At Cairns Quality Homes we pride ourselves on individuality - every home we build is specifically tailored to fit our clients’ needs. We believe that the client-builder relationship is a critical success factor for a construction company. And the best way to foster that relationship, is giving our clients what they want. Our Managing Director at Cairns Quality Homes, Phillip Terranova, has been providing that personalised service forover 30 years now, since getting into business in 1983. Phillip started off as an apprentice carpenter in the 1970s. He put in his time there, finished the program, and then moved into doing renovations. From there, he shifted slowly into building houses as well. Growing the business in that way proved to be an asset because of the depth of the knowledge and experience he was able to amass. Cairns Quality Homes began when Phillip and the team saw a gap in the market that they had the ability to fill. “We basically felt that there was a need for up-market homes,” he says. “So we decided to call our business Cairns Quality Homes as a way of backing ourselves into doing that.” Unlike a lot of project builders, Cairns Quality Homes flourishes in the market of one-off homes. “If our clients give us something a little bit different or difficult, we actually thrive on that,” Phillip says. At Cairns Quality Homes, we can create our own architectural designs, or work from our client’s. “If a client comes in with a bit of paper with a scribble on it, we will convert it into a house that is workable and practical.”
