Our Staff
Patterson Homes is committed to ensuring our clients are completely satisfied throughout the building process. From the time you make your first enquiry right through to the time you move into your new home or development and beyond, Patterson Homes aims to exceed all your expectations and make the building experience enjoyable.
At Patterson Homes, we insist on quality, reliability, personal care and professionalism from each member of our team, including contractors and suppliers. We will not compromise on quality or efficiency and value the reputation that has been built on that commitment.
Patterson Homes has a reputation of excellence from Port Melbourne to Portsea and across the east and south-east to Bayswater and Dandenong. We understand that you need to be comfortable with the time frame and will not push you to get you started on your project, or keep you waiting while we complete other projects.
At Patterson Homes, we have a fantastic team that will help you throughout the building process including Matthew Phillips Builder/Construction manager, Nathan Ferry our Project Supervisor, Jorge Yap our Purchasing manager, Tracy Barnes our project administrator, and Michelle Phillips who looks after accounts payable and receivable. All our trades submit tenders to apply for a project, ensuring that they are eager to work on your project within your given time frame and expectation of quality. We will ensure they are kept up to date every step of the way and know exactly which materials, specifications and requirements are needed, even if you change your mind.
How do we do this effectively? Through our unique web-based online software that optimizes communication between Patterson Homes, the client and our trades and suppliers. We believe this is our distinct advantage in project building, as it allows real time 24/7 access to scheduling information to track the project, variations, documents and photos of the project as it is progressing. It also informs all the people who are working on the project about warranty management, client selections and much more.
