Excelcon has won the prestigious 2022 HIA Eastern Victoria Home of the Year award for a spectacular build with a high degree of difficulty in Mount Martha.
The result was announced at the 2022 HIA Eastern Victoria Regional Housing Awards, held at the RACV Cape Schanck Resort on Friday 16 September.
Located on a steep, challenging site in Mount Martha, the winning home was designed and project managed in-house by Excelcon. The clever design moves down the slope across multiple levels, minimising deep excavation.
Inside, extensive glazing maximises natural light and stunning bay views, and the levels are joined by a feature open-tread staircase with frameless glass balustrade. The judges remarked on the very high standard of work all trades have displayed in the build of this home, as well as the many detailed elements featured.
Excellent workmanship, and the expertise displayed by the builder in designing and managing this complex build, are just some of the factors that lead the judges to select this project as Eastern Victoria Home of the Year.
“This is a truly outstanding home, and HIA congratulates the entire Excelcon team on this achievement,” says Fiona Nield, HIA Regional Executive Director.
In addition to 2022 HIA Eastern Victoria Home of the Year, this project also won Excelcon the Custom Built Home of the Year and Custom Built Home $1.5 million - $2 million awards.
Other builders who were recognised on the night include:
- Anderson Homes claimed Renovation/Addition Project of the Year and Renovation/Addition Project over $1 million honours for their project in Cape Schanck.
- Beaumont Building Design won the GreenSmart Sustainable Home and Residential Design categories for two separate projects in Cape Paterson.
- Dennis Family Homes, winners of the Display Home of the Year and Display Home over $500,001 awards for their Macedon 334 Hamptons display home in Warragul.

- Latitude 37 Homes received Spec Home of the Year and Spec Home over $500,001 for a spec build in Mount Eliza.

“The HIA Awards are a showcase of the best of the best in the residential building industry, and of the absolutely outstanding quality of work done by HIA members” says Ms Nield. “The homes recognised in the 2022 HIA Eastern Victoria Regional Housing Awards are exceptional, and HIA congratulates all of the winners and finalists.”

Housing targets remain as important as ever
“Housing commencements rose in the year to June 2026, but the latest data reflects yesterday's market, not the conditions facing builders today,” stated HIA Executive Director, Keith Ryan.
Housing target shortfall an $11 billion black hole for states and territories
New data from the Housing Industry Association (HIA) has shone a light on the consequences of Australia falling behind on progress against the National Housing Accord, following the release of today’s ABS building activity data for the first two full years of the 1.2 million homes target.
Could data centres be builders next inflationary hit
Australia’s growing data centre sector is creating a significant new source of construction activity and opportunities for the industry.
Coalition migration measures recognise housing supply depends on workforce capacity
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) has welcomed the Coalition's commitment to a skills-first migration approach and the establishment of a dedicated construction visa strike team, saying the measures recognise the critical role workforce capacity plays in addressing Australia's housing shortage.
