Josh Milne

Design & Innovation Lead Josh Milne leads the pre-construction thinking that turns ambitious project visions into buildings that actually get built, affordably, sustainably, and on time.

His background spans design management, value engineering, and construction strategy, including large timber buildings and complex sites guided from concept through to delivery with environmental considerations built in from the start. At Home Construction, Josh leads pre-construction, including Early Contractor Involvement and Value Engineering, and drives the company's sustainability and innovation strategy, exploring new technologies and methods to improve outcomes for people and the planet.

He's motivated by turning Value Engineering processes from a 'no' to a 'go', giving clients and teams clear, digestible information so they can make informed decisions, and by the challenge of building affordably at scale while reducing environmental impact to deliver healthier, more sustainable homes.
