AVID Developments has won the highly coveted title of 2024 HIA Australian Professional Major Builder before an audience of industry leaders at the prestigious 2024 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards held in Cairns.
AVID Developments has evolved into a highly disciplined company with a mission to create connected communities for owner-occupiers. The data driven building company has real time line-of-sight over every aspect of its operations, generating ongoing capital efficiencies and quality outcomes for customers. The award is partnered by Companion Systems.
With a team of 148 professionals, they cater to young families and provide quality finishes and liveable floorplans. The business prides itself on affordable homes and reduced construction timeline.
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 the sophisticated build.
Judges were impressed with the meticulous detail and execution. 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 that 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."
Ms Martin also acknowledged the aspiring tradespeople of tomorrow - the apprentices - who are constantly striving to better themselves in their chosen fields and congratulated the professional builders and small businesses who are setting the bar high in areas like customer service, design, innovation, building quality, and overall business practices.
"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.
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 22 separate categories including Professional Builders, display home, apprentice, bathrooms and kitchens.
