M+J Builders from Northern Territory won the 2024 HIA Australian Specialised Housing award for a housing development designed for high-dependent Indigenous occupants.
The 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards were announced on 18 May in front of an audience of industry leaders and home building consumers.
The property includes onsite carers' quarters, a private onsite hospital and a central common area for occupants to come together. The development is designed for specialised housing, accessibility and liveability.
Judges noted this project created a benchmark in standard of care. They recognised the thorough attention to the occupants' needs, and exceptional execution and delivery. The builder's dedication to this project's design, documentation and construction is evident in the outstanding results. The category is partnered by Merlin Garage Door Openers.
A majority indigenous owned, family run business founded in 1998, M+J Builders have over 25 years of experience in the building industry. Actively seeking to engage local indigenous trades and services, M+J Builders encourage both talent and supplier diversity, underlying their commitment to closing the gap on indigenous disadvantage.
Victoria’s BCM Homes won the highest residential building award bestowed each year, winning the 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year. Designed and built with an overarching philosophy of balancing aesthetic and environmental response, the home is suspended on the water's edge of an unbelievably steep slope, moulded to the landscape. The low maintenance clad exterior is ideal to withstand the coastal setting. Inside, burnished concrete floors, solid timber and high end finishes complete this sophisticated build.
Judges were impressed with the meticulous detail and execution of the project. With care, attention and uncompromising quality evident at every turn, the home perfectly combines luxury living with a laid back coastal lifestyle. The category is partnered by CSR.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin highlighted the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards celebrate the remarkable achievements of HIA members who are excelling in Australia’s residential building industry.
"At HIA, we're dedicated to giving credit where it's due. HIA Awards are our way of recognising the exceptional talent within our membership. We are talking about members who not only build extraordinary homes, kitchens and bathrooms but also run incredibly successful businesses," Ms Martin emphasised.
"The craftsmanship displayed by our award winners is simply outstanding. Their projects often redefine what's possible in terms of design and innovation, setting new standards for the industry. It brings me immense joy to extend my congratulations to each and every winner for their unwavering dedication to excellence."
"It's truly inspiring to see such dedication and passion across the board. Congratulations to all the winners for their outstanding contributions to the industry," Ms Martin concluded.
