Townhouse Builders in Sandringham with over 1200 happy residents around Victoria

Q: Is it worth it to buy a townhouse?

Overall, if you don't want the exterior maintenance that comes with home ownership, but you would still like the equity and wealth-building aspects of owning a home, buying a townhouse is worth it.

Q: Is townhouse good investment?

Yes, buying townhouses to rent comes with a wide range of advantages. Here are some of the benefits of owning a townhouse: Affordability – Townhouses are usually more affordable compared to single-family properties in the same location.Affordability – Townhouses are usually more affordable compared to single-family properties in the same location. This is because it is less expensive to build properties that are attached.Less maintenance – Since townhouses are located on small pieces of land, it is much easier to maintain both the interior and exterior spaces.More ownership – As mentioned earlier, you have ownership of the interior as well as the exterior of the investment property. This gives you more freedom to make changes to the exterior of your rental property.Strategic locations – Most townhouses are located in close proximity to major traffic routes and school zones. This makes them attractive to potential renters.

Q: How long does it take to build a 2 story house in Sandringham?

Custom-built homes average around nine months, while personalized production plans average near seven months. Because the floor plans used by production builders have been built many times before, there are generally fewer delays.

Q: How do you find a good Sandringham townhouse builder?

Ask about their background, experience and business stability. They should be able to provide specific examples of their previous work and references. Builders need to earn your confidence; how they act before they get the job tells you a lot about them.

From the conceptual start of our vision to our impeccably finished family home, Jeff and his team at MJS have been an absolute delight to deal with. The quality of the finish far exceeded our highest expectations. Jeff was totally invested in our build right from the start, the professionalism and care never wavered throughout the build. He wasn’t just out to get the contract but was genuinely interested in delivering what he promised, with exceptionally high quality workmanship. Jeff and his team take pride in their work. The project was finished punctually despite its complexity and on budget with all variations costed very fairly and transparently.

The communication about what was happening and the schedule ahead was always clearly explained. All queries were always promptly addressed, nothing was ever left hanging. The tradesmen were respectful at all times, not just to us but to our neighbours as well. The work site was always impeccably tidy.

Jeff is a reliable, honest and highly detailed driven builder who delivered for us an exceptionally well built and finished family home. We have full confidence in Jeff and his beautiful team and highly recommend him to be your builder. Thank you Jeff for your patience, care and expertise in delivering to us our wonderful family home. If we were ever to build again, we would love to have you once again.

After-sales experience

It has now been almost six months since we moved into our home. In addition to the amazing experience we had with MJS and the team throughout the build, Jeff still calls me most Wednesdays to make sure everything is going well.

Like all builds, there were a few minor fixes needed, and the MJS team were always on top of getting those little issues sorted quickly. They even happily repaired a few things we had accidentally damaged after moving in.

It is one thing to have an amazing experience during the build, but I am even more impressed by the level of service and care we received after handover. Jeff is exceptional, and he has built an incredible team that is clearly focused on making sure the entire experience is first class.

A special shout out to Jeff, Josh, Jessie, and all the other contractors — thank you so much.

Rahul Shastry

Outstanding experience building with MJS Construction Group. They brought our Cheltenham townhouses to life a lot earlier on time and to an incredibly high standard. Communication was clear and concise throughout, and their project management led by Jeff and his team was flawless.

Anyone who has built before or engaged trades for a Project in this part of the world is much aware of the stress and pitfalls that comes with it. Building with Jeff makes this build process immensely enjoyable and wanting to build again. That, is probably a great testament to him and his team’s approach to building.

If you are after a reliable builder who delivers premium results, look no further.

Billy Strintzos

I had an outstanding experience working with Jeff and the entire MJS team on completing our two townhouses. From start to finish, the project was handled with professionalism, reliability, and genuine quality care.

Jeff runs a tight, well-organised operation. His team was consistently on time, respectful of the schedule, and clearly committed to delivering high-quality workmanship.

Jeff kept me informed at every stage, was always responsive to questions, and made the process feel smooth and stress-free.

I recommend Jeff and MJS to anyone looking for a builder who delivers on time, maintains excellent quality, and communicates every step of the way.

Robert D'Angelo

Building our home with Jeff at MJS Construction Group was the best decision we could have made.

We recently completed our home in Oakleigh with Jeff and his team, and overall couldn’t be happier — right from initial meetings, through to tendering and then the build process itself. It was a perfect experience.

I approached Jeff after completing plans with another builder and from the onset he was as invested as we were - we contacted other builders in the area who were not interested for various reasons (a blessing in disguise). One thing that differentiated Jeff from the others was he was straight into the details to make our home a reality, no sales pitch, no nonsense, no bullshit gimmicks. Building a new home in today's environment can be daunting for many reasons, but never had we felt more comfortable. A lot of this comes down to the well-drilled process Jeff's team follows from project to project- everyone at MJS knows their role.

An example of this by was the level of detail in the documentation. Everything is discussed, documented, reviewed, signed-off - you know exactly what you are getting. That said, there was always opportunity to tweak along the way if required and Jeff never said no. When a problem surfaced Jeff always proposed and delivered a solution. One thing to note is if you build with MJS you have to be prepared to be committed and invested - don't expect to sign a contract and hear from them 40 weeks later like how volume builders operate. It's hands-on throughout.

Jeff was easily accessible through weekly calls, site meetings and constant correspondence. Phil (site manager) was fantastic too - always there and available to lend a hand. Jeff is on the ball all the time, he knows exactly what is happening each day right down to the finer details. He treats the build as if it's his own.

Our final result was a beautiful high-quality built home that exceeded our expectations in every way.

If you're looking for an honest, transparent and reliable builder that delivers a stress-free quality build, MJS are for you.

Thanks to Jeff, Danny, Phil, Dillon, Belinda and Rebecca.

Viveck Lamba

Building our knockdown-rebuild with MJS Construction Group was an experience defined by confidence, clarity, and genuine care. From the very beginning, it was clear we were partnering with a builder who values quality, respect, and long-term relationships — not just delivering a finished house, but creating a home with purpose and longevity.

Working with Jeff was exceptional from start to finish. From our first interaction, his communication was clear, proactive, and deeply reassuring. He took the time to genuinely understand our vision and guided us through what was a complex design and approval process with patience, confidence, and integrity. Jeff’s calm, respectful, and highly professional approach set the tone for the entire journey. Even with a constrained site and detailed council requirements, everything was handled seamlessly, with clear explanations and thoughtful problem-solving. His attention to detail and considered design input elevated the home well beyond our expectations and made the entire process feel smooth, controlled, and genuinely stress-free.

We were very specific about wanting expansive spaces combined with intelligent, highly usable design, and the outcome is a true reflection of the team’s expertise. Meg’s design work was outstanding — her drawings captured our vision beautifully while balancing functionality, aesthetics, and practicality with remarkable precision. Every challenge was approached with a solution-focused mindset, and we were consistently presented with well-considered options that enhanced the overall outcome rather than compromising it.

Jeff is an outstanding leader, supported by an impressive and highly capable team including Meg, Belinda, Daniel, Joel, Josh, Guy, and the many skilled trades working behind the scenes. Together, they delivered a home that not only met our expectations, but elevated them to an entirely new level.

Belinda’s patience and refined guidance throughout the selections process made what can often feel overwhelming an effortless and enjoyable experience. Daniel and Joel’s calm, composed approach when incorporating our requested variations contributed greatly to a smooth and positive build journey. Josh’s thoroughness and meticulous attention to detail gave us complete confidence during the final stages leading up to handover. Guy’s landscaping deserves special mention — his expertise and creativity transformed our outdoor spaces into a tranquil, elegant retreat that perfectly complements the home.

MJS delivers far more than a build; they deliver a considered, premium experience defined by professionalism, transparency, and exceptional quality. We are absolutely thrilled with our home and would highly recommend Jeff and his team to anyone seeking a builder who truly excels in both execution and client care.

Thanks Jeff and Team!

- Viveck and Preeti.

J Koh

Choosing the right custom home builder is a huge decision, and after completing our build with MJS, we’re convinced we chose the best builder in Melbourne. Jeff and his team are professional, highly experienced and genuinely invested in delivering a quality home. Communication was exceptional —Jeff updated weekly, answered every question clearly and proactively resolved issues before they became delays.

The workmanship is outstanding. Our final inspection was flawless, with every detail already picked up the team before we even noticed it. The project finished ahead of schedule, the site was always clean and organised, and neighbours constantly commented on how respectful the team was.

We were so happy with the entire experience that we’re already hoping to build with MJS again.

If you’re searching for a reliable, honest and detail-driven builder who delivers a stress-free building experience and exceptional results, we highly recommend MJS.

Simon Dehne

MJS deserve a 10 out of 5 review — just an amazing and truly stress-free experience. Building with MJS Construction Group was incredible from start to finish. Jeff and the team delivered exactly what they promise on their website — on time, on budget, with excellent communication and attention to detail.

Led by Jeff, and supported brilliantly by Daniel, Belinda, Rebecca, Dillon and Josh, the whole process was seamless. The project finished ahead of schedule, the quality is outstanding, and every detail was managed with care.

A huge thanks also to the tradies who clearly take pride in their work. Special mention to Guy (landscaping) and Jessie (electrician) — nothing was ever too much trouble, and their workmanship was first-class.

In a time when you hear so many negative stories about the building industry, MJS are a shining example of honesty, transparency, and reliability. We’re beyond thrilled with our new home and can’t recommend them highly enough.

Vic Nguyen

A1 Builder- Professional – Committed – Reliable.

My wife and I wanted to knock down our old house and build 2 townhouses. We knew what we wanted to do and after seeing and talking to more than 15 different Builders we learnt a lot from each of them and knew who could or couldn’t do it for us.

We met Jeff from MSJ Construction Group. After the initial meeting with Jeff, we knew that Jeff was the Builder for us. A straight shooter that won’t waste his time or our time, if Jeff says that he could do it then he will do it. A professional that’s on top of everything, from start to finish. A man that works tirelessly to achieve a common goal. And of course, a great team behind the scenes that do fantastic work and always willing to listen to our needs and get things done efficiently.

Because Jeff only takes in enough projects that he knows he can look after, he looks after our houses with great care and dedication. He made the process smooth and seamless throughout the construction process (the houses were completed 2 weeks earlier than scheduled).

Great work Jeff and the team at MSJ Construction Group. Thank you for the beautiful houses and your dedication from start to finish. Highly recommended.

Joanne Wilson

Jeff built a dual occupancy for us in Bentleigh. The finishes and attention to detail were first-class. We received a very good outcome at our first auction, and everyone who saw the building was very impressed with the build. We enjoyed working with Jeff who was as interested in the whole process as we were. He suggested all of the luxury finishes and helped with every step of the process. Very importantly he was always available to talk. Every Wednesday he rang me to let me know where we were up to, and if I ever had any questions and was unable to speak to him immediately he always rang back as soon as he could. In fact I can't think of bad to say. Thanks Jeff and you deserve 5 star rating.

Danny Petrov

Fantastic people to deal with and great quality work!

John Christou

I couldn't be happier with the experience of working with Jeff and his team on building both mine and my brother's townhouses in Cheltenham. From start to finish, the process was smooth and stress-free. Jeff is an exceptional builder, honest, reliable, and incredibly skilled. Whenever there was a minor issue, he was quick to address it and ensure it was resolved to our satisfaction. What really stands out is Jeff's genuine care and commitment to doing the right thing. It's rare to find a builder who truly looks out for their clients, and Jeff is definitely one of those rare finds. Both my brother and I are already looking forward to our next build with him. I highly recommend Jeff for anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled builder.

michael badr

My wife and I built our first property from scratch. A daunting thought but when we engaged MJS construction group to build our dream home they made our experience perfect! Jeff and his amazing team did such a great job from day one. From the planning process to the construction of the house.
The level of detail and craftsmanship is next level. The highest quality of builders. They made you feel like anything could be done. A great experience and if we had the opportunity to build again, MJS would be a builders. Thank you again!

Adrian Harris

We could not be happier with the end result of our duel occupancy project. With a tight budget and a odd-shaped block of land, finding the right builder was an initial challenge. MJS immediately eased our concerns and presented a clear pathway for the project.

Completion was 4 months ahead of schedule and we received exceptional communication throughout through the entire process.

We also started at a time when the building industry was going through supply challengers, which did not appear to have an impact on this builder.

We encountered zero delays with any single aspect of the project and the end result was completely as expected. There were no defects or issues with the either townhouse.

If you are after a builder that knowns how to get the job done, and communicates well without delay, then I would highly recommend MJS construction.

Anna Nutbean

We are absolutely thrilled with our new home! From start to finish, the entire building process was seamless and stress-free. Jeff and his team were professional, attentive to our needs, and committed to delivering top-quality craftsmanship.

Every detail was carefully executed, and they went above and beyond to make sure our vision came to life. Communication was excellent throughout the build, Jeff phoned us weekly with an update.

The end result is a home that exceeded our expectations in every way — it’s everything we dreamed of and more! We highly recommend MJS to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused builder. Thank you for making this such a wonderful experience!

Carla Rinder

MJS are the best builders in Melbourne! We couldn’t be happier with the work done by Jeff, Joel & the rest of the fantastic team. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is top-notch. They always deliver on what they promise, and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with such lovely, reliable people. We would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled builder!

Patrick Davies

We couldn't have been happier working with the professionalism and experience MJS Construction offered.
This was the first building project we took on and were committed to building a dual occupancy. Whilst we had the plans drawn up with a different builder, we had all sorts of problems working with them, with delays and inconsistent advice and slow responses. Eventually they went into administration, which seemed devastating at the time, however it was the best thing that could have happened.
We had spoken with Jeff from MJS Constructions several times throughout the lead up with the alternate builder and always appreciated his direct and honest approach. Once we had the freedom, we contacted Jeff to take over the project, which was essentially from the beginning -we didn’t even have the slab down.
From his own experience working in similar situations, Jeff helped us navigate the world of insurance and the challenges with the company going into administration to ensure we got the best result. From there he picked up the project and helped us reset and build the homes we wanted.
MJS Constructions gave us flexibility and allowed us to make changes to the choices we had made previously, to update the plans and add a few personal touches that we otherwise weren't able to do.
The MJS Construction team were most helpful and supportive throughout each step, from Daniel at the planning phase to Belinda at the selections phase, to Mick as the Project Manager to Josh who prepared the house for us to take over.
The buildings themselves are of great quality and the project plan implemented ensured consistent progress each week with weekly progress reports over the phone. When we encountered setbacks, Jeff always presented solutions to meet time targets and we were never left wondering what was going on or what was next. The building site was always kept tidy to the point that passersby would stop to comment, and the final houses were handed over in impeccable condition.
We couldn’t have been happier with the experience and appreciated all the work by the team. It was lovely to have them all here for the handover, to do the final walk through and the post project support continues as we settle in.

Nik Michalik

Design and construction of dual occupancy dwellings.

After an unpleasant experience with a previous builder, our family was quite hesitant to pursue further property development plans and engage with another builder, however, after our initial discussion and meeting with Jeff and the MJS Construction team, we felt that things would be different, and indeed, fast forward 12 months and our faith has been restored in the construction industry.

While there are some players who contribute to giving the building industry a less than positive reputation, Jeff and his team work tirelessly on the other side to provide an excellent customer experience and product of the highest quality to balance things out.

From the weekly check-ins, constant correspondence, to the great attitude of putting the customer's needs first, no task or request was too great or felt cumbersome to ask. If you want a builder that values transparency, communicates clearly and effectively, and is attentive to detail then you won't go wrong with Jeff and the MJS Construction team (Mick, Dan & Belinda).

Thanks MJS Construction!
Jack, Izabela and Nik

Nam Do

Best builder ever!!! I can’t recommend Jeff and his team enough.

If you get a chance to build with MJS, count yourself lucky. We went through over 3 years lengthy process with 3 different builders just dragging things out. The last one was Porter Davis, who went under. That’s when MJS took over from our early framing stage and finish the job in 7 months.

The whole process with Jeff was so simple and everything was so well communicated, which is a breath of fresh air after dealing with all other builders. His attention to details, quality of work, expertise, experience, and great communication make the building process a breeze. Jeff is super accommodating and always making sure I get exactly what I want in the house.

This was definitely a silver lining for us with Porter Davis going under. Now, we have a much better-quality built house and exactly how we want it. Jeff went above and beyond in several areas and did extra work for us above what we had agreed. His whole team at MJS (Daniel, Joel, Josh, Belinda) and all his tradies (Guy, Luke, Jessie) are all very kind, knowledgeable, professional, and easy to deal with. Thank you all!

Alison Lord

Jeff and the team at MJS are excellent builders. We have been extremely pleased with the final result of our townhouse development in Beaumaris. This has culminated in MJS winning the 2023 HIA award for our project. They are a very efficient building team and the project ran smoothly throughout. All of the trades people work to an excellent standard and we could not recommend MJS more highly. We are happy to speak to any prospective client of MJS. Thanks again Jeff and if we were to build in the future you would be the first person we would call.
Best regards, Alison & Greg

ilana weizman

We very highly recommend MJS Construction Group. We started our dual occupancy homes in July 2022. We were quoted 12 months for the project and it was actually completed under time in just 11 months! Jeff and the team (Daniel, Joel, Josh and Belinda) were absolutely fantastic. They are extremely experienced and unbelievably well organised. I was so nervous in the beginning, but everything was smooth sailing from start to end. Would absolutely use MJS again without any hesitation if we were to build again.

Phil Sealy

I have just completed a two townhouse development with MJS Construction Group.

From start to end, the process was executed on time and communication from Jeff and the team was excellent. Whilst under construction, trades seemed to be on site everyday ensuring the project was completed and handed back to me ASAP, which is vitally important to keep my holding costs to a minimum.

The build looks amazing, and I am so glad I built with them, so much so, that I have just instructed them to commence working on another townhouse development I have.

They get a five-star recommendation from me….

Brian Teys

We are first time builders and were somewhat apprehensive about what we were about to embark on. We could not have made a better decision than going with MJS Construction Group to build our 2 townhouses. Our thanks to Jeff, Daniel, Joel, Josh and the team for their patience, dedication and focus in delivering 2 fabulous townhouses. Jeff, the General Manager, made the project feel like a real partnership. He made sure everything went to plan and gave us confidence that we would get a top class finish, which we did. We were kept fully informed of the progress of our build with weekly briefings giving us plenty of opportunity to ask questions and keep up to date. Nothing was too much trouble. We were provided with an end to end solution from drawing up the plans to dealing with the intricacies of the council planning process to handing over the keys at the end. We couldn't be more happy with the final result. We recently had handover of the townhouses and despite a few minor defects that have been identified, Jeff has continued to show his persistence in following through to ensure they are rectified without any fuss in a timely manner. If you're looking for a dedicated, professional builder with attention to detail do yourself favour, put MJS at the top of your list.

Rick B

Great work from MJS and the team! Quality Builders

helen halidas

MJS team (Jeff, Daniel, Josh, Joel and others) were amazing to deal with, again that is. From our weekly update, even if no update and just touching base, to getting the house built quicker than we imagined. We have absolutely loved building with you guys, our dream home has exceeded our expectations and we love it!!

Leila C

We’ve just moved into our new MJS built home – and here’s a summary of our experience, and why we’d use them again: first off, it definitely felt like a “team” project and that we were a part of the process. Our concerns were heard and addressed to our satisfaction. Jeff was our main point of contact throughout the build and he clearly takes pride in his work. We challenged him with specific requests (such as retaining parts of the garden that are not usually retained in knock-down-rebuilds) and he made it happen! He communicated weekly with us to keep us updated on the build progress and was readily available if we reached out to him, and acknowledged our concerns and guided us through uncertainties. The wider MJS team are just as approachable and great to work with. We had a brilliant experience, despite the challenges on the sector posed by COVID-19. The final product speaks for itself – it is stunning and we are still receiving compliments from strangers on the street! Thanks so much, again, to MJS for our amazing home!

Eli Ratiner

My wife and I recently completed a dual occupancy development with MJS; unlike the horror stories that have gained prevalence in the news recently, building with MJS was a pleasure and exceeded all our expectations.

Given that this was our first project, we were particularly diligent in selecting a builder who could deliver a quality build whilst operating within our strict budget. After receiving a strong recommendation from a family friend and inspecting the quality of their work, we chose to proceed with Jeff and the team at MJS. The first thing that stood out to us was Jeff’s willingness to collaborate and find creative solutions that would provide us with the extras we wanted, without blowing up our budget. Moreover, throughout this project, Jeff and the team were extremely responsive, delivered on their commitments and conducted themselves with a great degree of professionalism - this really helped minimise the stresses associated with developing a property. Another thing we really appreciated was the way Jeff held himself (and everyone involved) accountable; not only in sustaining our dialogue but also persistently chasing up subcontractors to ensure that all promises were fulfilled. Impressively, this demeanour and attitude did not cease after handover - Jeff ensured that all the identified defects were addressed in a timely manner and with little fuss. A small shout out to the rest of the MJS team who were instrumental in making our vision a reality:

Daniel, thank you for your patience and for hand-holding us throughout the selections process. Joel, thank you for keeping things ticking along onsite and facilitating visits for our peace of mind. Josh, thank you for bringing everything together during the fixing stage and ensuring that all work was performed to a high standard. Also worth noting that all the interactions we had with the subcontractors were positive - everyone was friendly and willing to address any identified issues.

All in all, I’m pleased to confirm that our project was delivered on time and on budget. This was quite a remarkable achievement given the challenging circumstances that the building industry was facing with material availability as well as COVID lockdowns in Victoria.

A final thank you to Jeff, Daniel, Joel and Josh - you guys are legends and the final product is outstanding!

Narani Smyth

Jeff and his team (Daniel, Joel and Josh) went over and above to ensure I had my dream home. Even through the challenging time of COVID they were able to finish my build to the highest quality, on time and within the budget. Every step of the way Jeff was professional and transparent with weekly updates which I appreciated. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and was always willing to share his expertise and advice. Thank you, Jeff and the team! I would highly recommend them to any of my friends or family.

Seshan Ramaswamy

My wife and I are extremely happy to have gone with MJS Construction Group. Very top quality and reliable. I will highly recommend you to talk to this Construction Group if you are building your dream home.

Oleg Mitnovetski

This was our first build and we were very lucky that MJS Construction Group was recommended to us. We were building during the challenging time of Covid, with shortages of building materials, lockdowns, price rises and still Jeff and his team managed to complete our house ahead of schedule. It was completed to the highest standard and on budget. The whole process was very transparent, with no hidden costs, all fees were explained and most were included in the contract. Jeff's communication was excellent, and kept us updated on the progress of the build weekly. He is very knowledgeable and always ready to share his expertise and advice. We will definitely be recommending MJS Construction Group to our friends and family.

Danielle Sacks

Jeff and the MJS team went over and above to deliver an outstanding dual occupancy build for us. Even with lockdowns due to Covid 19 they were able to manage and finish our build on time with premium quality and within our budget. They communicated with us weekly and guided us to make the whole process seamless. We highly recommend them to anyone requiring a new build.

nimrod carmi

Jeff and his team are fantastic, couldn't recommend them high enough

Michael Dobbs

Jeff has completed a number of projects for me. MJS always keeps me well informed and delivers a quality result within a promised timeframe. I highly recommend them for planning, design and construction of dwellings, especially dual occupancy units.

Kylie May

We have recently finished a rear extension with Jeff and his team. The whole process from planning until after completion was carried out in a very professional manner and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. Jeff continually kept us informed throughout the whole process and his attention to detail has resulted in an extension we are thrilled with. We would gladly use them for any future building works, in fact I doubt if we would use anyone else!

Roman Meister

MJS Construction group just completed construction of two townhouses for us & our partners in mid December 2020. The overall project was completed in less than 10 months despite Covid19 restrictions that were imposed during the build. We cannot speak highly enough of the very high standard of the completed townhouses. We were touched by Jeff, Daniel, Josh & dedicated team of trades’ attention to detail, their dedication & quality finish. Special thanks to Jess & Guy also. The professionalism of the whole team is outstanding. We are very pleased with the result!
Considering this was our first project - thank you Jeff & team

We used MJS to complete our duplex. This is my experience dealing with them.
I found Jeff to be man of his word and a straight talker. When he says he will do something he makes sure it is done. He also follows up with you to make sure the job is completed. Even after 6 month of completing the build he still keeps in touch to see how the house is and if anything needs to be repaired. From what I know some of the other builders don't want to know you once the project is completed. So it is a very big plus and peace of mind
Also I found that Jeff is a trustworthy person. He will not lead you on with vague promises. He will let you know straight up if it can be done or not. If he is not sure he will follow up and give you an answer. He is also very knowledgeable and I mean not only text book but also practical real life building knowledge. When you want something different he usually comes up with a solution for them.
Build was completed couple or weeks before the deadline. The attention to detail was great and was on budget.
This was my experience dealing with Jeff and MJS Construction. If you are building I highly recommend giving him a call as you have nothing to lose but gain a very good builder.

Our project was a full internal renovation which included some very complex structural changes. Jeff and his team at MJS Constructions came highly recommended from friends. After meeting with a number of architects and builders, our first meeting with Jeff left us absolutely clear that he was the one to run our project.

Jeff was very knowledgeable and provided clever suggestions that made our layout more workable and he was transparent from the beginning about what could and couldn’t be done within our budget. Danny worked patiently with us through the selection process and we were very impressed that lots of little important details that are often ‘extras’ were in fact already incorporated into the contract. Provisional sums were generous and so our project came in on budget with no hidden extras.

The communication during the project was outstanding. Jeff contacted us at least weekly during the entire project to provide an update and took us through regular walk throughs so we could see the project progress, ask questions and check in on details along the way.

His team of highly skilled professionals worked extremely hard during the pandemic period which posed big challenges with supply shortages and restrictions. Despite this, they continued to deliver an outstanding high quality result, right on time.

One of the many extra things that delighted us was Josh ‘the finisher’ who spent the last two weeks meticulously checking every detail, addressing any issues and setting up/configuring our appliances so that our home was truly ‘move in’ and ready to enjoy.

We absolutely struck gold with Jeff and the MJS team. He is an outstanding Project Manager with a strong attention to detail. He provides excellent communication and was always honest and transparent. Like everyone, we had heard 100’s of horror stories about builders and, being our first major project, we were nervous. However, we have had an incredibly positive experience throughout and we can not thank Jeff and his team enough.

We absolutely recommend MJS Constructions as a 5 star builder. Jeff is our go to builder now and after such an amazing experience, we look forward to working with him on other projects down the track.

We've just moved into one of 2 townhouses built by MJS Constructions. We can't praise the
work done by Jeff and his exceptional team enough!!. The build was meticulously followed by Jeff on a daily basis and contact with us was prompt and clearly communicated. The level of work is visibly high.
We employed the services of MJS Constructions after falling victims to a charloten builder that left us financially and emotionally devastated. This company was just what we needed to get us back on our feet and we're thrilled in our home.
Do yourselves a favour and use this company - you will be very happy with the result. We are happy to be contacted for feedback.

It is extremely hard to find a good builder in a competitive market. This is the fourth building project and third dual occupancy project that we have done so we are quite familiar with the process. By far Jeff and his team have been the most responsive, thorough and knowledgeable of all that we have dealt with. Jeff exceeds all expectations as a manager and communicator. He promises to call every week and does so without fail, he is hardworking and transparent, and his attention to detail is exceptional. He also listens, which is probably the most important characteristic of a builder to have. He has a fantastic knowledgeable team and his tradesmen are very respectful and experienced.
We are overjoyed with the results of our dual project, exactly as we expected, no less, probably more. I cannot recommend Jeff enough. I would be very happy to do another project with Jeff, he has become our go to builder. The most heartfelt thank you to Jeff, his team and tradesmen at MJS.

My husband and I researched extensively and spoke with numerous building companies before engaging Jeff for our duplex building project and we are very glad about our decision. From the beginning ( before signing contract) till the handover, Jeff and his staff exceeded our we expectation with their progress communication and follow- up.We were fully aware of every step of the build and it greatly reduced any potential anxiety through the project.
Jeff and his staff are experienced, knowledgeable and have good work ethic. We appreciate their practical advice to ensure the build was of good quality, aesthetically pleasing and within our budget at the same time.
After we were handed over our beautiful townhouses, Jeff and his staff are great at following up with us to ensure we are happy with everything.
We have recommended MJS to our friends and we think all the staff at MJS have set a good example for people in their industry.

Jeff and his team rescued our build project, having been left high and dry from our previous builder. We would have no hesitation in recommending MJS Construction Group for your build project, and look forward to working with Jeff and his team on our next project. We valued Jeff's high communication and project management skills and the team’s attention to detail and quality. MJS took away all our concerns during the build and has followed up post hand over to ensure all is well. Jeff and his team at MJS are total professionals with a strong client focus that ensured our project was enjoyable, exciting and delivered ahead of time. We strongly recommend MJS to look after your project. Thank you to all the staff and team at MJS Constructions; we could not imagine where we would be without you.

I wanted to say a big thanks to the team at MJS Construction. I've built with Jeff before and it's refreshing to work with a builder that is truely a professional and cares about the end product he produces. The end result was a well finished product beyond my expectations. It's the little things that made a difference like the advice on selections and refinements to plans during the build phase that resulted in a great finish.
You often hear about people who have poor experiences with builders, but I can truely say that the team go above and beyond to ensure that you feel like you're being listen to along the journey. So even on the odd occasion that something do go wrong onsite, the team made sure that the situation was rectified without question. At the end of the day, I had a great experience with on budget and on time delivery. I have no hesitation in recommending them and that's quite rare in this industry in believe.

Jessica Lam

Jeff, Josh and the team have been absolutely wonderful! We had a knock down rebuild project to build two houses on the one block of land for my partner & I and the in-laws. The MJS team have been extremely helpful the entire way of our development journey and really paitent with us, espcially with the in-laws when they had lots of questions. They explained things to us when we were unsure and they definitely had our best interest in mind by providing us with helpful suggestions when we were being money concious. It has been an absolute pleasure working with the team, they've delivered amazing houses that exceed our expectations and worked really hard and diligently to complete our homes ready for move in before the Christmas to avoid the long period of rest over the holidays.

FAQ

A townhouse is an excellent option for people who want a smaller home that blends single-family living with condominium-style. Townhouses are less costly to build than single-family homes, and they offer many of the same benefits of single-family living for the owners. Their unique style and layout mean many townhouses can be built in smaller areas than would accommodate the same number of single-family residences.

What does it cost to build a townhouse?

The national average cost for building a single townhouse is $111,000 to $222,000, with most people paying around $166,500 for a 1,500 sq. ft.

Is it worth it to buy a townhouse?

Is townhouse good investment?

Yes, buying townhouses to rent comes with a wide range of advantages. Here are some of the benefits of owning a townhouse: Affordability – Townhouses are usually more affordable compared to single-family properties in the same location.

Affordability – Townhouses are usually more affordable compared to single-family properties in the same location. This is because it is less expensive to build properties that are attached.
Less maintenance – Since townhouses are located on small pieces of land, it is much easier to maintain both the interior and exterior spaces.
More ownership – As mentioned earlier, you have ownership of the interior as well as the exterior of the investment property. This gives you more freedom to make changes to the exterior of your rental property.
Strategic locations – Most townhouses are located in close proximity to major traffic routes and school zones. This makes them attractive to potential renters.

How do you find a good Sandringham townhouse builder?

Questions to ask your Sandringham townhouse builder

Can you show recent examples of your work?

Check out completed homes in your area and talk to previous customers. Reputable builders confident about their own work will be happy to put you in touch with previous customers.

Are you licensed?

Unlicensed builders might be cheaper, but you won’t have any protection. So work with licensed builders only. And don’t just take their word for it—you can check yourself online.

Are you fully insured?

It’s important you’re fully protected. Generally, home indemnity insurance covers you for financial loss, while workers’ compensation and general or public liability insurance protect you against workplace accidents. Make sure your builder has
the necessary financial protection in case something goes wrong. Each state and territory has different rules about the amount and type of insurance that builders must hold.

How long have you been in business?

Ideally, you want a well-established builder who enjoys solid long-term relationships with their tradespeople.

How do we pay?

You don’t want to be paying substantial amounts up-front. So set expectations in advance. Progress payments should be made after the work is done to your satisfaction.

Who will supervise the work?

The onsite supervisor’s role is crucial to the smooth running of the project. Meet up to make sure you’ll be comfortable working with them.

Do you have other jobs on?

If the builder has other commitments, your work could get bumped and delayed. On the other hand, if the builder is free to start tomorrow, it may be worth asking why they are so quiet.

What happens if there is a problem?

With any complex building project issues are bound to crop up. Ask how long they guarantee their work. There is usually a building maintenance period during which the builder will come in and fix any problems. Make sure you know what is relevant in your state or territory.

Will costs change?

Make sure the quote includes total costs and there are no hidden surprises. But even so, when it comes to building it’s a good idea to expect the unexpected. If the builder encounters a site problem which requires more work or if you want to vary your plans, it’s important to discuss up-front how this will be managed.

How long will it take?

Complex building projects rarely run exactly to schedule. You’re subject to the vagaries of the weather and the reliability of suppliers. But it’s a good idea to set a timeframe for completion, along with progress milestones along the way. Remember, it’s your house and you need to get it right. So you need to be comfortable with your choice of builder. If it doesn’t feel right, shop around and get a second opinion.
