A decade of partnership: McDonald Jones Homes and Buildcert
For nearly a decade, we’ve partnered with McDonald Jones Homes (MJH) and their owners to certify their extensive building projects across the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions. With over 37 years of experience, McDonald Jones shares our commitment to delivering quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
This ongoing relationship reflects our commitment to reliability, efficiency, and the seamless integration of our certification services into the construction process. Their focus on sustainability and high standards in construction aligns perfectly with our expertise in building certification, ensuring every project meets regulatory compliance.
A collaborative approach
Over the years, we’ve developed a deep understanding of MJH’s processes, which allows us to provide tailored certification services that align perfectly with their operational needs.
A key part of this collaboration is our ability to consistently deliver assessments in under one day after lodgement, ensuring MJH’s projects progress smoothly and efficiently. This swift turnaround is essential to keeping their high-volume projects on schedule from the initial assessment, critical stage inspections right through to the issue of the final occupation certificate.
Our Residential Certification Manager, Dan Chapman, has worked closely with MJH for a number of years.
“Our relationship is a testament to our dedication to collaboration. We’ve worked hard to understand their needs and adapt our services to ensure every project is delivered on time and to the highest standards.”
Streamlined processes and shared expertise
One of the key factors in our successful relationship is the efficiency we bring to the table. With extensive geographical coverage across New South Wales, including Sydney and regional areas, we provide MJH with the convenience of reliable support across multiple project sites.
This scale, combined with our ability to conduct timely assessments, offer next-day inspections, and provide clear guidance throughout the certification process, ensures that MJH can confidently rely on us to meet their project timelines.
To further support their high volume of projects, we proactively issue weekly inspection reports to supervisors, summarising inspection results and upcoming bookings. This approach helps mitigate missed inspections and ensures projects stay on track.
This synergy not only helps keep projects on schedule but also allows for quick adjustments when necessary, ensuring that all parties can move forward with confidence.
Sharon Hill, General Manager, McDonald Jones Homes, has seen firsthand the impact of our collaboration on projects.
“We trust Buildcert because they understand our business needs and deliver with precision and reliability every time. They’re always willing to go the extra mile.”
Supporting innovation and growth
As MJH continues to expand and take on new challenges, we remain a reliable partner, ready to tailor our processes and support their evolving needs. Whether it’s through our top-notch portal that provides real-time updates or our dedicated team that’s always on hand to address any issues, we strive to make the certification process as seamless as possible.
“We’ve built an open and transparent relationship with the entire MJH team, which allows us to quickly address any challenges that arise and keep projects moving forward. Whether this is with the team in the office, or the tradies on the ground” – Dan Chapman
A relationship built on trust
The longevity of our partnership with MJH speaks to the trust we’ve built over the years. By consistently delivering on our promises and maintaining open lines of communication, we’ve earned a reputation as a dependable partner that MJH can rely on, no matter the project’s scope or complexity.
“Their communication and commitment to finding solutions are what set Buildcert apart. We consider them a trusted partner, seamlessly working alongside us to deliver the best certification results.” – Sharon Hill
