The coveted 2023 HIA-CSR NSW Home of the Year award went to Chateau Architects + Builders for their build which the judges described as; ‘dynamic, grand, and vibrant’. The same home also took out the Custom Built Home of the Year category.
Kitchen of the Year was again taken out by Studio Minosa and Panache Kitchens and Bathroom of the Year by Intacon Australia.
The HIA NSW Roger Pysden Apprentice of the Year went to Sarah Starbuck. " Sarah has demonstrated unwavering commitment to her carpentry course, workplace skills and learning. Her hunger to learn and give everything a go has earned her the respect of her peers and mentor," said Mr Bare.

Eden Brae Homes won the Professional Major Builder award with Better Built Homes taking out Professional Medium Builder. Blue Eco Homes won the Professional Small Builder award for the fourth year in a row.
Eden Brae Homes also took out the Work Health and Safety award. A good reminder that this October is Safe Work Month, and it's the perfect opportunity for the industry to reflect, regroup, and have a focus on site in day-to-day discussions on workplace safety.
Bronxx took out Apartment Complex of the Year. The Renovation / Addition Project of the year was awarded to Sydney Beach Homes and Townhouse / Villa of the Year went to Grand Pacific Homes.
“Congratulations to all this year’s winners and finalists for outstanding achievements in workmanship, innovation and design. The winners of major categories can look forward to progressing to HIA’s national awards next year and I wish them every success,” concluded Mr Bare.

Building approvals for houses in Canberra have hit yet another a new low, with 2024 recording the lowest number for a twelve-month period (680) since records were first published in 1970.
The NSW Government has recently published amendments to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021. The changes include the deferral of some fire safety requirements and a range of housekeeping amendments.
“Residential building approvals in 2024 increased from the decade low seen in 2023 but were nowhere near the levels needed to meet underlying demand for housing,” stated HIA Economist, Maurice Tapang.
