CJ Homes Pty Ltd, QBCC Act Licence No: 1062071

We have been building exceptional homes and houses since 2004.

At CJ Homes, we’re all about giving you good old-fashioned value for money. We do this by providing outstanding workmanship, exceptional customer service, and a genuine desire to give you the home you’ve always wanted.

We specialise in the design and construction of single storey, double storey, and acreage homes. We can also build a custom designed home for you to help you turn your dream home into reality.

We follow a clear and organised building process to make sure your home is built as planned and with as few delays and issues as possible. We split our process into three sections (Approvals, Construction, and Completion), which represent the three main stages of our home building process. Learn more about our building process.

Our home build packages come with a variety of standard inclusions for both the internal and external aspects of your home. View our list of standard inclusions to find out more.

The style and size of your home and the shape and elevation of your land will have some impact on the time it takes to build your home. Other factors can also come into play that are out of our hands such as Council or Covenant approvals. We measure building time from when construction commences. On single storey homes this may be approximately six months, whereas on double storey homes the build time is almost 11 months. We will always keep you updated with the progress of your home and let you know if there are any unexpected or unforeseen delays.

We can build your home throughout the greater Brisbane region and parts of Central Queensland. If you’re not sure whether we can build in your preferred location, have a chat with us to find out.

The NCC updates focus on improving residential energy efficiency standards. These changes will enhance the energy performance of new homes, promoting comfort, cost savings, and provide a greener future through emissions reductions.  

Queensland will adopt the updates, implementing the NCC Housing Energy Efficiency standards. New homes will be required to achieve a 7-star rating for the building shell which includes roofs, walls, windows, and floors. A Whole of Home energy assessment is also required encouraging the use of energy efficient appliances and equipment throughout the home.

To achieve a 7-star rating, homes will incorporate features such as optimal orientation, improved insulation, energy-efficient windows/glazing, ceiling fans, and lighter-coloured roofs. These elements contribute to greater comfort and reduced energy consumption.

CJ Homes will need to prioritise energy-efficient design strategies, such as proper orientation, improved glazing, zoning between spaces, additional insulation and the use of light roof and wall colours to achieve compliance with the new standards.

To enable our team to provide you with an accurate Fixed Price Contract, we will inspect the property and obtain reports such as the Builders Energy Report beforehand. After assessing this information, we will draw preliminary plans for your new home. The cost for undertaking this initial work is $1500.
