What It Feels Like to Come Home to a MILEHAM Project
The greatest measure of our work is the experience of those who live in the homes we create. Our clients’ stories reflect the care and craftsmanship we bring to every project. These testimonials are a testament to the trust placed in MILEHAM and the lasting relationships we’ve built.
“Working with James to think through various layout options for a potential extension and renovation was an absolute joy. He truly listens to your needs and concerns and will find ways to overcome them that are really eye opening. He knows all the ins and outs of getting through Council for planning, and what pitfalls to avoid. I can’t recommend James and MILEHAM enough. Great architect and builder.”
— Hiam, Wheeler Heights, Northern Beaches
“Our biggest concern going in was cost — what things would actually cost, and whether we could keep overruns in check. James did a great job explaining what could be locked down in advance and what couldn’t, and his estimates were accurate. As it turned out, it worked out well — and the house is completely transformed.”
– Ben, Lane Cove West, North Shore

Client Testimonials
Grand Apartment Living
“I thought I knew exactly what I wanted until I spoke with James, whose suggestions opened my eyes to some design changes that turned out to be crucial in achieving overall living flow and aesthetic. His sense of proportion ensured the cabinetry sat beautifully within the new space. Execution of the plan was flawless.”

Riverview Entertainer
“On his first visit to provide a consultation for a major renovation of our house, James climbed up into the roof to assess the structural components of the existing house and what we would need for our extension. From this he was able to provide us an initial cost estimate on the spot, and lay out what was going to be possible within our overall project budget. His knowledge across both the architectural design and building elements really helped us understand from an early stage what was possible for us.”

“From the get go James was at the same time visionary, collaborative and humble, which is a rare combination in an architect. His background as a builder meant his suggestions were always grounded in reality (and our budget) and yet the outcome was a stunning interpretation of our intent. He took the time to really understand the nuances of our specific requirements (kitchen-sized butlers pantry, sunken lounge, open fireplace), and also brought brilliant ideas of his own to elevate the design beyond what we thought was possible.”
— Kate, Hunters Hill, North Shore
“MILEHAM provided a first rate service producing the plans and liaising with the key stakeholders in order to produce the deliverables on time as painlessly as possible. They were easy to communicate with and timely in their responses. James went over and beyond the agreement in many ways including interviewing our shortlisted builders and advising us on their suitability. It was a pleasure to work with MILEHAM, and we are happy to recommend him.”
– Cathy, Mosman, North Shore
