| 65 RURAL SERVICES » Milne Building Contractors Ltd tanks, bunkers, concrete construction and semi commercial projects. In yet another facet of the business Milne Building Contractors owns Comfort Cow Barns with Richard Stodart Building Ltd to cater to growing demand for cow barns in the Southland and Otago region. Neil says that experience is everything when it comes to designing and building cow barns as there are a lot of factors that come into play to ensure a successful outcome including correct stall sizing and number of stalls, ventilation and cow flow. Southland Farm Services, with its worldwide support from DeLaval, supplies and installs the complete fitout including the stalls, beds, troughs, brushes and effluent, electrical and plumbing requirements. Neil says this results in a one- stop-shop service for clients. Milne Building Contractors also install KlipTank effluent storage tanks throughout Southland and Otago giving it the ability to complete yet another type of commonplace farm project. The business also includes Omega Aluminium, a window ware distribution company that supplies made to measure curtain tracks and blinds to Southland and Otago retailers, and son Greg has the agency for Southland and Otago for Bowranda outdoor roofs. An important part of the success of the business is that the Milnes have been small-scale farmers themselves so have a good understanding of the needs of their customers. They now live on a seven-hectare farmlet and own a 16ha block at Rakahouka with family. With so many strings to its bow Milne Building Contractors is always busy. At the moment the company is working on a large workshop implement shed plus other smaller jobs. “With all our families living in rural areas we certainly have an understanding of clients’ needs. Whatever project we are engaged to construct it is important to understand that what you leave behind you is not only your achievement but also your clients’ investment. At Milne Building Contractors we always strive to deliver a high quality project that perfectly matches our clients’ requirements on time and on budget.” The Milnes have been small-scale farmers themselves so have a good understanding of the needs of their customers.
