This agile response helped the company remain resilient during a period of volatility, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable builder capable of navigating even the most unpredictable market conditions. It also highlighted the value of having a skilled and versatile core team that can step in and take ownership of critical aspects of each build. Beyond supply chain issues, another consistent challenge lies in translating ambitious architectural concepts into homes that are not only beautiful but also structurally sound, functional, and fully compliant with ever-evolving building regulations.As a builder focused on one-of-a-kind, design-led homes, Mink Building Group is often tasked with bringing bold visions to life on paper and transforming them into real-world spaces that meet stringent codes and standards. “On paper, you can draw anything,” Minkus says.“But we must make sure it’s buildable and complies with all regulations. It still needs to function as a home and meet code, all while preserving the design integrity. That’s a big part of what we do.” This often requires detailed coordination with architects and engineers, as well as early-stage planning to identify and resolve potential structural or compliance issues before construction begins. The team’s ability to bridge the gap between aesthetic ambition and technical execution is one of the defining strengths of the business, ensuring clients get homes that are not only stunning but also enduring, safe, and built to last. CROSS-SECTOR COLLABORATION In addition to its core residential focus, Mink Building Group benefits from a strategic partnership with Aesthetic Building, a family-run commercial façade company co-owned by the Minkus brothers. This dual-business model provides the team with added flexibility, technical expertise, and access to a broader range of materials and methods that are not typically found in custom home building. It’s a unique advantage that enriches its residential work while also opening the door to select commercial opportunities. “We have another company that handles commercial façade works,” Minkus says. “We collaborate across both businesses, and it helps us execute commercial projects and bring some of that knowledge into our residential builds.” This crossover between sectors enables Mink Building Group to leverage innovations, efficiencies, and techniques from commercial construction, often adapting them to meet the bespoke demands of 33 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 07 MINK BUILDING GROUP
