HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards
The 2015 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards were unveiled on Friday 22 May at the residential building industry’s prestigious awards ceremony at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre. The ultimate platform to showcase the talents of the nation’s top builders and designers, winners are selected from state-based finalists, with awards in 21 separate categories.
HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year is the top accolade, and this year it has been presented to Western Australian builder Gransden Construction. The project also won the award for the Australian Custom Built Home of the Year, partnered by Stramit Building Products. The judges were impressed with the execution of the build and the material combination, describing this home as an exemplary masterpiece.
Other award winners are widespread across Australia.
Strongbuild from NSW also won Australian Special Purpose Housing Project of the Year, partnered by HIA Vehicles for the Arbour Retirement Village in Berry. Described as a unique country experience for all residents, each home reflects the attention to detail of a one-off, bespoke build. The Australian Renovation/Addition Project of the Year award went to Spacemaker Home Extensions from Victoria, partnered by HIA Insurance Services. The judges applauded the spacious ground floor living area, which opens up to a north-facing alfresco area — making for stylish year-round entertaining.
HIA is Australia’s peak building industry body representing more than 40,000 builders, suppliers and contractors involved in residential construction. Managing Director Shane Goodwin said the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are the pinnacle of housing awards and reflect the increasingly diverse and competitive Australian housing industry.
Judged by industry professionals, the awards acknowledge the talent of builders, designers and building companies who plan and construct quality new housing, apartments, renovations, kitchens and bathrooms.
