⁣
Beyond those trees are views of Mount Macedon that will warm the heart all year round. ⁣
⁣
Your home should be your most favourite place in the world 💙⁣

- BUILDING QUOTES - ⁣
⁣
We are never bothered by clients who wish to get a secondary or third quote to build their home, in fact, we encourage it! ⁣
⁣
Getting multiple quotes will help you to have peace of mind that you’re preferred builder has quoted according to industry rates. It will also give you an insight into the processes and services of competing builders, no doubt exposing the stand-out builder for you 🙂 ⁣
⁣
The most important thing to remember when obtaining multiple building quotes is to ensure that you are comparing ‘apples with apples’. Make sure you understand what each quote does and doesn’t include! ⁣

- MACEDON RANGES BEAUTY - ⁣
⁣
It’s no wonder we love building luxury homes in the Macedon Ranges. No matter the weather, these views are always stunning! ⁣
⁣
The Grange project was designed to capture the views of the mount from the main living and entertaining areas. ⁣
⁣
These lovely clients created their own little oasis, a place they love more than any other. ⁣

- GRAND ENTRANCE - ⁣
⁣
One aspect we always focus on is helping our clients achieve a beautiful entrance to their home. Your home should feel warm and welcoming from the moment you step through the front door. ⁣

- ENGAGING A BUILDER - ⁣ ⁣ At what stage shoul

- ENGAGING A BUILDER - ⁣
⁣
At what stage should you get a Builder involved? ⁣
⁣
So often we meet with clients who have spent 18 months or more working with an Architect or Draftsman to design their dream home. ⁣
⁣
The problem is that either 1 of 2 things has happened: ⁣
- The clients budget was never discussed ⁣
OR ⁣
⁣
- The clients budget 𝘄𝗮𝘀 discussed but the Architect or Draftsman didn’t have a full understanding of the cost to build (and neither should they, it’s not their job) ⁣
⁣
So the client then approaches a Builder, only to find out that their goals do not in fact match their budget..... instantly broken-hearted. ⁣
⁣
The best time to get a Builder involved is right at the beginning. A good Registered Building Practitioner should be able to help guide you and give you an understanding of the true cost to build your project. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be left broken-hearted!

- OUR CLIENTS ARE FAMILY - ⁣
⁣
Building for Amanda & Chris was an absolute pleasure. This young, hard-working couple were in need of a Builder whom they could trust to not only bring their home to life, but to hold their hand through the preliminary process of building. ⁣
⁣
We assisted them from design right through to construction and the final product was nothing short of beautiful. Not only was the project within their budget but it also ticked all the boxes for style, timeliness, quality and workmanship. ⁣

- COST PLUS CONTRACTS - ⁣
⁣
Buckle up - this is an interesting and sometimes controversial topic.... ⁣
⁣
𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁: ⁣
- Price of contract is fixed with some provisional sum and prime cost items ⁣
- Payments are made at set progress stages by the bank/ client directly to the builder ⁣
- Any changes or unforeseen costs are processed as a Variation ⁣
⁣
𝗖𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗹𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁: ⁣
- Cost of the project is an estimate although a good builder should accurately quote the works ⁣
- A ‘builders fee’ is determined and paid to the builder at set progress stages ⁣
- All other invoices from trades and suppliers are to be paid directly by the client ⁣
- If the cost of the projects blows out, too bad so sad, the client is liable for the bills ⁣
⁣
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀: ⁣
- A Cost Plus Contract is illegal in Victoria for any project estimated to cost under 1 Million dollars. Despite this, some builders will still offer this type of contract ⁣
- Banks do not like Cost Plus Contracts and will often reject them. These contracts are best suited to clients who do not need finance ⁣
- Builders who lack integrity will trap clients by low-balling the estimated cost of works in order to win the project. This results in unforeseen costs and unhappy clients ⁣
- Cost Plus Contracts 𝗰𝗮𝗻 be a good option in some circumstances but are not always a cheaper way of doing things ⁣
- Know the 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 cost of your project before engaging in a Cost Plus Contract!

- YOU ARE THE HERO - ⁣
⁣
The team at Jackson Dwellings believe that the real hero of any project is the client and the home. We are simply there as a guide to make the dream happen. ⁣
⁣
This little home already had all the bones and walls that told stories of love and happiness. We simply assisted this family in improving what they already had and giving them a space to enjoy and be proud of. ⁣

- HOW FAR WILL WE TRAVEL? - ⁣
⁣
Jackson Dwellings is based in the beautiful Macedon Ranges. We are happy to travel up to an hour from Gisborne for large projects. ⁣
⁣
The reason why we don’t like to go any further is because we don’t want to jeopardise our quality and supervision of a project. ⁣
⁣
When projects are too far away it can be difficult to get our trusted trades to travel and harder to be on site several times a week to keep a close eye. ⁣
⁣
Not only do we limit our service area, but we also put a cap on the number of projects running at any one time. This is because we are all about ‘quality’ not ‘quantity’. We believe your project deserves 100% of our attention and workmanship. ⁣

⁣
Matty has done his entire apprenticeship with Jackson Dwellings. In the coming months he will begin to incorporate some Construction Management into his role. ⁣
⁣
Matty is never shy of a good (or terrible) joke to bring a bit of laughter to the job site. He is team Triple J all the way and he lives for the weekends with his mates and a beer in the sun. 🌞🍺

- TURN-KEY BUILDER - ⁣
⁣
The term ‘Turn-Key’ is used a lot in the building industry but what exactly does this mean? ⁣
⁣
‘Turn-Key’ refers to a complete build from start to finish meaning that when you are handed your new home, it is completely finished and ready to be occupied with no further works to be completed. ⁣
⁣
You may be wondering what sort of project would be handed over unfinished, but in actual fact, many builders get enquiries from clients who just want to engage a registered building practitioner up until lock-up stage or similar. ⁣
⁣
Is Jackson Dwellings a ‘Turn-Key’ building company? Absolutely! ⁣
