Join us as we meet with Miles Terry, Vice President of Terry Homes and the Kalispell Chamber’s 2025 Rising Star. As the VP of Terry Homes, a family-owned homebuilder that's been building homes in the Flathead for over 30 years, Miles discusses how a family builder can deliver attainable, high-quality homes without cutting corners—and his answer blends grit, data, and community.
Miles takes us from early job site memories and into a modernization push that rethinks homebuilding from the studs to the software. He breaks down a closed-loop purchase order system, a 400-point quality and conditions inspection platform that slashes warranty claims, and customer-facing innovations like 3D photos, a home visualizer, and self-guided tours. We talk about the gap between construction costs and local wages, and why predictable, transparent permitting is essential for builders to plan responsibly and keep prices within reach. We also dive into leadership, tech modernization and the future of housing.
If you care about attainable housing, construction tech, or how policy and industry can work together to serve real families in the Flathead Valley, this conversation offers insights from a rising star in the Flathead.
