Why Mill Spec?

Amusingly, back in 2008, Simon worked with a shopfitting team and sub-trades demolishing and installing new internal walls at Westcourt Plaza. During this project, Simon was to hear for the first time “why are you so damn specific! You’re so millimetre specific!” Well what can one say… from herein Simon was known as being millimetre specific on his projects and it carried through to the business name (as we know it now), “Mill Spec Construction”.

Simon’s dedication and drive to provide quality workmanship and a friendly and professional service has always been, and will continue to be, the mission of Mill Spec Construction.
