Classic Constructions won the top accolade - the 2024 HIA-CSR ACT and Southern NSW Home of the Year for a Hamptons-style residence which exudes elegance and sophistication.
“Congratulations to all the team at Classic Constructions for winning this year's top award in the region,” said Greg Weller, HIA Executive Director ACT & Southern NSW. “Likewise, congratulations to all our other winners this year.”
“Classic Constructions are a Canberra based family business that have been building homes in the region for four decades.”
“The winning residence is a sprawling five-bedroom, six-bathroom home which showcases a harmonious blend of classic charm and modern luxury, featuring a tennis court, pool, spa, and a golf putting green.”
“The interior is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, with stunning details like coffered ceilings, decorative mouldings, and custom joinery that enhance its timeless appeal.”
“A standout feature is the bespoke Venetian plaster rangehood in the kitchen, complemented by beautifully crafted timber fireplace mantels throughout. The result is a truly opulent haven that perfectly embodies the essence of Hamptons style, making it a dream home for its owners.”
“This is a remarkable example of the exceptional quality and workmanship being done in the ACT and Southern NSW region and is a great testament Classic Constructions,” said Mr Weller
The always popular HIA Apprentice of the Year Award, partnered by Stratco, was taken out by Benjamin Kozak, from Hardwick Projects in Canberra.
“Ben is a skilled carpenter, who draws on his family's trade background and the strong ethical values instilled by his mentors. He is currently also studying a Certificate IV in Building and Construction with aspirations to launch his own building company,” said Mr Weller.
“Not only is Ben showing he has the practical skills needed onsite, but his coursework results through the Canberra Institute of Technology are equally impressive.”
The HIA ACT/Southern NSW People’s Choice Home award as voted by members of the public, was won by Reardon Building Group from Goulburn. Reardon Building Group also took out the Custom Built Home Category $900,000 to $1.1m for the same property, which exuded street appeal. People’s Choice Home is partnered by Big River Trade Centre.
Greg Weller further said, “We’re extremely proud of the work being produced by HIA members and congratulate all the winners and finalists. We are also grateful to the partners who support this vitally important industry.”
The results were announced in front of an audience of leading residential builders, designers and manufacturers at the National Arboretum in Canberra.
The ACT and Southern NSW regional awards take in entries from the South Coast, Riverina, Southern Tablelands, Southwest Slopes, Snowy Mountains and Canberra.
