily our Site Supervisor has let us relocate these). They also did not mark in our drawings that we wanted recessed showers upstairs, and we only discovered this when it was too late. But they DID mark the one downstairs! of course there are legal avenues. You've already mentioned it. Sue them. I find it odd that lawyers wouldnt be willing to take on the case, given CCT evidence and… 1 14612 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
