stress-free.

What truly sets CJ Home apart from traditional builders is their flexibility. They are always willing to accommodate changes to suit your needs. In our case, our block of land wasn’t a standard square lot, and most builders’ standard floor plans didn’t fit. However, CJ Home worked with us at no extra cost to design a custom home that perfectly suited our block while also meeting the covenant requirements.

Their commitment to customer satisfaction and adaptability made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend CJ Home to anyone looking for a reliable and flexible home builder!

Not a good building company – CJ Homes at Capalaba, should you get them to build your home? This is about our build with CJ homes, nothing made up and nothing false in any way, this is our story! On The HIA building contract for your new home, there is a section on the last page for a start date and completion date to be put in, do this or do not sign that document!!!!!! When… Read more

they say it’s just a standard HIA building contract when you say you need to take this home and read it, don’t listen to that, take it home and study it or show a solicitor before signing. There is a part of all this that builders can use to prolong your start date by putting permissions for you to sign along the way, this means that they can put off your build until 20 days after all permissions are completed, be careful of this, get those start and finish dates put in the last page of your contract! In late 2020 we were trying to get a builder to do a small home of 20 old school squares for us and most were all full, mainly due to the governments home builders grant. Coral homes, our second preferred builder after the best, being fetini of course, had no spots left for our build to happen; they were full by mid November and honest about it. Coral homes had 400 on their books to complete the slab, as is required at that time, though extended later on, by 3 months from the signing of the building contract to get in on the home builder’s grant of which we needed to get a home built, and extra three months was added later on by the government. The sign up had to happen and contract sent in to the home builders grant department by the end of December or you miss out on the twenty five thousand dollars builders grant to those renovating or building a home, that all up, was over the value of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so we signed with CJ homes on the 21st of December 2020.

It was in November 2020, my wife found CJ homes at Capalaba and after consultations with the owner of the company, the builder called Uri and then office staff, it was said to us by the owner of CJ homes which is the builders companies name, that if the contract was signed by the end of December, and we achieved that on the 21st of December, the slab would be done before that same date in March as the home builders grant wanted, to ensure we got that grant money! The grant time frame was extended by an extra 3 months, no change to our time frame was mentioned to us by the builder at any time. (Colour selection time), January 5th 2021, it all seemed fine, we were called in to select all that made up the home like bricks, colours, everything! That went well and all that we wanted was available.

We organised the demolition of our home as the builders cost on this was far too high at over 33 thousand dollars; able earth moving did a great job for 23 thousand dollars. They began a few days later then the day i booked them in for, so that stopped them from being able to get any gear from the home to sell. That was disappointing as we had a near new kitchen in our home and other good gear, all wasted as I thought by glancing at the home contract that i needed the demolition achieved within 60 days to be in line with the HIA contract we signed for our home. On it was written, the build has to start within 60 days of signing the contract. But later on we found out unless permissions have not been finalized, they got the time frame legally extended by this part without our knowledge as it went along, the permissions could have been done in early January. If it was intentional to extend our builds time frame by doing this, i don't know, but it appears that way. When wanting specific things like a concrete driveway and in my case concrete drive tracks down the side of the house for boat and caravan, when you put on your plan that when measuring the sizes of these tracks as such, 10 millimeters or 1 centimeter represents 1 meter. Don’t expect him to get it right, I did and that was my mistake, none of the mud map provided for him to quote off the plan from him for the work ended up correct. Why, I don’t know, maybe it was not understanding a simple mud map plan or cutting corners to allow for more profit. My plan for him to quote off was based on 1 centimeter representing I meter was pretty simple but one thing was not passed onto office staff, the driveway at the roads edge was to line up with the curb opening and that would be on an angle as I wanted, which never happened as the builder never passed that on. Demolishing your own home consists of finding an earth moving company that do demolition and most do that, so we choose able earth moving and i organized the abolishment as well with our electrical supplier, which means your homes electricity meters and power are taken off your home. We paid extra so the abolishment got done on time to not hold up the demolition team or the builder. That ended up being wasted money!!! Though Able did a great job, they could not get any gear from our home to sell as is with demolitions due to the time frame, we needed it down, I thought by looking at the HIA contract within 60 days from the contract signed, i thought it was applicable here, it wasn't, the build time frame that was told to us by the builder, did not happen! That was a screw up on our part by not putting a start and finish date on our contract! The rep from the builder said when i wanted to take the contract home and study it, it’s just a standard HIA contract she said and my wife started signing! It seemed later on as if we were conned, if it was read, which would be an inconvenience for them and good for us, the contract could have been made safer for us by putting in both estimated start and fish time frames in the last part of the contract. There was much i could have used from our home as could have able earth moving, none of that happened, so much waste of gear and money on our side due to build time frame stated by the builder not adhered to by the builder!! It was now obvious that by not going with the builders earth moving companies quote on demolition costs, this may have annoyed them as they say they advertise that they are the demolition/rebuild experts, but we would have been even more financially worse off! We also found out that if the builder organized the demolition, it was part of the required 150k for the home builders scheme, but when we got it done, it could not be classed as part of the build to be included in the 150k any more, we found this out later on, no matter. As usual, the government makes no sense with much of what it does!!! (Looking for a builder), tried working with coral homes from October to November, they were full by mid November, we lost them, they could not take any more new builds on their books so my wife found CJ homes. (Started talking to CJ homes-) The builder seemed honest and reliable, unlike many I have dealt with in my time and we were told the slab would be completed within 3 months from contract signed and house built completed by around May/June, depending on weather, so I thought, June/July more like it, our lease on the rental property my wife found expires on August 5th so all good there. The rent for the build time was then paid at nearly 12 thousand dollars.

(Contract signed) the HIA contract was signed by us on the 21st of December 2020 and we made a serious mistake in trusting CJ homes, we did not get a start date and finish date put on that contract as the rep from the builder said it was a standard HIA contract as if all would be fine, no worries, so we signed at my dismay, we had not read it yet!!!

We previously found a demolition mob called Able earth moving to do our demolition, they were 23k, the builder wanted around 33k, so we booked in the demolition of our old home for the 15th of February. I read the contract we signed quickly after it had been signed and on it was the home had to be started with 60 days of signing contract, so i pushed the demo mob and they did it just in time. Little did i know this on the contract meant very little, we found out later on that the build does not have to start till within 20 days after all permissions are finished, so we got all kinds of things to sign that are classed as permissions until well into March that we had no idea were coming or needed! There are several things you have to pay for beyond the actual contract build! If your home is demolished, you pay for the extraction of your electricity meters and the wire take off your home, this around 6 to 7 hundred dollars. Then the builder’s pole and electricity connected to it then the reconnection to your new home.

January 5th 2021, we were called in for colours choice, this is to choose all that our home would be made of, and all that we wanted was available. We wanted bricks outside of their selection, they were available at an extra cost, we agreed on this. These bricks became unavailable in March, two weeks before that meeting, so we lost them, the builder took too long, also the roof tiles could not be done till June due to so many tilers working on the roofs in spring field lake area, so we could not get them done till June, so we agreed to go with a steel roof that is thousands of dollars dearer to get the build going, sadly the steel roof happened the same time as the tiles were going to be done any way, we lose again due to bad organizing skills on their part. Now who knows when our home will be built or even if the roof will be ready before that time frame making the steel roof, a waste of money and with our areas bad reception, no mobile phone reception in that steel roof home. (Costs to the land owner) we pay for soil testing, power disconnection, builders power pole connection and reconnection to the new home then anything power related later on. You pay for soil testing, not the one you want if you find one, we organized one for the second test but had to organize the soil test with their soil tester, later it was found to be not needed, just more stress!! The first test was while our home was still up before demolition, the sold test company are in Noosa? It found solid yellow sand stone at 600 mill down at the front of our current home and it is 400 mill to it at the rear, both tests where they were done, would be under the new slab. We had a meeting with builder and told him we get water from rear properties, he wanted to put in stones and an ag pipe at rear of slab down 700 mill below the slab to drain off water, I said okay to the pipe, I didn’t know how he would do it at that stage, once I read how and saw the block cut, I knew then that it was impossible to achieve it. Once the block was to be ready for the build, from front to rear there would only be a 400 mill fall to the road gutter, plus once the block is cut, the sand stone would be at the surface to 200mill down, the ag pipe was now redundant, the builder did not like that i did not want this to be done now, as it was impossible to be done anyway! This one failing had me worried about the builder, which i figured this out from the soil test, but the builder I assume, did not?? (February 15th the demolition) team arrived and I got the site fence delivered that we wanted to be responsible for, the demo team said they would pay the first 3 months and me from then on while the house is built. The builder normally does this at an extra cost, but I got it cheaper and there may have been a lag of time between the demo and build start and I could not leave the block open to anyone, this is due to safety concerns. On the 20th the house demolition was completed and a great job was done of it. All council papers, sewerage capped off and certifier paper work completed and the block completely cleared on the 20th of February. I had told the builder before it that the demolition would be on time at our colour choice appointment in early January, of which is the decisions on all that our house will be made of and look like. I told them that the demo would be done by the contracts stipulation of the build commencing within 60 days from the signing of the contract which was done on the 21st of December 2020. Able did a good fast job and at the rear of where the slab will go, the sandstone is now at the surface, no chance of digging in any ag pip without serious digging problems, as it was, the plumbers had to engage a jack hammer on the back hoe to get into the sandstone to put in a few pipes for the sewerage. I went in to the builder’s office at capalaba and told them the block will be ready to build on by the 21st of February! Since the demolition, each day i go to the block to do an hour or two of work on my fence or landscaping or anything else i can do and told the builders staff that I will have nothing work wise to do with or will interfere with the build, i can’t do much each day, my bad shoulder and back and neck interferes with working. CJ homes boasts that they are the demolition/build specialists, so by getting your own demolition completed outside of their preferred demolition group and not paying them at least 10 thousand dollars more for them to organize what you can get organized, this may mean they are not achieving extra money being made from our build and this may partly explain why our build is so far behind and possibly lacking much consideration, I would hope that this isn’t the case! We called their preferred demolition guys and they wanted over 30 thousand dollars, we found three others from just calling around to earth moving companies that would do it for at the most, 23 thousand dollars, we chose able earth moving to do it, he seemed very capable.

(April 4th 2021), a sign saying CJ homes went up in front of our block, still no work on our block done by the builder as yet! In the second week of April I got to meet the supervisor for our build at our block, it had been said to me, to meet with him in the previous two weeks, but it was said in a way as if they were waiting to do this before the build would start, i replied with "can you please just start the build, it has nothing to do with a meeting with me, we need our home built". It was already way behind the schedule the builder gave us. Once i met the supervisor, he told me he had only been given our block and build to organize in the last two weeks, which is around two weeks after the builder told us the slab, would be finished. Aspects of our home lost It is now 2 months after all that our house will be made of was chosen and found to be available and in that time, we lost our bricks, the builder ordering them took far too long; so being quite convenient to the builder, we had to go with a brick from their range. We also lost our bath room basins and lost our roof tiles. Our dream home has already become not what we wanted and was agreed upon, and for two months from signing our contract, all of this was available! The supervisor also said one of the office staff had told him unofficially to look at our site a couple of weeks back after a storm, the block was quite wet then, there had been three lots of heavy rain so our block had dried and got wet three times during March and early April, no one had looked at it during any of the dry times so far from what i was told. (April 12th), a load of stones was dropped in the drive way and moved around by a bobcat adding to the one and a half meters i got the demolition team to put in the driveway to satisfy council requirements as to prevent sediment run off. The rocks dropped off were two meters all up; it needed four meters, not two meters beyond what I had to put in to do the job properly. The 20 mill blue metal stones i had the demolition crew put in was only from the curb to the blocks border line and were working perfectly at holding back any silt as i wanted the demolition guys to achieve thinking the build would be only a week or two off. (When a demo is achieved), they usually leave the drive way section from the blocks border to the curb in till the build is done, then you pay for it to be lifted and taken away and they lay the new driveway, this helps keep the road free of sediment till the build is done, the 20 mill blue metal rocks did it beautifully.

There was mess on the road from the bobcat and i wanted to clean it for him with all the tools and hose required to do it as had them there then, he said no and used the bobcat on our road and scratched it up.

(April 14th, block leveling as in prep/cut was done.)

(April 15th surveyor set out slab) and told me where our fence line is which was very helpful as I do my own fences.

(April 16th plumbers did all pipes) ready for slab set up. I looked at the pipe layout and something was wrong!! I wanted a drain in the 3rd bedroom as it was to be my storeroom and fish room, as in my saltwater aquariums. There was no drain in the middle of where the room would go, just a pipe leaning on the fence and one in a strange place coming out if the soil next t the room towards the lounge room?? Not wanting to cause trouble I did not bring it up and read the plan and here it was, in that bedroom my drain was to be a dry waste, crap!! That is what was leaning on the fence and that is not what I asked for or wanted. But by regulations, it had to be! I was not told it would be a dry waste, but I would have understood! Due to a lot of soil being disturbed by the cut and plumbers, I needed to move more soil to the rear of the block. (May 4th slab completed), due to my own extensive experience with concreting, I would give the surface of the slab an 8 out of 10 and the edges 6 out of 10. This builder has the slab extending around 100 mill out from the brick work to avoid white ants entering via weep holes. (May 11th frame delivered) in pieces not a pre frame factory made set up. (May 12th, frame is started.)

That afternoon we looked around and there was that rogue pipe, it was the laundries pipe that is now in the hallway and not in the laundry? I sent an email off about it that night and hopefully I am wrong and it is not the laundries waste pipe or the slab will have to be cut weakening the waffle slab design. The pipe is over 50 mill in diameter and the slab is only 85 mill thick, this means to put that pipe in, the steel in the slab had to have been cut through. Now I am quite annoyed again with this lot as it appears there were no checks done by this company on trades progress and outcomes so far, or their certifier is asleep at the wheel. The problem here is the slab has piers under it down to the sand stone to roughly half way back from the front, which makes sense; the front has more soil between the slab and the sandstone substrate making those piers essential. When the pore was going on, they used the concrete pump to force a lot of water out of the holes for the piers, not good. Okay, where the slab will be cut, if that pipe is in the wrong spot, which it is, this will put, though slight, an extra weakness right at the edge of the cut off point for those piers, of which is where I would estimate the slab with crack in the future, if it can! Once they fix this by cutting a path through the slab for this pipe to go into the laundry, which means a section of the steel in the slab is cut, a section of the waffle aspect of the slab is both gone from the slab and a semi weak patch is put in that spot!!! Things are not looking good, as has been so far for our build from near on day two!

(June 21 roof goes on.) not the roof we wanted that was said to be done in early June? Back a while, so I said just do it with steel, I want our home built, what a waste of time all this was!

(June 28th bricks and giprock delivered.)

(June 29th brickies start)

What did we get at the end of all this? We ended up paying thousands of dollars more for roof style we did not want making it so we have no mobile phone reception in our home at all, extra rent beyond what we had budgeted for due to the builder being incapable of delivering on the time frame that was said to us, which appears like it was never going to happen anyway. It certainly appears like this builder had been building, as an example only, say 10 homes a year and took on maybe many more due to money to be made during this boom. But he took them on with the same amount of trades materials and so on to only build 10 homes within the usual time frame, so it seems like the least money to be made homes or the homes with owners that did now know to get the start and finish date put into their contract, were pushed back or just ignored getting the others done. We got a home, of which I assume most any builder could achieve, but sadly for us, due to either a con job, or an inept builder that does not know his industry, or both, our home looks nothing like what we signed up for, or told we would get and paid for! We got our home in late September 2020, a single story yes, as we wanted, but it doesn’t look anything like what we were told we would get. During the first interview I said to the builder, as I am a carpenter and horticulturalist, are you sure you can do this in the time frame you say, he said yes. I was hopeful he knew what he was doing, he didn’t!!

FIRST TIME BUILDING A HOME – We were looking a purchasing an established home couldn’t find anything suitable. We talked about building but we’re both skeptical and had heard horror stories various people over the years . We phone Sharlene at CJ Builders and she talked us through the process and completely put our minds at ease . She also helped us get land in the estate we… Read more ·  1

wanted to build in . Right from that first phone call Sharlene was amazing . Always at the end of the phone if we had questions about anything - and we had alot of questions ! The build process was easy, we were informed all the way through as to what was happening and were things were at . CJ Builders fixed price is FIXED price. We had no surprise invoices or extra costs . We also liked the fact that Jyri, the owner of CJ Builders is out and about interacting with clients and tradies not sitting behind a desk in a fancy office . He is a down to earth and a straight up honest bloke. If we build again we will definately be using CJ Homes . Thank you to everyone at CJ Homes for helping us build our home. Jason & Mel

First home built. Amazing – We were looking to buy existing home in suburb of our choice, but with the market condition at the time it was beyond reach. We contact Peter from CJ Homes, one of many that we tried and was offering to find us a land and build in surroundings suburb. From initial consultation and walk trough inside the Griffin display, Peter was very open about… Read more ·  1

the steps involved and what we are getting if we build with CJ Homes. He even showed us the finished house so we could see for ourselves the building quality of CJ Homes.

The office staffs were helpful from the start. Coleen and Lynnette make the administration part a breeze. Jodi assistance in color appointments makes it a fantastic part of the process.

Marty, our construction supervisor, and his team keep the progress going and inline with the schedule even with all the challenges they had. They take the time and make sure the craftsmanship in the best quality.

Overall our experience with CJ Homes was amazing and we definitely recommend them to anyone who would like to build their home. We really love our house and glad we build with CJ Homes.

1st investment build - experience with CJ Homes – My CJ Homes rep: Ellie Morgan I initially was looking to buy existing house in QLD Brissy, new to the QLD market. Ellie provided me with honest feedback and prompt service for an alternate option - to build which I didn't think of at the time, as build costs in QLD is far cheaper than other states. Only started researching the heated Brissy… Read more ·  1

market for 3 wks (felt like 3 yrs) - heated market now for existing homes $900 or a mill min and super competitive. I have built before and the process can be challenging, so far up to drawings stage and my experience has been exceptional to-date. My experience: * Prompt replies to all my 20 questions, even after hours. * Provide honest feedback to things you actually need (for me was an investment prop), instead of giving a marketing pitch and "nek-minute" one can easily overspend. * Extremely accommodating to your changes, what will add value long term and not. * Just deep-down nice people to deal with. * Building can be stressful, having the assurance your asset is in good hands is reassuring.

That's all folks...sit back, grab some popcorn, from "little things big things grow". "Live simplii"

T (yes I am a real person not a bot or marketing lad just ask Ellie)

Knock down rebuild x 2 – I contacted CJ Homes as I needed my home knocked down that was originally built across two titles and to rebuild two new homes on each title. The land was on a very large slopping block which I was concerned about. I needed two four bedroom homes on each block and I needed them to be a full turn key package. CJ homes were happy to build on the… Read more ·  1

slopping block and were able to do full turn key homes. The only thing that was difficult for me was that I live in Melbourne and my homes were in Queensland so I really needed a good contact there to help me through the two builds and was very fortunate that Lisa was working for CJ Homes as she was fantastic.

I would have loved CJ to have been able to organize the knock down however I was able to do this outside of the build.

The workmanship and build quality was quite good when I was able to fly up and inspect for hand over and was as per what I expected.

I had a lot of issues not with CJ Homes however with council and driveways. CJ were able to assist me through all of this and were able to ensure I was guided to the correct companies to get this all sorted.

I had only a few variations so my costs on the builds were as I expected other than the extra costs with council & relevant were.

I would certainly build again with CJ Homes.

CJ Homes Review – They have been transparent, upfront, and punctual with their replies from the start when we walked through their display home and all the way through. They have made our first home build so streamline and minimised any variables on their end to reduce any uncertainty. Clarified any other concerns about the contracts to sign, the stages of what… Read more ·  1

is to come and expect.

The sales person we dealt with was very knowledgeable and helped guide us with the design we required within our proposed budget and a real genuine bloke.

The Colour selection meeting was meet with professionalism and with great detail on the consultants behalf. She acted on what vision we had and guided us towards that direction and was forthcoming which you need. Especially if this isn't something you do all the time, and her guidance made the selection a breeze.

For the general staff they have been very prompt with their replies, transparent, and forthcoming on time frames due to the current building industry and the strain it is under at these COVID times.

I will have found our builders for our next house/s and I hope this review helps you make the right decision :)

Fantastic! – We have just had handover of our new home built by CJ Homes. We are in love with our new home and couldn't be happier. We have had a great experience with the whole team. Peter at the start was very informative and helpful with explaining the process. Being first time owners and builders this was all a new experience for us. We then were handed… Read more ·  1

over to Colleen during the building process and she was fantastic. Very responsive and answered any questions that we have and any queries we raised were quickly addressed. Marty our build supervisor was brilliant. Great to deal with and addressed any PCI items quickly and communicated well with us on any updates etc. The quality of the build is outstanding. Our family members have also commented on the craftsmanship and quality of the home and products used etc. Overall, a fantastic experience and would not hesitate to recommend them to everyone. You wont regret it!!!

Great from start to finish! – We found building with CJ to be a dream. We were recommended by friends and right from the start they worked with us and not just told us. They were extremely diligent and professional throughout the whole build. We are extremely happy with the end product provided and strongly recommend speaking to the CJ sales team if you are in the market to build!  Show details ·  1

Really happy with CJ Homes, they're the best! – As many of you reading this we also found CJ Homes via advertising in Domain, with those calling eyes titles "Fixed Price, NO HIDING FEES", and guess what? They ain't lying! I paid what was in the ad nothing more. Our journey towards our first home was as below: We booked an appointment with Peter at the display home and from beginning he… Read more ·  1

provided us with all information we needed, as clear and honest a good professional can do. We got so confident and excited that we didn't even went look elsewhere, 2 weeks later we signed the contract and got our financial broker involved in the process for approval.

"Colour selection" - This service provided was 5 stars! Abbey helped us to decide everything about floor plans, design and upgrades. She was positive and honest, if she seen something didn't go well designwise she would make sure we had proper alternatives.

Construction phases Slabs, Frames were way faster than what we anticipated. Impressive!

Next phase " ENCLOSED Stage" - As inexperienced as I am they were able to manage my concerns and anxiety, both Peter (yes he was still around, he doesn't want just sell it to you, but help) always replied emails or texts and patiently helped us a lot. Then there was Colleen - the Contract administrator (she is the best!), always helpful and provided prompt responses to any requests and building process.

Next phase "FIXING Stage" - During this stage we met Marty - building administrator. Marty is a legit guy, always helpful, in fact Marty truly reflects what mateship is about.

Next phase "PRACTICAL COMPLETION"- Too easy! Marty has such attention to details (things we didn't even noticed, he pointed out to fix). We're still in contact and he made it sure that if I find anything defect in the property he will make sure proper repair is done. That's because CJ Homes offers a post completion repair services to any defect.

To sum up, people often say "building is too much stress, best buy something already built" well, they clearly haven't met CJ Homes crew, that's what I have to say.

Now we are a happy home owner family thanks to all CJ Homes family.

Amazing – It all started with the sales person "peter". Can highly recommend speaking with him at the sales display in griffin. As first home buyers we were lost with the complexity of building a home, which other companies did not offer guidance at all. However CJ Homes and peter explained every detail easily and Drew up a house plan suited for us and our… Read more

block. They were flexible on making changes, and went above and beyond ensuring we got the best outcome. Any time we had a question they answered the phone and got back to us quickly. And to top it all off our house was built in 3 months! right in time for our end of lease.

5/5 would recommend

We highly recommend Cj homes to every one – We have nothing but good praises with this builder. As first time home buyers we had no clue how to get our own property and got hustled by a big builder on our intial attempt, We nearly gave up on getting our own property, but luckily enough We ran into cj homes and Peter really helped us a lot to get into our first house. We loved his honesty… Read more

and transparency and also his flexibility when we wanted some changes into our floor plan. We wanna give our shout out to the whole team too, they were so approachable and proffesional that made our build so smooth and stress free. And our site supervisor Marty is a top bloke. He is so approachable and works with you all through out the build and even after the handover.

Cj homes - Highly recommended. Thanks once again and We are very happy that we choose the right builder this time.

Great building experience and maintenance!!! – It's been 16 months since we built our first home at Spring Mountain QLD with CJ Homes and the experienced that we had, building, progress and follow up maintenance are outstanding and very well said and done. CJ Homes staff and contractor are very professional in dealing with our contract, requests and concerns. They build as per contract, even… Read more

in a small details, they'll address it professionally and always keep you updated! They will discuss with you, according to your specifications to build your dream home not like other builder in which you don't have any choice but to follow what you've been told. Their pricing are lower than the well known builders but same quality of workmanship. Thank you very much to Lia (sales agent), Darren (site supervisor), Dale (maintenance supervisor) and Mandie for helping us and making our building and maintenance experience less stress as possible!!! Definitely will choose CJ Homes and build with them again!

Great first building experience – It has almost been a year since moving into my new home built by CJ Homes and as a first time homeowner/builder the process could not have been easier or more stress free. The team at CJ Homes are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and super approachable. Peter, the sales consultant, had been more than helpful during the building process… Read more

from start to finish. Just on first meeting it was apparent that Peter is an expert in the industry with years of knowledgeable experience. He has the customers interest at heart and had given me helpful advice and suggestions that I had not considered at the time which I am now grateful for. He was more than happy to answer any questions I had as well as assist with any changes to the floor plan that I had wanted. Peter has gone above and beyond to assist me with my needs I cannot thank Peter enough.

Kerri, the colour consultant, is also an expert in her field. Kerri had been very patient throughout my indecisiveness. With her expert advice and experience we were able to assemble a colour scheme that I am more than happy with.

Once the house was finished any minor defects or imperfections that I had found had all been dealt with in a timely manner. All in all, I am highly satisfied with the workmanship and build quality of my new home.

Thank you also to all the staff at CJ Homes who has made my first home building experience a positive one. I could not recommend CJ Homes highly enough to anyone who is thinking of potentially building. I would not hesitate to build with CJ Homes again in the future.

Thankyou CJ for building our first home, very happy with the result.

Many thanks CJ homes

Would not recommend – Spent $1,500 on a custom design. Got down to the final stages of changes and was told it would be up to a two week delay.. 3 weeks went by so we emailed for an update, our email was ignored, emailed again and was told by the end of the week.. end of the week comes and still no word, emailed again and asked for an update and was told that they… Read more

will get back to be with a date the following day... 6 weeks later still had not heard anything! emailed for a refund or for our design to be signed over as they were, so we could move on with another building company who doesn't ignore us and also treats us more like people who are spending $385,000 with them and not $50,000 like CJ Homes. We have tried to be nice about this situation- no help was offered. They wont sign over the design or even offer a partial refund. Did not even get an apology for the ignored emails and the wait time. Waste of $1,500 and would never recommend.

***Also have email proof of being ignored and getting put off for 6 weeks***

Not just another builder – When we first walked into a CJ Homes display home, we were scared, stressed and had no idea what we were doing. We had previously been promised ‘no or low deposit homes’ so we thought a display home would be well out of the ball park - but we kept looking anyway. We walked in each room that was set up like a catalogue and looked very simple yet… Read more

elegant. As we were leaving we were greeted by the sales consultant, Peter, who engaged in conversation asking us questions we really didn’t know the answers to. Within about 15 mins he was walking us through the display home showing us every little detail explaining what is standard and what is an upgrade, he then gave us paperwork about building which explained the process involved. Peter spoke to us about the land options available in our region and really listened to our needs and explained the custom design options. We walked out feeling much more comfortable, a lot less stressed and excited to know what building involves. We were surprised at how affordable this build could be - our dream to be home owners could come true a lot sooner. Almost 12 months later and we are now in our brand new home built by CJ Homes. We could not be happier. We have to make a special mention to Peter and Lisa who were always happy to answer questions and reassure us of the journey we were on. We found everyone we dealt with at CJ Homes professional, transparent and genuine. We are so happy with the quality of our new, custom built home and would build with CJ Homes again, with no hesitation.

Thanks CJ Homes.

Another happy client – It has been a few months since we moved in to our new home built by CJ Homes. In the early stage, the house plan they drafted was spot on, the only major thing we had to change was taking out a wall. We added minor adjustments on the plan and happy that they managed to keep them within our budget. The sales consultant is an expert in the… Read more

industry and he gave us helpful advices and suggestions and also things to expect during the construction process - this was great, since everything is pretty new for us.

Our meeting with the colour consultant was very detailed. We spent most morning picking combination of colours that we like and with her expertise, she managed to matched them with the others perfectly.

We also met with the team on the field and the staff in the office and they were really welcoming, informative and helpful in answering our queries.

Our dream home was built in approximately less than 3 months. Wow! Very happy with that timeframe

Since then, we only had couple minor things that needed to be patched. For this, their process is simple, I simply let them know and we agreed on a date for them to come to our place – thanks guys for dropping by outside your normal working hours to simply replace a light bulb.

Overall, everything went smoothly. A very BIG thank you to everyone who took part in the project and helped us built our dream home.

We definitely would recommend CJ Homes to anyone thinking of building their new home.

Perfect for the First Home Buyer – When you say you are building a house people like to share with you their own personal horror stories of things gone terribly wrong. This left us feeling rightfully anxious about the thought of building our own first home. However, for us this scenario could not have been further from the truth! Building with CJ homes has been a stress-free… Read more

exercise from start to finish. The staff are professional, friendly, knowledgeable and have been nothing but supportive throughout every aspect of our build. All facets of the project ran smoothly and our house and land package was complete in just 12 weeks. We are entirely satisfied with the level of workmanship and quality of the build and now have a house that we are proud to show off to our family and friends. We cannot recommend CJ homes highly enough to prospective home builders. Thank you to Jyri, Peter, Nigel and all the CJ homes staff for making our home owning dreams a reality. Rachel and Ross
