“The HIA awards program is seen as a demonstration of the local building industry’s commitment to their clients and the home buying public by delivering homes with the highest standard of workmanship,” Shane stated.
“The winning projects are second-to-none and reveal the top quality homes being built in far north Queensland. Winners can be truly proud of their achievements,” he concluded.
MiHaven’s Eric Latham was awarded North Queensland Apprentice of the Year whilst MiHaven also took home three awards for Townhouse/Villa of the Year, Specialised Housing of the Year and Townhouse/Villa Development in their first year entering the awards.
