Great Job SJD!
SJD have done an amazing job producing a quality build, which I am extremely happy with!
Being a first home buyer, the original draw card was the floor plan which fitted perfectly on my block and they were straight to the point as to what was included and not in the base price which was very refreshing. Living in the end product now, the quality of build is great and I’m very happy with my home.
Throughout the process the customer service was exemplary starting with the sales process and continuing on through the construction with the site su...Read more
pervisor. The team seemed to go above and beyond and always worked with you which is extremely important. Using SJD gave me peace of mind that they were going to do the right thing, they were always quick to respond and address any concerns and the whole process went smoothly producing high quality home.1 comment

Perfect Decision
We built two houses and it was the perfect decision to build with SJD homes after shopping around with many. (My daughter also built with SJD Homes and she is absolutely rapt that she did).
From Ms. Tracey Johnson who did a marvellous job in drawing up the plan to fit the block, accomodating our requirements etc. to Mr. Aaron Walker - the friendly and ever obliging Supervisor- the experience was stressless.
We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending SJD Homes to anyone.

Our 3rd house built with SJD Homes
This was our 3rd house that we had built, but our first house with SJD Homes, so we knew what we wanted. SJD Homes was brilliant to deal with, from Kevin in the display home we purchased in, to by far the best site manager we have dealt with in Shane Quinlan.
We were able to adjust our plans to suit our block, and our vision of what we wanted, which was very specific. Kevin never had an issue with this and was willing to help us as much as we needed. He was also very knowledgeable about the building process and was able to offer ideas we hadn'...Read more
t considered. Shane was responsible for the entire building process, and was easily the best site manager we have dealt with. He was very forthcoming with any requested information, letting us know where the house was at, or even making a time whenever it suited us to meet on site to look over everything. Under Shane's supervision, our house was a very quick build, to a very high standard. The initial drawcard for SJD Homes was their prices and floor plans. When we checked against all other builders, SJD Homes was significantly cheaper, and didnt charge anything extra for modifications.

Never thought that it would actually happen.
Building is a team effort, it start with the sales team (Mark and Resta) and end with the building supervisor (Kim) and somewhere in all of this is the back office. From a ratings point of view it could have been 'Excellent' if the back office did their part.
During the sales cycle Mark and Resta were always available and we went through a number of iterations before we came to the $ number that fit into the budget.
Initially there were a short delay but once the slab was poured the progress were pretty good...nearly too good. Kim managed t...Read more
he whole process and was always available and took my calls whenever I called him. He made sure that the trades kept the building site neat and the floors clean after every stage of the build. Overall the workmanship and quality of materials used are pretty good. A big thumbs up for the tiler, he did an excellent job. A special thanks to Kim. There are some horror stories out there and he took all the stress away and made the final product something to be proud of...for him and us.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Thank you SJD for my new beautiful home
Thank you for all the staff there who helped to build my dream house. Shane Quinlan was my building supervisor and he was very helpful and professional. I just had the 3 month maintenance review and he attended to it promptly and efficiently. Shane was approachable from the beginning till the end. I am very happy with the quality and the design of the house. So thank you for all your help. Also Jean was very helpful as well and she is very knowledgeable. She gave us really good ideas to make it a better home. Thank you for all your help and a big thank you to everyone who was involved.

Thank you SJD
We highly recommend SJD Homes. They were very professional, helpful and approachable from the start to finish of our build. We felt like we were treated like a person and not a number. Neville Howitt was our contact through the design stage and was extremly professional, friendly and flexible. Brad Little was our building supervisor and was so helpful and effecient. Any queries or issues were always resolved quickly. SJD has built us a beautiful and quality family home and Neville and Brad have made the journey a pleasure for us to remember. Thank you and we would definitely builde with you again.

Our Dream House is a Reality - Thanks to SJD
I cannot believe we are living in our dream home, something that we thought was so far out of our reach at this point in our lives, so much so that after initially seeing Jean in regards to our dream home, we thought we could do better, boy were we wrong! We wasted over a year with other builders, only to find that SJD offered SO much more for so much less!!
After wasting our time with other builders for a year, we went back to Jean (Sales Consultant), she was brilliant!! She had some great ideas on ways to improve the floor plan, she was min...Read more
dful about our budget, she never tried to make us spend more than we wanted, she just wanted to give us the best we could get for our budget. I couldnt believe after doing our colour selections and upgrades, how much more we had in our build over the other builders!! Our 47sq home came in at 20k less than previous builders' quotes for approx, on top of that we received everything on our wish list!! Our build went smoothly, a couple small things, but it was all manageable, and out of anyones control, Kim our Site Supervisor did an amazing job, the quality of workmanship is top notch, any issues we had along the way he was there to fix straight away! He always answered his phone or called back within 5 minutes, Absolutely could not of asked for anyone better to manage our build, the kind of guy you could have a good chat to or coffee/beer with! Kim worked with us every step of the way, he was there whenever we needed him, not only did he make the process less stressful for us, but he got it done months before expected completion! If we ever do decide to build again in the future I will be going straight back to SJD and I think any of our friends and family who have seen our house and our journey would be to!Similar opinion?

SJD - Very Happy!
SJD took our sketches and brought them to life!
Having a non-standard block and trying to make the most of our views, having a builder that understood this was important. From our first meeting on site with Neville to overlook our block and to get our vision, we never looked back.
We were appointed James as our supervisor, and his eye for detail was second to none. Like all builds, we encountered our challenges, but its how James (and SJD’s team) resolved them that made this project so enjoyable. James understood the importance of this b...Read more

SJD Homes Overall Very Happy
This is the second home that we have built with SJD and would highly recommend them. In our experience they have been very accommodating during the design phase to ensure our needs were met. We were impressed with Neville during our initial consultation to design the house.
Part way through the build we were allocated a new building supervisor, being Kim. We could not speak highly enough of Kim. The level of service and care he has shown us has been exceptional. Kim is 5 out of 5 stars in our opinion :)

SJD - Dream Home, Dream Builders
Been in our SJD Home for 6 weeks now, and its everything we’d hoped.
Our consultant throughout – Rachel – was helpful beyond belief, from answering initial build enquiries to helping us design our home. Suggestions, tweaks, and ‘can we just change this?’ were always met with a pragmatic discussion, as was the colour selection process later on.
Build supervisor Aaron kept us up to date with what was going on, and regular site visits ensured everything was installed where it should.
Minor issues were dealt with promptly, and the ‘after sales service’, has also been top notch.
Would recommend SJD to people looking for a quality house product – especially those who like adding their own touch to an already professionally developed plan.

Very happy with our Home - Thank you SJD
Our entire experience with SJD Homes from start to finish was simply a great journey.
Tracey Johnson our building consultant was an absolute pleasure and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to build a new home. All of our queries were promptly answered with relevant recommendations and suggestions for all of the structural design changes we made. But most importantly, Tracey did not blindly agree with every request we made, but was happy to provide guidance and honest opinions in leading us toward a better solution. We really liked...Read more
that we worked with Tracey from selecting our home through to the start of construction. Half way through our build we had a change of construction supervisors and luckily for us, Kim O’Connor’s knowledge and dedication kept our build on schedule. Easily approachable, Kim made it a pleasure to communicate, answering any questions and addressing any issues that were identified. He was quick to organise trades after the 3 month maintenance period and followed up if we were happy with the workmanship. Thank you to Tracey, Kim and all of the office staff we dealt with, you are a true asset to SJD Homes.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Extremely happy with our new home
Big thanks to all the staff at SJD Homes.
Thanks to Rod for helping us choose the easiest block to work with, and then Neville did a great job to organise and customise the plans.
Kim did a fantastic job making sure the build was perfectly executed from start to finish. He kept us well informed and managed to quickly rectify any issues that came our way throughout the build.
Would highly recommend them!

Glad we chose SJD.
We are extremely pleased and satisfied with the design, and construction of our new home. Every interaction, start to finish, was a positive experience. SJD provided the best customer service. They are polite and respectful. The entire process went smoothly and they kept us informed along the way. It was, completely, a stress-free experience. Shane, you are a gem. You made us feel like family. Extra 5 stars for you. We always loved the regular updates from your end, especially, with the pictures. We appreciate all the efficient work done for us in order to make our journey pleasant and memorable. SJD indeed has created a trustful relationship and we are thankful to the whole team. We highly recommend SJD to everyone.

I couldn't thank Amy and Paul enough, from the moment we met Amy she was always there to help us through the process of buying our land to choosing our house. From the moment we started building our house Paul was always just a phone call away to answer the questions that we had. Now we are all moved in and settled we can't thank SJD enough we love our house.

Good build overall, finished a little rough.
We chose SJD in 2015 on a recommendation and overall were happy.
Pros:
- Value for money was great, better standard inclusions than all the big name builders and very few extras to take up, so we kept cost down.
- At the time we were able to use our own electrician.
- Flooring was included in price.
- Build ran well and finished on time.
- No major unforeseen variations, few minor ones.
- Fit and finish of carpentry was good.

Happy with our house
Overall we are pretty happy with our home.
We experienced a LOT of issues during the build though.
Incorrect door sizes on plans so builders had to re order different doors, our chosen floorboards were discontinued and they only realised the week before our flooring was meant to be done LOL
Didn’t receive many updates during the build.
Our landscaper did our landscaping before the fencing was done ?
Our landscaper planted our plants over the boundary line so one of our garden beds is half the size it was supposed to be :)
All our air conditioning vents are crooked.
The heating wasn’t connected properly (rattled)
When the cooling was installed (evap) no one bothered to hook in the water lol ? ...Read more

Quality of SJD Homes is outstanding!
We’ve been in our SJD Homes for 4 weeks now and we are loving every minute. As with every builder, there were some minor issues but, all was swiftly rectified once the issues were raised to SJDs attention.
Quality of the build is next to none. The sales team in the office are amazing! Shout out to Rachel and Lana for the amazing support and attention to detail they provided us. We thank you greatly.
They helped us get the dream home we always dreamed of. We customised the house to suit our needs and made it unique. No change was too hard, a...Read more
nd everything we wanted they updated, swapped, changed and made us happy. The cost compared to other mainstream builders was far better with SJD Homes. Our house is fully upgraded and we still stuck to our limit. We probably went 2-3k over which, we feel was pretty good. Only cons, as I think with all builders is the lack of communication once the build starts. I think they should have regular stage updates or even an app that shows you were your house progress is at. We just felt we had to send emails requesting updates, but other than that. It was great.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. A typical build time for smaller homes is up to six months however this is variable and dependent on many factors.
Sjd is one of the worst builder in Melbourne, look some where else.
