Quality You Can See –  Confidence You Can Trust

Peace of Mind, Built In

At SJD Homes, quality is built into every stage of the process. Each part of your home is checked by our team and verified by independent licensed professionals before the next stage begins.

While some builders do only what’s required, we add extra checks and independent oversight to make sure your home is finished to a consistently high standard.

  • Every stage checked by qualified and licensed professionals
  • Backed by independent, industry-recognised accreditation
  • All inspection reports available through your MyHome Portal

Our Quality Checks You Can Trust

We don’t rely on internal checks alone,  your home is reviewed by independent, licensed professionals at every key stage.


Independent Building Surveyor

Every home is reviewed by an independent licensed surveyor from Watershed Building Consultants, with all mandatory BPC inspections included.

iCIRT 4-Star Rating

A rare 4-Star iCIRT rating, confirming our capability, stability and compliance as assessed by an independent industry body.

Internal Quality Assurance

Each stage is checked by your Site Supervisor and reviewed again by a Construction Manager before work moves forward.


Random BPC Inspections

Our builds are also subject to independent audits by the Building & Plumbing Commission, providing another layer of oversight.

Considering a Private Inspector?

You are welcome to engage a private inspector during your build,  However, your SJD home already receives more inspections than legally required – checked by both independent surveyors and our internal team.

Before you do, understand these critical factors:


Qualifications Matter
  • Not all inspectors are properly registered
  • Watershed surveyors hold full licenses
  • We verify all credentials before site access
Insurance is Essential
  • Unregistered inspectors lack coverage
  • Leaves you unprotected if issues arise
  • We only allow fully insured inspectors
Delays & Duplication
  •  Multiple visits slow your schedule
  • Reports often repeat our checks
  • Can delay site progress by weeks

Administration Fee:  SJD charges a per-stage fee when a private inspector is brought on site. This covers coordination, report reviews, and supervision. Discuss with a Specialist before the site starts for proper coordination.
