Handover!

24 weeks ago our bit of dirt went from this...

To this! 

Today we received our Keys to our New McDonald Jones Home! 

Huge Thanks goes out to our Site supervisors Dave, Mark and James, Our Client Liaison Officer Jenni, Our Colour and Electrical studio girls Christine, Lerissa, and all the staff and tradies that have had been a part of our build. 

Last of all to Vince!!!  Soon as we talked with you over the phone back on 7/10/12. I new from that conversation that McDonald Jones would build our home because of the customer service we received from yourself. 

Thanks so much for your guidance, support and for coming in, or getting back to us on your days off.

We have had the best experience building with you guys, everyone we met, from the guy that delivered the ATF fence to the staff in your office. The customer service has been outstanding and we highly recommend McDonald Jones to anyone that is looking to build.
