Company profile
McDonald Jones Homes
McDonald Jones is one of Australia’s leading new home builders. Offering new homes and house and land packages.
When Bill McDonald set out in 1987 to build a business that built people’s homes, he had no inkling that one day the company he had founded would become one of the most trusted and successful home builders in the country.
But he would recognise the spirit that infuses every one of his company’s employees to this day. That passion for helping people realise their dreams. An unswerving commitment to guiding others on a journey that generates a lifetime of memories.
Our Vision
We want you to enjoy the journey of building your home as much as we do.
We don’t just put bricks on top of each other, hammer in a few nails and tighten a few bolts. We’re in the business of creating the most important thing in peoples’ lives. Homes are more than functional. They become places where families laugh, grow, dream and sometimes shed a tear.
McDonald Jones Homes is focused on building quality homes – however we recognise that we are a service business and our success is determined by our ability to deliver outstanding value to our customers. We aim to provide each customer with a personalised, seamless experience designed to make building a new home an enjoyable and exciting process.
