“Being recognized by the HIA for the tenth time highlights the consistency and quality that underpins everything we do, from innovative design to exceptional customer service.”
“These awards celebrate the strength of our teams and the quality of our homes.
“They reflect our continued commitment to innovation, craftsmanship and delivering homes that Australians truly love.
“None of this would be possible without the support of our valued business partners, dedicated craftsmen and loyal customers who continue to trust us to bring their dream home to life.”

“There are some really strong contenders for national awards here, I think.
“There’s a lot of innovation there and a lot of high-quality work, and we’re finally catching up to other states in terms of the amount of money the customer has to spend.

“We’ve always been carried away by the fact that people weren’t spending as much as in the eastern states, but now people have more equity in their homes or are making more money, whereas $1 million construction was rare five years ago and $2 and $3 million construction was not uncommon.”
The more than 300 entries were judged by a jury of 25 judges.
