Complying Development Approval

Now that you have made the decision to build with Jandson Homes, the next step is simple.

Your Sales Consultant will assist you in organising the payment of a commencement fee. To help you select the materials and colours for your new home, they will also provide you with a personalised colour pack.

At Jandson, we firmly believe that strong communication with a prompt response system is the key to a positive home building experience. As such, soon after paying your commencement fee you will receive a letter from our Head Office introducing your own point of contact for any queries that you may have throughout the process.

You have elected to utilise the Complying Development Application process. This is different from the standard development application (which is processed through the local Council). Jandson Homes provide the services of a fully qualified Certifying Authority to obtain approval for a C.D.C. application and even though the actual approval time is shorter, the preparation of the lodgement takes longer than a standard application. This is due to the increased amount of documentation that has to be provided with the initial lodgement.

Milestone 1 – PLAN PREPARATION

WEEK 1-6

The pre-construction process commences with the ordering of the following documentation:

Contour Survey of your site to Complying Development Application requirements
Bore Hole Test – (to determine the type of slab that will be required)
Current 149 Certificate (this is a full zoning certificate issued by Council)
Demolition quote (if applicable)

On receipt of these details Jandson prepares a full set of working plans in readiness for your approval. We also order the additional information that is required as part of the application.

Nathers and Basix Certificates (energy and water ratings)
Hydraulic Engineering Details (drainage of stormwater)
Bushfire reports
Engineering details
Waterboard approval
Fee and bond payments (if required)

** Please note that not all of these reports will be required for every application.

During this period, we will contact you regularly to obtain any information or detail that we require to move your development through each phase as quickly as possible. We are also always available to answer any queries you may have.

Milestone 2 – LODGEMENT OF COMPLYING DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE APPLICATION

We will let you know when the Application has been lodged with our Certifiers and keep you updated on its progress on a regular basis.

This is also the time for you to make an internal Colour Selection Appointment with our Colour Consultants.

WEEK 7-10

A brief outline of the Complying Development Application process is as follows:

Application lodged with the Certifiers

Initial check of zoning details completed.
Certifiers check that all documentation is correct
Site visit completed
Assessment commences
Certifiers will liaise with Jandson if they require further detail or clarification.
Approval is released.

While the Certifiers are the processing the application it is important that you are finalising the following details. This allows us to make a prompt move into the contract and construction stage once we receive formal Approval.

Colour Selection appointment completed/finalised and signed off
All variations generated from the Colour Appointment signed off and returned to Head Office.
If utilising a Lender to fund the project, obtain loan approval and confirm Lender requirements to finalise the loan. (Please send a copy of this approval to Jandson’s Head Office)
Confirm arrangements with your Demolisher (if required) on approximate commencement times.
Start investigating rental properties (if required).

Milestone 3 – ISSUE OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Once we receive approval from our Certifiers, it will be checked and a copy sent to you for your information.

Jandson will then organise the following detail in order to prepare for moving your file into the Construction Department in readiness for building to commence.

Prepare and Issue Contract documents to you for sign off and return.
Order Home Owner’s Warranty Insurance.
Organise an Estimating file, so that the ordering process can commence for all the materials for your new home.
Provide you with a copy of any documentation that your Lender may require.

Milestone 4 – CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

I felt the absolute need to write a review about Jandson homes, you often hear only the horror stories about new home builders in this day and age. I cannot thank the Jandson team as a whole enough, from the moment we walked into the display home at Edmonson park, the omega 29 struck us as something we felt was a ''home'', from the start we spoke to Pat we already felt at ease and confident with our choice of builder, as the progression of our home went on we met more and more capable and professional staff. They were all simply a pleasure to deal with. we have been living in our house now for 9 months and we love where we live. Jandson has a 6 months home warranty which we found to be very different to the standard 3 month, our defects were an absolute minimum I felt, they were all fixed quickly and to a high standard. During the actual build we were always kept up to date with the progress and always contacted if there were little problems. (it is the building trade there will always be little problems pop up along the way). To be put simply me and my wife are very thankful to Jandson homes for making the whole process easy and more importantly enjoyable. I will forever recommend Jandson homes to anybody who wants to listen, I look forward to keeping in touch with the Staff at Jandson and am more than happy to share our experience with anyone. We love our home Jandson. Thank you. Just as you supported us, we will support you in the future. Source: Google Reviews.

We bought our land from Jandson with a lot of help and support. Not only that, from the beginning to construction stage, we went through well presented consultation with the team. Cannot wait for the completion! Highly recommended. Source: Google Reviews

I’m a first home buyer, and we’ve been dealt a huge blow when dealing with Willoughby homes who become bankrupt and we lost our deposit, first home builder grant and a precious time. 18 months past, with prices went up by over 25% we found it hard to find a builder who were willing to build our home to the budget of 2020. This is when we came across Julia Hoang and Sarah from Jandson Homes in Leppington. We were blown away by Julie’s great attitude and willingness to help. She is amazing, she tried to turn every stone possible in order to get us to the price we could afford. Julie came up with few very useful suggestions that we gladly took on board. Although, unfortunately, we selected another builder, however, I am eternally grateful for all Julie’s help she provided. I have no hesitation in recommending Julie to any potential customer, whether new or experienced in building. I can assure that if we will be building our next home, Jandson Homes and Julie in particular will be in the top of our considerations. Thanks again 😊 Source: Google Reviews

We have bought land and house package from Julie Hoang at Jandson Home. She has helped us a lot and provided good advice on how to re-allocate kitchen island and walk-in pantry to maximise the space. We opted to extend the house plans and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Source: Google Reviews.

My third daughter purchased a house and land package from Jandson Homes. The construction is still on-going. From the beginning we felt very comfortable with Julie Hoang. She provided excellent service which motivated my first daughter to buy a house and land package from Jandson Homes also. The construction has just started. A few weeks later, my second daughter purchased an off-the plan house and land package - still from Jandson Homes. Julie Hoang is indeed very approachable and she answers our queries even at night time. Source: Google Reviews

We met Julie when we came to their display homes. Our first impressions of her are, approachable, sensible, fair and helpful. We found the process approach taken by Julie and Jandson is more customer centric than most other builders. They allow the house design to be changed without costing us arms and legs, only material cost differences will be calculated. Julie went extra miles for us in helping clarify several things and negotiate with the previous land owner. There were some uncertainties on our part during the financial settlement but Julie and Karen were flexible enough to go through it with us. Rob, the site Supervisor was very approachable, helpful and informative too. We came almost every weekend when the house was built and it was very satisfying. The issues we raised were quickly addressed and handover was done smoothly. The only thing that we think could be improved is inclusion of extra soil removal and basic site preps for landscape works, these bit us with unbudgeted costs. We have been living in the house for over a year now. Yes, minor issues were found, but overall, we love it, the quality of the works and materials are good. Maintenance team are also helpful. We also learnt that most people who work in Jandson have been with the business for a very long time. Well done Jandson for building such a strong team. Will definitely build with you and team again for our next one. Source: Product Review

So great experience with my Jandson Homes for my first dream home in Bingara Gorge Wilton. Great start after the land settlement. Excellent customer service from sale team, support team and construction team. Very accurate notice for every step since I bought the land and building package. Very supportive helpful and effective for me as a beginner for building a house by self. Appreciate Jandson Homes. I will build my future dream homes with Jandson Homes again. Source: Product Review

We put down a deposit for an off the plan house with Jandson Homes through Julie Hoang in July 2020, and got the keys in March 2021. There were some delays in completion, but Julie was very helpful throughout the whole process and was always reachable by phone, even on her days off. Julie (and the other lady at the Edmondson Park office) was very patient in our conversations, and understood our concerns as first home buyers - we felt that she actually cared about what we wanted, rather than wanting to just sell us something. The admin team at the head office were also very helpful (and flexible), and were especially patient when we were experiencing issues with the bank continually making errors. So far the house has been great, and the maintenance team have been responsive in performing repairs/touch ups on any minor defects that have been identified during the "warranty" period. If there is a Jandson build that catches your eye, then i definitely recommend giving Julie Hoang a visit at the Edmondson Park sales office to start your journey. Source: Google Reviews

We have a very positive experience of having built our house with Jandson Homes. We had already had discussions with two other project home companies before coming across Jandsons. It soon became clear that our experience with Jandsons was going to be quite different and much more positive. Because we were residing overseas during the design and planning process, it was time-consuming on both sides. However, Pat Sullivan and Scott Forrester, the two main people with whom we had dealings, were consistently friendly, efficient and patient, getting back to us promptly with the initial drawings, re-drawings and so on, and taking on extended discussion sessions using Skype video. We asked for significant changes to the standard design to suit the site and our particular needs, and Pat and Scott willingly accommodated all our requests. When we got to the actual building stage, Jandson Homes managed the building efficiently and in a timely fashion. We also gained a lot from Pat’s assistance with the colour scheme and other details, and through her making sure we had good advice on insulation and climate-proofing issues. We feel we were really fortunate to find Jandson Homes, and we are very happy with both the final design and the quality of the building work. We are very appreciative of Jandson Homes for going so far out of their way to make sure we had what we wanted and for ensuring the success of the project. We are particularly grateful to Pat and Scott for their ongoing cooperation and help throughout the whole process. A big thank you to the builders, supervisors and other workers who were involved as well! Source: Google Reviews

Thank you for making our building experience stress free and enjoyable. It has been a pleasure dealing with both Evelyn and Peter as any concerns we have had were dealt with immediately with no fuss and in a very friendly manner. Once again thank you for a home we will be very proud to live in. We will certainly recommend Jandson to others.
