Ask the Experts: How to Find A Builder and Architect You Can Trust

The home construction industry is big at the moment – really BIG. Unfortunately, it’s also fraught with tales of tragedy and poor workmanship. For consumers it can be very hard to find the right team they can trust to help them create their dreams. Luckily in amongst the chaos there are companies like local MILEHAM, who not only aim to be beacons of quality design and construction, but also of excellent business ethics.

Alice Pilcher, Director of MILEHAM, chatted with Northern Beaches Living to give some insight and offer advice to those about to embark on their construction journey.

“I think the hardest thing for customers to realise is that it’s not just about building beautiful homes – many companies building beautiful homes on big budgets have ultimately failed,” says Alice.

“It’s really hard for a consumer to know how to assess a building company on its managerial, structural and financial merits. This is where MILEHAM is striving to be different – by focusing on the professional, financial and structural integrity of our company – not just our award-winning builds.”

“We have quarterly, annual and longer-term strategic planning and reviews set in place, taking in all aspects of our company’s financial, HR, product, sales and marketing goals. Sometimes we have to make hard decisions to ensure our sustainability, but it’s so important to us that our clients know we are all about strong and steady baseline management”.
