22.01.2022 - 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. ... // FARRELL RENO // > Swipe to see ‘before’ @jessierigby_art @peter_berzanskis_photographer See more

18.01.2022 - 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, tim...eliness, quality and workmanship. // Tarrawarra Project // See more

13.01.2022 - COST PLUS CONTRACTS - Buckle up - this is an interesting and sometimes controversial topic.... : ... - 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 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 : - 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 be a good option in some circumstances but are not always a cheaper way of doing things - Know the cost of your project before engaging in a Cost Plus Contract!

12.01.2022 - END TO 2020 - The last working week of 2020 is here and we cannot wait to spend some much needed family time with our boy tribe.

09.01.2022 - SUMMER BREAK - Merry Christmas from the JD Team! Whilst this is a time to relax and unwind, for us it’s also a time to reflect on the year just gone and plan for the year ahead. Some of the critical questions we ask ourselves are: ... How can we further improve our customer service and sales experience? What coaches and/or resources can we engage with to continue learning, growing and improving? What measurable goals can we set for 2021? We have some super exciting projects in the pipeline for next year as well as a brand new team member coming onboard who we can’t wait to introduce you to! Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support. It doesn’t go unnoticed! @9bproductions // Tarrawarra Project // See more

09.01.2022 - 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 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! See more
