Common questions
What areas do you build in?
We work across Melbourne’s North East, including Diamond Creek, Greensborough, Eltham, Plenty and Watsonia, and take on selected projects in suburbs further in.
What kind of projects do you take on?
Custom homes, major renovations and extensions, from a single new living wing to a full new build. The enquiry form asks for a budget range so we can tell you early whether we are the right fit.
Do you work with my architect or designer?
Yes. Much of our work is architect or designer led. We can come in early to help resolve how the design will be built, or price and build a finished set of plans.
Can we stay living at home during the build?
Often, yes, particularly for extensions. We plan the stages so the house stays usable, keep the work area separated, and leave the site clean and safe at the end of each day.
Are you registered and insured?
Yes. JKD is a Registered Domestic Builder – Unlimited (CDB-U 101444). Domestic building insurance is taken out for every project that requires it, and the certificate is in your handover folder.
What happens after I send an enquiry?
We review your details and get in touch to talk through scope, timing and budget. If it is a good fit, we meet on site, look at the plans or ideas, and then prepare an itemised quote.
Discuss your project
We take on a small number of homes at a time, so each one gets our full attention. Tell us about yours and we’ll arrange a time to meet on site.
