AMAZING BUILDER!! highly recommend!! 10/10
From start to end SJD home have been amazing,
My experience started with me
Going to all the other builders( carlisle, metricon you name it) with the same requirements and being told things where to hard and would cost an excessive amount, all I wanted done is to extend a room space and build an oven wall, when I went into SJD I met Kevin and made the whole process seamless,
Then onto the build, I was well informed step by step when things are happening, I was blessed to have an Awsome site manager in SCOTT C, he always answered my calls and took the time to meet me and explain each stage, also sending me photo updates ..
All in all
SJd, Scott and Kevin and the team did an amazing job ...Read more
Highly recommend this builder Thanks guys!

Thank you SJD Homes for building our dream home!
It was a great journey building our dream home with SJD SouthEast team!
Our first home was a turnkey home (through another builder) so we were very specific and we pretty much know what we want when we decided to build our dream family home. We looked at a range of display houses at SJD Tulliallan and met our sales consultant, Kevin Pearson. My husband and I were very specific when he asked what we wanted in a nutshell and normally other builders would be like " That would be part of another range", but Kevin on the other hand said, "Great, I ...Read more
have the floor plan that suits your needs - a combination of two display homes". And we knew right there and then, we were going to build with SJD. He had the flexibility of meeting us outside business hours and had gone through the contract thoroughly with us making sure that we understand what we're signing for - we thought that was really professional. Thank you so much, Kevin! Our site supervisor, Wesley Pate, was nothing short of amazing. He was meticulous with his trades and was always one step ahead. There were a few hiccups along the way - something you'd have to expect when you're building but he'd already arranged for a solution and still maintained transparency with us. P.S Thank you, Wes for your patience! A shout out to Leah, for guiding us through our color selection. It was one of the most thrilling part of the build and definitely one of the most nerve-racking ordeal but we came out of it more excited thanks to Leah's professional input. To the staff of SJD Pakenham Office, thank you all for a great customer service may it be during meet ups or just for simple queries over the phone. We are very appreciative of all your efforts. We've been living in our SJD built home for nearly 9 months now and honestly couldn't fault them. We have a spacious, family - friendly home which can accommodate big family gatherings like we always have.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Happy Customers!
From start to finish and beyond we couldn't be happier with SJD!
Our amazing sales consultant we could not fault including finding times outside of business hours that worked for us to meet up and having a baby in the middle of it all as well. Our supervisor who ensured the build went smoothly and was always one step ahead if we had any questions & of course the wonderful office staff who never anything short of a pleasure to deal with!

Excellent builder!
Our build was stress free thanks to our building supervisor Brad. He made the whole process move along so smoothly!
We are so happy with our new home!
The workmanship of the trades has been fantastic for the most part. A few painting defects awaiting repairs as per usual on any newly built home, but everything else has been superb. This is our first home and we are so glad we decided to build with SJD.

Fantastic Experience
From start to finish its been a great process with SJD. Tracy our sales consultant went above and beyond to help us build our dream home. The standard inclusions were fantastic and upgrades at colours day were not too costly. Our construction supervisor Kim delivered us a stunning house, trouble free and quickly. I would reccomend SJD to anyone. Thanks SJD for all your work.

Home sweet home
We have settled into our new house and it already feels like home. Our build with SJD Homes was completed well within the expected time frame and we could not have asked for a better supervisor.
James' attention to detail was second to none and we loved that he was constantly thinking ahead and making suggestions on things we hadn't considered. His communication through-out the build was great and I always knew which trades were coming through each week which definitely made us feel more involved with the process.
We can't thank James enough for his invaluable knowledge and guidance through-out the build!

Excellent journey with SJD for our first home!
We have had a fantastic journey building our first home with SJD. Jean Morrison was our Sales Consultant who we cannot speak highly enough of. She helped us design a custom home while sticking to our budget and made herself available for us whenever we needed her throughout the entire build.
Kim O'Connor was a site supervisor who we also cannot speak highly enough of. He also made himself available anytime we needed to have a chat. He kept in close contact with us, letting us know how things were going every step of the way. Kim was amazing wit...Read more

So impressed with SJDS - Love our new house
The whole experience with SJD was fantastic, from initial discussions with Rachel through to final build with Brad.
SJD were so helpful in allowing us to modify one of their standard designs to create something very special for us.
As someone who works in the construction industry, I understand the importance of a good supervisor and Brad was fantastic. He always kept us informed, is meticulous with his trades and we couldn't be more pleased.
Thank you Brad, Rachel and the rest of the SJD team, we will enjoy what you have created for us for many years to come.

We stumbled across this company when looking at display homes and were immediately impressed with the floor plan and the quality of the build!

experience and great customer service, his execution was immaculate with exceptional attention to details and building requirements, he walked us through every stage of the building and always communicated with us and attended to our emails straight away, we were so lucky to have James as our site supervisor he was very organized and thorough, our building finished on time to move in before Christmas. We are a very picky couple and he was very patient and flexible with us and we can't thank him enough for his hard work .We have done a 6 month of research before signing with SJD and definently they are very well priced specially after looking at the quality of the finishing and the tradesmen work, we had almost included everything that was in their display homes and it was still cheaper than the standard building with a lot of the other builders, Its definently a company to trust for building your dream home. We have just moved into our new home and already loving it !!! Thanks so much SJD team you have promised and delivered. We definetly going to be a returning customerSimilar opinion?

Great service! Great Build!
We have had a great journey with SJD from start to finish! We have been in our new home for 2 weeks now and are very happy! We spent a long time researching builders and found SJD was by far the best when it came to inclusions and transparency. We were lucky enough that any minor issues were picked up early in the build so they didn't cause major ones and our supervisor was great in listening to any concerns we had and easing any worries I had. We have been really happy with the overall finishes in the house and we have paid exactly what was in...Read more

Our dream home!
My wife and I looked at a lot of builders when we were looking for our perfect floorplan. That's when we saw a design that we liked the look of in the SJD display homes and the friendly staff assisted us by modifying the plans to suit us perfectly. The team at SJD went above and beyond to make sure that we understood what we should expect and how things were progressing with our new home.

here for us, not to tick a box. We felt comfortable to ask questions, even the stupid ones, and not feel judged. Our build was due for completion around Christmas, but the team at SJD worked with their tradies, admin and with us to ensure that we were able to move in before the Christmas break. You hear horror stories about builds going wrong or poor communication, but my wife and I have had the dream experience with SJD. We are both very grateful for James and all of the hard working members of SJD who have helped us along the way.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

The best of five homes l have built
We have built 5 homes all with different builders. I had issues with each of them with the exception of SJD homes. From the start with the sales person, Kevin Pearson and then the building supervisor, Kim O'Connor who always kept us well informed and ensured that an excellent job was done along with being on time. Very professional promptly answering our enquires, we would highly recommend SJD. Thanks Kevin and Kim

Lack of knowledge regarding the Australian Standards and Tolerances
The sales experience was very positive. The build was well below average. Our supervisor had no backbone in dealing with the tradies, which showed in the workmanship. Quality is not there and they tried to hide all the stuff ups with a filler. It appears no one in the company knows The Australian Standards. A supervisor is not a supervisor if he has no knowledge of The Australian Standards and Tolerances. Frame was only structural four months after frame inspection was passed. One wall had to be rebuilt FOUR times. The fix was appalling, way too much filler in architraves and skirtings.
Building with SJD Homes was very disappointing due to excessive amount of poor workmanship. We Can't recommend SJD HOMES after our experience.

Thanks to the team at SJD for building our dream home. The customer service from Amy Whitney was amazing and one of the main reasons we chose SJD. We were happy with everything she did for us through the process. Our site supervisor James Unthank kept us updated with all the progress and the overall build was so fast. We are enjoying our new home and would highly recommend SJD.

Made our dream a reality by turning a house into a home.
From the beginning in December 2018 with Mark at the Clyde North display, through to handover with site supervisor Kim, this build has been impeccable. We were always so pleased to be able to see new progress every weekend during our weekly visit to the build site. Mark went above and beyond to secure us the best deal and from the second we moved over to the construction phase in June, Kim went through every single step with a fine toothed comb to ensure that things were perfect. He even picked up on some things we didn't notice! Most SS would ...Read more
just ignore these little things but Kim's attention to detail was the difference between making a stock-standard house and making a home. We also appreciated how strict Kim was with his trades - even asking them to come and do a better job at cleaning up after themselves! We have been so pleased with the build process and are so appreciative of the accommodations that Kim made for us to help us in our journey. Whether it was answering texts late at night or meeting outside work hours to suit our hectic schedules, we always felt like we could trust what he was telling us and that we didn't need to worry about anything. This was so important to us and we can't thank Kim enough. Compared to our last build with a different company, SJD have been absolutely incredible. Our 'standard' inclusions are what other companies charge extra for. We are in awe of the finished product and are in love with our SJD home. Thank you Mark, Kim and the rest of the team.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Job well done!!!
This was our first home, and it was not an easy process of finding the right builder when you know nothing about building construction. There are so many builders out there in the market, and everybody is offering great discounts and extra values. However, the service is not very satisfactory (I have friends complaining about so many issues with their first home.)
Our journey with SJD was utterly different. Rachel was a fantastic person to deal with. The continues improvements that she has made to our custom-built house was immeasurable. We h...Read more
ave nearly spent two years speaking to various builders, and Rachel was the only person who is very knowledgeable and honest with us. She is a miracle worker. She has got a lot of patience and never got upset with us for anything. We felt like that we are dealing with somebody in our family. Rachel has the instinct to understand what the customer wants. There are no short cuts or misguiding. The second most important person is James. James was our building supervisor. He was straightforward and upfront with us. I want to call him Mr. Perfect for the quality of his supervision.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Our dream home thank you very much for making it possible.
Our experience from start to finish was seamless and easy from finding the display home, planning and paper work with Mark Whittney to handover with James Unthank. Mark's knowledge and advice really helped with the planning, Leah helped us with our vision for colours and we appreciated James' experience and input into making our home of a very high quality. James communication, professionalism and workmanship of all trades made building our first home a great experience.
Everything was completed on time and on schedule and we have had absolutely no problems since.
We would highly recommend SJD Homes and would build with them again.
