Consolidated tender (Interim un-registered Land)

• 16/12/3014 CLO was assigned the next day after signing off on the consolidated tender and MDJ staff were immediately in contact to book in appointments. Preliminary colour selection booked for 09/01/2015. Plan presentation on 30/01/2015. Colour selection 04/02/2015 

The journey with MDJ to date has been quite smooth. If you guys ever build with McDonald Jones, I highly recommend our sales consultant Tracey Neilsen located at Oran Park. She is brilliant! 

Anyway, looks like not much will happen from now till our preliminary colour selection appointment so I'll be MIA till then. Wishing you guys a Merry Christmas and a fabulous New Year.
