- TEAM WORK - ⁣ ⁣ One of our biggest values he

- TEAM WORK - ⁣⁣One of our biggest values here at JD is ‘inclusiveness’. This applies not just to our team, where every member is valued for their individual skills and ideas, but also to our clients who we believe should be included, involved and informed every step of the way......⁣⁣⁣.......and ‘having fun’. Because if you have to work, you may as well have fun doing it👌⁣⁣P.S We miss you ⁣Freo! ⁣

- ASSET PROTECTION PERMITS - ⁣ ⁣ Most resident

- ASSET PROTECTION PERMITS - ⁣⁣Most residential construction sites will require an Asset Protection Permit to be issued by the local council body. ⁣⁣This permit consists of a bond which is designed to minimise damage to council owned assets such as footpaths, roads, drains and signs. ⁣⁣At the completion of construction, a member of council will inspect the site. If there is no visible damage to any council assets, the bond will be refunded. ⁣⁣The fee for an Asset Protection Permit is included in your preliminary site costs. This amount varies from shire to shire.

- NEUTRAL PALETTE - ⁣ ⁣ Keeping your material

- NEUTRAL PALETTE - ⁣⁣Keeping your material colours neutral and subtle can ensure that the area won’t date or go out of fashion. It’s also a good strategy for re-sale as your home will appeal to a larger range of buyers. ⁣⁣We often advise our clients to keep their palette neutral and then add personality through decor and styling. ⁣⁣In saying this, it’s always fun when clients make bold choices that are different and unique. ⁣⁣// MONAGHAN RENO //⁣⁣

- POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS - ⁣ ⁣ ▪️ Polish

- POLISHED CONCRETE FLOORS - ⁣⁣▪️ Polished concrete floors are the perfect addition to a modern or industrial style home ⁣⁣▪️ There is quite a large price difference between polished concrete floors and standard floors ⁣⁣▪️ Polished concrete floors WILL crack and there is little that can be done about it. Decide whether or not you like this look ⁣⁣// WALLABY PROJECT // ⁣⁣

- COMPARING QUOTES - ⁣ ⁣ We often tell our cli

- COMPARING QUOTES - ⁣⁣We often tell our clients that it’s a good idea to get several building quotes. Doing this will expose the company with the best customer service and give you confidence that your builder is priced competitively. ⁣⁣There are a few things to remember when comparing quotes from builders: ⁣⁣1. Make sure the inclusions and exclusions are the same. Are you comparing ‘apples with apples’? ⁣⁣2. Is the price fixed or will there be variations along the way? The cheapest price is often not the best option. ⁣⁣3. Are you choosing a builder with a great reputation and quality product? Speak to people who have had experience with the companies in question. ⁣⁣4. What is the build timeframe? Quickest is not always best. A home built in 4 months will rarely be as high quality as a home built in 10 months. ⁣⁣5. Don’t banish the builder who took the time to educate you on building costs because you feel silly. They will welcome you back with open arms. ⁣⁣6. What was your gut feeling when you met with the builder? Did you like them? Did you trust them? Your gut is always right! ⁣⁣Happy shopping 👌

- PRIVATE BUILDING INSPECTORS - ⁣⁣From time-to-time we have clients who wish to engage a private building inspector to oversee the works on their project. This is completely welcomed by our team and we make our clients feel totally comfortable in doing this. ⁣⁣At Jackson Dwellings, we support anything that gives you peace of mind. If engaging a private building inspector helps you to have confidence and faith in our work then we say go for it! ⁣

- FRENCH PROVINCIAL -⁣⁣French Provincial fittings and fixtures are the perfect addition to any Hamptons style home. ⁣⁣This beautiful client had a specific vision for her bathroom mirrors. She hunted high and low and when the perfect ones were found, she supplied them to the Jackson Dwellings team just in time for install 🙂 They added a great ‘wow’ factor and personal touch to these gorgeous Hamptons bathrooms.

- OWNER SUPPLYING MATERIALS - ⁣ ⁣ We often get

- OWNER SUPPLYING MATERIALS - ⁣⁣We often get asked by clients whether or not it is okay for them to leave materials out of the contract and supply them during the build. In some cases this can be allowed, however there are 2 very important points that we make clear: ⁣⁣1. Materials that are excluded from the contract and supplied by the client will NOT be warranted by the Builder for any manufacturing defects. Installation will be warranted only. ⁣⁣2. If you decide to pre-purchase items or source items yourself because you have good connections, we cannot allow for these expenses in the contract and then simply give you the money back. ⁣⁣A building company runs like any other business. We must make purchases in our name in order to claim them as an expense for tax purposes. Be sure to have this conversation with your Builder if you are considering purchasing your own materials. 👌

- BUILDING QUOTES - ⁣ ⁣ We are never bothered

- 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. ⁣⁣// Tarrawarra Project //

- 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. ⁣⁣// Tarrawarra Project //

- 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!
