Very happy with my new build. Highly recommend
Built our first house with sjd and extremely happy with the build quality & finish. Color Selection experience was amazing as lot to choose from standard range. Even upgrades were at affordable price. Despite lockdown delays and material shortages our whole build process was very smooth. Huge thanks to Rachel and kyle. Will build with SJD again. Highly recommend.

Love my first home!
I have just finished building my first home with SJD and love how it has turned out! A huge thank you to Mark and James for answering all my question so quickly and ensuring the whole process ran smoothly. They kept me updated on all stages of the build and made sure that the final touches were perfect before handover. I can’t thank SJD enough and highly recommend them!

You won’t be getting what you’ve seen at a display home from them.
Build a new home with them.
Never again what a chaos and we are not happy.
Display homes are beautiful, don’t expect to get what you see and think you’ll be buying that.
Contract states: owner shall not instruct or guide contractors from builder.
Several trades people been contacting us directly because they were given my number by the site manager because they couldn’t figure out what was happening.
Damages during build were not replaced but fixed, so why is the builder insured during a build?
Master bedroom window got damaged during install and is now fixed but dents and scratches still visible, spacers used to keep the awning window in position....
Thank you for the phone conversation earlier.
Sorry to hear that we are both, still on a completely different level of acceptance regarding quality....

Support throughout the entire process...
Received my keys a few days ago, and am so excited to move in! I have been well supported by SJD throughout the entire process, from picking the floor plan and adding features to make the house my own, through to construction. Very happy with the work of my site manager, Matt, keeping in regular communication with updates as well as delays or changes that effected my build during lockdown. Matt was very helpful, always taking the time to answer my queries along the way.
Now I have my keys, I still feel supported by SJD, that any questions will ...

Our beautiful new SJD home
Our recent build with SJD is one that I feel positive and happy about! If someone asked us what we thought of our build, I would smile and I’d only have positive words, as from start to finish the team were helpful, kind, supportive, honest and the build felt smooth (even with the lockdowns and supply shortages).
Our site supervisor Kim was hands down one of our favorite people to deal with - Nothing was ever a silly question, I was always reassured and things were always explained to me (even if I didn’t know all the building terms and lingo)....

SJD Second to none
SJD - the best on the market.
We went through so many builders and display homes that were so tiring and very confusing and then we came across SJD.
We met Kevin Pearson at one of the SJD displays and it was instantly clear to us that SJD was the one.
Kevin’s patience is second to none. His industry knowledge is invaluable. His help in developing our custom design house was outstanding. Kevin is a great listener and we always received genuine feedback. We appreciated that he spoke his mind and wasn't just telling us what he thought we wanted to...

The best experience building our first home!
From the moment we stepped into the Caversham display, we knew that this was the home we wanted to build, and the whole team at SJD Homes made the process so much easier.
From the administration side of things, Rosie was absolutely amazing! She kept in contact and updated us as much as possible.
Building a home in the midst of a pandemic was never going to be easy, but our supervisor Matt made it as easy as possible! And again, was absolutely amazing to deal with, communication was excellent and we couldn’t be any happier with the quality of our new home.
10/10 would recommend SJD Homes any day of the week!

Above and beyond!
The whole build process was a breeze, our build consultant Nathan designed exactly what we wanted.
Our site supervisor Matt, was amazing!
Matt definitely has an eye for detail.
As we built during lockdowns and unable to travel, Matt kept us in the loop of everything. Sending updates once a week, including photos.
We are extremely pleased with our new home and would highly recommend SJD HOMES. There attention to detail is amazing!

Fantastic from start to finish!
We have just received our keys for our new home and we couldn't be happier!
We were initially hesitant to build to build, worrying about the stress of the whole process but SJD has proved there was nothing to worry about.
From our initial meetings with sales consultants Rosie and Kev, they were more than happy to meet all our of our needs and change our plans accordingly.
Leah in our color selections was great with so much advise and super helpful afterwards with helping update selections.
Matt our site supervisor was 10/10, we can't thank him ...
