Miranda Homes has worked tirelessly to perfect its business model that has become very unique to the industry. Our vertical integration concept, that allows us to control the build process, proves very beneficial to our clients. It provides better design and visual aids that convert their Dream home to very detailed construction documents. These documents, or "deliverables" help eliminate the waste caused by rework from miscommunication, unnecessary change orders, and also gives our crews the information they need when they need it. This process reduces man hours, which drastically shortens the length of the project. That in turn is why we can afford to use much higher quality materials that allow us to achieve much higher Energy Efficiency standards, Quality standards and build a project that will "Sustain the Test of Time.”
