Founded in 1968 by Michael’s Father, M J Atkinson Constructions changed its name to MiRok Pty Ltd in 2020. MiRok is the culmination of two generations of carpenters with a passion for building and restoring homes.
Michael always knew that he wanted to be a carpenter just like his Father. Michael had spent many years as a highly skilled carpenter before becoming a registered building practitioner. Michael oversees all aspects of the build with an innate understanding of every step of the building and development process. From the initial planning and design process, through the build to its final stages Michael is passionate about providing an outstanding finished product.
Michael is a craftsman with a keen eye for detail and is driven to provide the best product possible for his clients.
Inspired by design and creating timeless, unique homes Michael strives to create beautiful and lasting homes.
Michael has built up strong relationships with his contractors and suppliers, which is essential when producing a quality product. One of these is with Moorabbin Timber/Mitre 10 who has been supplying the business with timber/building products for 40+ years.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
I write this reference with great pleasure. Michael Atkinson and I worked together on a house renovation project for my client Catherine Swan in Frankston South recently and he proved the old adage that care, talent and commitment will always produce a fabulous result.
My client and I had worked together on a previous project (with her late husband) so this was a test for our ‘new’ builder, Michael, to join a successful team and make it even better – which he did in spades.
I like keeping a watchful eye on buildings under construction, not only to see them become what I designed, but mainly to enjoy the camaraderie and skills of talented builders. With Michael that is an easy and enjoyable task.
His site work is excellent, I think because he has a steady eye for detail, and perhaps in no small part because his father, also a builder, taught him well. He is fussy in a good way and attracts like-minded tradespeople around him who maintain that attitude. He can adjust plans when necessary, without a wink and things get done in good time.
Like most builders, he is duty-bound to plan ahead and manage the contract works, which he does seamlessly, his follow up and attention to administrative issues is faultless.
In addition to the professionalism he provides, Michael is a thoroughly decent human being, reliable and consistent. It has been a absolute pleasure working with him and I look forward to more successful explorations in the future.
After a conversation with my nephew-an electrician-who stated that Michael was the only builder he would recommend to carry out my renovations, I contacted Michael.
From the start I found Michael to be very approachable and accessible, very helpful in guiding me through the renovation process, with very good communication in terms of the steps that were happening, the time frame, and a great team of tradespeople. Michael has always been very professional, ethical, and focused on my needs as a customer. This has followed through to any queries after the job was completed. I am absolutely thrilled with the work done by Michael and his team, and very grateful for the way in which he conducts his business.
As a retired builder, i was looking for someone pretty special to build our renovation. Michael and his team went above and beyond to meet our expectations. His craftsmanship, knowledge and expertise are invaluable. His choice in contractors were spot on and we couldn’t be happier with our final product. Michael is an excellent communicator and we highly recommend Mirok for your next build.
I have known Michael Atkinson since 2012. During that time, Michael has built several successful & high-end architectural projects in collaboration with our office across a variety of budgets and sizes.
In his role as builder, I have observed Michael skilfully undertake a wide range of work including, communicating with the client/project team, tendering, project programming, managing sub-contractors, and working within time and budget constraints to deliver outstanding results.
I am impressed by Michael’s knowledge and passion for building, his strong work ethic and the attention to detail he demonstrates on all projects.
Michael is an excellent communicator with an engaging personal style very well suited to collaborating in the team setting required by construction projects. In addition to maintaining a clean and tidy work site he also establishes an efficient, positive and inclusive workplace.
I have no hesitation in recommending him and look forward to working together on future projects.
Michael is professional, reliable and approachable. Michael took the time to work through our project with us and made sure that we always knew what was happening. His attention to detail is first rate we couldn’t be happier with the results of his and his teams work.
If you are looking for someone who will treat your renovation/build like it is their own, then Michael and his team are the people that you need to work with.
All builders are not the same in terms of price, workmanship, attention to detail, communication, etc., but after using Michael you realise that in all areas he ticks the box. Could not fault him.
Michael’s attention to detail is second to none, which means the end result is a high quality build. He gave us a lot of good ideas during the renovation process and is always trying to get you the best possible outcomes. We would not hesitate to use him again for future work.
Michael is such a reliable builder whose work is of an excellent quality; he has such a high level of commitment to the job. He is punctual and present. He has great ideas and was happy to talk through our ideas, so we came to the best outcome. We will definitely work with Michael again.
On recommendation from a friend, we engaged Michael Atkinson of MiRok to undertake a significant period-home restoration and extension to our house in Elwood. The extent of the project could not be underestimated, as it involved a heritage listed home which ideally would have been demolished. There were technical / council issues which had to be managed, and the odd surprise along the way.
Michael understood the brief perfectly and delivered us an exquisite home we have enjoyed for several years. His easy going manner and practical approach to problem solving meant we were never concerned that any issues wouldn’t be addressed. Michael was always quick to update us as to progress, and would give us plenty of notice as the next phase of the build approached. We were never left in the dark and always had complete confidence in Michael both as a builder and as a project manager.
Michael’s ability to restore the Victorian half of the original house to a breath-taking standard was only surpassed by the manner in which he delivered the 60’s twist of our rear extension and pool area. He liaised so professionally with our interior designer, town planner, all sub-contractors, and frankly the end product speaks for itself. Described as one of the best houses in Elwood, we absolutely love it, and it all came down to giving it the “MiRok touch”.
We have now commenced a new project with MiRok.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone who wants a quality finish from a quality craftsman.
We had Michael and his team renovate areas of our house. Michael provided assistance in relation to design and construction considerations. He was very straight up and professional in nature with a can do attitude. We are also very happy with the outcome being that I am fussy, with an attention to detail. We have no hesitations recommending MiRok as a building company.
Thanks for the opportunity to give feedback regarding our experience in engaging Mirok to renovate our family home.
From our very first meeting to the completion of the build Michael and his team were very professional and easy to work with, we were able to make changes and adjustments along the way without any problems.
Both Michelle and I are absolutely proud and happy with our newly renovated family home that has been built with precision and quality workmanship , our family and friends who come to visit are amazed at the transformation from the old house to our new home.
Michelle and I would highly recommend using Mirok for any project, we found Michael and his team to be very professional, trustworthy, approachable and over all a very enjoyable experience.
