Architects + Builders, Freshwater
MILEHAM Architects + Builders is a boutique design and build firm based in Freshwater. Founder and Director James Pilcher is both a registered architect and a licensed builder, so design and construction sit under one roof from the very first site meeting.
With more than two decades of experience across renovations, extensions and knockdown rebuilds, the MILEHAM team designs homes for the family in front of them, and the family they may become.

Your architect can only design within your true numbers. Set aside around 30% for council fees, consultants, landscaping and soft furnishings.
Two homes of the same size can differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Site, glazing, joinery and finishes decide the real cost.
A builder's eye from the first concept keeps your design and your budget telling the same story.
Hidden structural issues can make a renovation dearer than a knockdown rebuild. Ask for a feasibility assessment before you commit.
A DA approved major renovation takes around 18 months from design to done. A custom knockdown rebuild, closer to two years or more.
A playroom can become a teen retreat; a linen cupboard can be sized for a future lift. Plan once, renovate once.
