The HIA Australian Housing Awards partnered by CSR is the industry’s night of nights and a highlight of the HIA National Conference. This star-studded gala event brings members together from all over the nation to celebrate the hard work and high achievements of those nominated.
Winning entries from major categories in each region's awards progress to become finalists in the HIA Australian Housing Awards held annually.
Congratulations to Mactech Constructions
The 2026 HIA Australian Housing Awards were announced on 18 April on the Gold Coast, where Queensland’s Mactech Constructions claimed the highest honour, the coveted 2026 HIA Australian Home of the Year, in front of an audience of industry leaders and home building consumers.
Perched on one of the Gold Coast’s most exposed coastal sites, Cloudbreak transforms a challenging cliff edge into a finely tuned vertical residence. One half of a duplex, the five-level home delivers the privacy and permanence of a standalone dwelling, achieved through double wall construction, offset entries and carefully managed orientation to ensure true acoustic separation.
