Dispute resolution process
Any disputes or queries are resolved on a timely basis through collaboration between Miller Homes and the subcontractor / supplier.
Subcontractors – where there are any differences between a subcontractor application and the payment ultimately made we endeavour to issue formal notice of issues to the subcontractor, followed by ongoing discussion with our commercial team in order to resolve the issue.
Suppliers – any disputes or queries are initially resolved by discussion between the relevant Miller Homes and supplier contacts.
If disputes cannot be resolved through normal procedures, the matter will be referred to our in-house legal counsel.
