Miller Homes Limited is a privately held housebuilding company based in the United Kingdom.
History
The company was established by Sir James Miller in 1934.[1] Expansion led to James' brothers, John and Lawrence, joining him in the business.[2] Miller soon became Edinburgh's leading housebuilder, building close to five hundred houses per year during the 1930s.[3]
The outbreak of the Second World War led to the company's abrupt cessation of private housebuilding and the start of Miller's construction business, which continued to grow following the end of the conflict. The peacetime return to house construction was largely driven by local authority schemes; it was not until the end of building controls in the beginning of the 1950s that Miller Homes resumed private housing – often using its extensive pre-war land holdings.[3]
