Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a single storey home build take?
Most SJD single-storey builds run about 7–11 months from contract to keys, depending on your site, chosen house type, and approvals in the building process, your path to a dream home.
Typical breakdown
- Pre-site & approvals: siting, soil test, engineering, energy report, colour/electrical selections, developer approval, building permit, finance.
- Construction: base, frame, lock-up, fix, completion and quality checks.
- Post-handover care: maintenance check and any agreed touch-ups.
What can move the timeline
Site conditions (soil, slope, access), house size, façade complexity, variations, weather, council/developer turnaround and holiday shutdowns. We’ll keep you updated on timelines throughout your build.
How much does a single-storey house cost to build?
An SJD Homes single storey new house starts from approximately $184,900 (base price, Haven range), final price depends on design, inclusions and site costs.
What suburbs do SJD Homes build in?
We build across South East Victoria. If you’re in Melbourne’s south-east growth corridors or nearby regional areas, you’re likely in range. Share your address or postcode and we’ll confirm coverage and siting in minutes.
Can I customise the single storey home plan or additional features?
Yes, SJD Homes lets you tailor single-storey designs to suit. Common tweaks include mirror-reversing the plan, shifting or resizing rooms, adding accessibility features and acoustic upgrades for theatres or bedrooms.
Larger structural changes may affect cost, engineering, approvals and timeline.
Are display features standard or upgrades? Can I get the same look?
Display homes mix standard inclusions with paid upgrades (think stone benchtops, 2740 mm ceilings, feature tiling, premium tapware, landscaping).
Your base price covers the Standard Inclusions; anything extra is itemised as an upgrade.
You can absolutely replicate the display look, your sales consultant will mark to see what’s standard vs upgrade, price the options you choose, and include them in your contract.
Tip: ask for the display spec sheet and prioritise must-haves to stay on budget.
How will I be kept informed during the build?
You’ll have a Site Supervisor (on-site) and a Building Consultant (office). Expect milestone updates at slab, frame, lock-up, fix and handover; all variations are confirmed in writing.
