Brayden’s ability to clearly articulate his achievements and industry goals impressed the judges. ”His communication skills, work ethic and attitude make him a true asset,” the judges commented. The award is partnered by Stratco.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) Awards were announced on 23 April in front of an audience of industry leaders and home builders at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.
JW Constructions (Qld) won the highest award being named the winner of the 2022 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year for a skillfully designed home that is perfectly positioned to take advantage of a river frontage.
The understated street frontage reveals open-plan living at its best. Each room flows effortlessly, intuitively connecting the indoors and out. The combination of board-formed concrete paired with warm wood-grained accents creates an inviting interior. Outside, natural greenery drapes elegantly from the expansive upper-level gardens, a verdant and tranquil contrast to the angular lines of the home.
The judges were unanimous that the attention to detail in the home is outstanding. The quality of finishes, building construction and workmanship is flawless. The home also won HIA Australian Custom Built Home, partnered by Beacon Lighting.
HIA’s Managing Director Graham Wolfe said the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards recognise the best in Australia’s residential building industry.
“HIA is committed to recognising the outstanding achievements of our members. The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards allow us to acknowledge the skill and commitment of our members who excel in building exceptional homes, kitchens and bathrooms and have highly successful businesses.
“The workmanship of Award winners is exceptional; demonstrated in projects that push the boundaries in design and innovation. It is my absolute pleasure to congratulate each winner for their hard work and commitment to excellence.
“My congratulations also goes to our future tradespeople – our apprentices – who strive to be the best in all their pursuits. And to the professional builders and business partners who are ahead of the game in customer service, design and innovation, building quality and business practices,” Mr Wolfe added.
The HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards are 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 23 separate categories.

State Budget is a missed opportunity to stimulate housing

HIA supports bipartisan approach to planning reform NSW
