apart, according to Locky, is a combination of meticulous attention to detail and attitude. “We don’t just whack them up—we make sure what we’re delivering is to a high standard,” he says. There’s also a personal energy they bring to each build that clients respond to. “We were tendering against another builder recently and the client said, ‘Your prices were very similar, but we gave it to you because you just seemed very enthusiastic about it.’” Modern Homes also employs a very talented team of foremen and tradespeople, and they pair those employees to jobs very thoughtfully. Locky believes that also sets them apart. “We’ve got five foremen, and we can put a specific foreman on a job that suits his skill set,” he explains. “We’ve generally got five or six jobs going at once, and everyone’s working to their strengths.” Over the years, Modern Homes’ approach has consistently resulted in strong and lasting relationships with clients. These days, they generate the majority of their leads from referrals and past clients. “We don’t go asking for work—it just comes to us, luckily enough,” Locky says. Their social media presence and branded vehicles provide visibility, but word-of-mouth and trusted relationships with architects remain their strongest pipeline. With a team of 15, the company has cultivated a tight-knit, family-oriented culture. “We all get along really well, and we try to do a bit of stuff louis@evolvetiling.net.au 0497970161 Launceston based Tiling company that caters in all aspects from full bathroom renovation, commercial, to high end residential projects priding our selves on our quality.
