Lindsay Frew Constructions has been awarded one of the housing industry’s highest recognitions, as HIA-CSR Hunter Home of the Year.
The winner was announced at the HIA-CSR Hunter Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards at Western Suburbs Leagues Club on Saturday night, before a crowd of local industry leaders and peers from across the Hunter and Central Coast regions.
Judged by industry professionals, the awards acknowledge the talent of designers, builders, suppliers and manufacturers who plan and construct quality new homes, townhouses, renovations, kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor projects.
Located on the Central Coast the 2015 Hunter Home of the Year had earlier in the evening taken out the ‘Custom Built Home of the Year and the Bathroom of the Year awards’. The judges said that against strong competition this spectacular custom built home espouses attention to detail.
“A great example of superb workmanship, brilliant design and clever choices of new and recycled materials,” the judges said. “The exposed, weathered headland made for a very difficult building site, however the finished house provides a strong sense of tranquility and peace.”
HIA Hunter Executive Director Craig Jennion congratulated Lindsay Frew Constructions and all Hunter Award winners and finalists.
“The HIA-CSR Hunter Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards recognise the craftsmanship and excellence of HIA members,” Craig said.
Other significant winners on the night, included McDonald Jones Homes for Display Home of the Year, G.J. Gardner Homes Newcastle for Project Home of the Year, Sean Richards Building for Renovation/Addition Project of the Year, Vogue Kitchens Australia for Bathroom Project of the Year and Active Kitchens & Joinery for Kitchen Project of the Year.
“HIA is delighted with the exceptional quality of entries and level of competition this year. All winners and finalists should be proud to have reached the pinnacle of building standards demonstrated in these entrants,” Craig continued.
“‘Each year an exceptional calibre of entries is presented, a reflection of the hard work and dedication HIA Hunter region members continue to display. From sustainable initiatives to incredible workmanship, these homes are remarkable and we are proud to call these entrants HIA members.”
Overall winners in major categories will now represent the HIA Hunter region at the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards in 2016 to compete for national titles against winners from other HIA Regions.
