estled in Toolangi’s bush at the old Demby Sawmill site, MillBuilt is breaking the mould for modular homes.
MillBuilt owners, Daniel and Jamie Pobjoy, spent over a decade in the building industry witnessing the countless problems that come with one-off builds. Among these issues was the proliferation of oversized, inefficient dwellings that created more consumption and more work for their inhabitants. “We were building one-off new houses, essentially a lot of them were designed by the client, and we just found houses were getting bigger and bigger. Clients thought they needed a lot more than they actually did. We were finishing houses and thinking there is so much wasted space here. It’s space that you’ve got to clean and space that you’ve got to cool, but it’s also space that you’ve got to fill. So we thought, there’s got to be a better way,” Daniel says. At the other end of the spectrum, modular homes are a quick and easy option but have a reputation for being slapped together and somewhat lacking in the aesthetics department.
