The awards were announced on 17 May in Melbourne before an audience of industry leaders and home building consumers.
JOSCON Tasmania was named the prestigious HIA Australian Start-up Business, partnered by American Express Australia.
Founded in 2021, JOSCON Tasmania has a clear mission: to make a positive impact on everyone they work with - from staff and trades to suppliers and clients. In just a few years, the business has developed a strong identity and sense of purpose.
With a commitment to open communication and sustainable growth, the team conducts regular strategic planning sessions to track performance, align on goals, and drive informed decision-making across all levels of the business.
Queensland’s Sarah Waller Building won the highest residential building award bestowed each year, being named 2025 HIA-CSR Australian Home of the Year. Set across subtle cascading levels on a sprawling acreage, the contemporary, pavilion-style home blends bold architectural design and functional living.
Its striking aesthetic is defined by raw off-form concrete and black timber cladding, creating a dramatic yet refined façade. Inside, a sophisticated monochromatic palette enhances the transitions between each distinct zone.
Designed for multi-generational living, the home incorporates a fully self-contained studio, multiple alfresco areas, and expansive windows that frame breathtaking views of the natural surroundings. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a home that is both luxurious and liveable.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin congratulated the 2025 HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards winners and praised their remarkable achievements.
“Each year thousands of projects are entered into our Awards program. To be shortlisted as an Australian finalist is a huge achievement, but to be one of the 23 winners means you’re at the pinnacle of residential building.
"HIA Awards are our way of recognising the exceptional talent within our membership. We’re talking about members who not only build extraordinary homes, kitchens, and bathrooms but also run incredibly successful businesses. The winning projects redefine what's possible in terms of design and innovation, setting new standards for the industry."
Ms Martin also acknowledged the apprentices who are constantly striving to better themselves in their chosen fields. “The judges always have to make a tough decision from a strong field of finalists, and this year was no exception.
"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 23 separate categories. The Awards are partnered by leading building products company CSR.
