“It’s a credit to the industry in WA that we are producing so many homes at a high standard in price points from $150,000 to over $2 million,” he said. “The awards offer home buyers the opportunity to find a quality builder of display or custom homes that can meet their budget in their region.” Other winners on the night included GreenShore Builders, which won Best Alterations and Additions, Grandwood Homes (Best Display Home) and Smart Homes for Living – part of Ventura Homes Group – which won the Project Builder of the Year. The sought-after Bankwest Best Customer Service Awards were won by Blueprint Homes in the volume-project builder category, Right Homes (small-medium builder) and Brikmakers (supplier).
Genesis Homes Master Builders won the prestigious Best New Builder award.
“The winners of the customer service awards all received strong positive reports from their clients, which is always a great barometer of their performance,” Master Builders’ director Michael McLean said. Others to take home major prizes included Genesis Homes Master Builders (Best New Builder) and Wholagan Building Inspiration (Best Country Home). Award entrants were judged by the 25 member judging panel solely on workmanship, including structural integrity, internal and external brickwork and/or render finishing, floor and wall tiling, roof alignment and cabinet making. A number of the winners will compete in the Master Builders Australia national awards in Canberra in November where WA has enjoyed considerable success in recent years.
