    JDR recently completed our build and I couldn’t be happier with their service throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Josh was incredibly helpful and transparent especially when I was still in the process of purchasing a block of land. He took the time to assess the suitability of the plan for the block and was upfront about pricing. A special shout-out to Cilla and Michael who were absolutely fantastic to deal with. Their communication, professionalism and attention to detail made the experience smooth and enjoyable. All trades involved did a fantastic job. The build was completed 3 months ahead of schedule, which is very rare in this industry! The selection process was also a breeze thanks to the vendors they partner with. Everyone was friendly, approachable and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to walk me through the various options and helping me make confident decisions. Overall, I had a great experience and would not hesitate to build with them again.

    From the moment we first walked into JDR Homes to talk toJosh, we felt like a valued customer not just a number. Josh, Cilla, Michael and the team were a delight to work with in building our dream home, here in Tasmania. We were well informed of all the costs from the very beginning, with no nasty surprises along the way and we were consulted throughout the whole journey. We have now moved into our beautiful home and could not be happier that we chose JDR Homes to build it. John and Toni Sutton.

    We are very happy that we chose JDR to build our new home. Josh, Cilla and Michael made the whole process very easy, with great communication and attention to detail. They were always helpful through all stages of the build, being extremely supportive as we changed some things along the way. We found their pricing was more than fair and they were very flexible in the selection process. Flexibility in the selections was a key to us through the build. The fact that they offered this flexibility was very important to us. Workmanship, fit and finish were all at exceptional levels and it was obvious to us that delivering a quality product is what JDR is all about. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering building a home. Lindsay and Sandy

    JDR team made our new home building process a smooth & an exciting project. From the first meeting with Josh, till the very end he went out of his way to make our new home just the way we wanted & in some aspects even better. Cilla has been a strength to us always. Her patience, efficient & timely service definitely makes her an asset to JDR team. Jono our project manager always aimed to give us the home that we pictured. His dedication to our project is truly admired. Our lovely new home is a product of the joint venture of JDR team and its contractors. Their hard work, advising on selections at all stages had made our dream home a reality. Thank you so much JDR homes.

    If you are in the market for a quality builder that is honest, give Josh and his team a call. We got beyond mucked around with another builder in the area and got into contact with JDR homes and it has been a pleasure working in with them. Their team are all very professional, build time was great and communication has been very good. We originally contacted them with a budget we had, and we were promised we could get what we wanted in the house and to their credit they held up to their end of everything. The inclusions in the house were amazing as well which has saved a lot of future headaches. We had a gentleman by the name of Sam managing our project and I honestly cannot fault him at all. He has a great attention for detail and is very good at his job. Our main contact was villa for any questions or bookings we had to do and she is probably up there with the most helpful human I have ever met. If you are in the market for a new home do yourself a favour and give them a quick call, it will save you time, money and you will end up with a better result. If I was to ever build again I would not even bother looking anywhere else. The last thing to add was that nothing has ever been a problem for them. They have always been accommodating to any hurdles we have faced a long the way. Well done JDR on completing our home and thank you for making this build such an easy process, I can’t recommend these guys enough

Frequently asked questions

How much do builders typically charge?
Builder costs vary widely depending on the job type and complexity. Minor repairs are generally much less than extensions, small builds or structural alterations that need foundations, framing or specialist input. Most quotes include a call‑out fee plus labour and materials, and the page shows live pricing to help you compare options.
Do builders charge call-out fees?
Call‑out fees are common and typically cover travel and an initial inspection or assessment. This fee is usually separate from hourly labour and materials, and after‑hours or weekend attendance often attracts higher rates. Ask whether a call‑out or minimum charge applies when requesting quotes.
Do builders need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Building work generally needs to be carried out by a licensed builder in every state and territory, and NSW builders are regulated by NSW Fair Trading. Builders should be able to provide their state builder/contractor licence number and show appropriate insurances and ABN/GST registration. In Victoria, domestic building insurance is required above a state threshold for certain contracts.
Does JDR Homes have a verified ABN?
Yes. JDR Homes has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
