"Abstract Developments: Always Unique" - Business Vancouver Island
VICTORIA - Every project Mike Miller creates is a "one-off".
"I never want to do the same thing twice," says the owner of Abstract Developments Inc. "Where some might want to save a buck, I'd rather spend an extra buck." For Miller, each project is like a work of art, and that attitude helped earn five Silver CARE Awards from the Canadian Home Builders Association this year.
