Gold Coast builder Mactech Constructions win top award for local home

Media release

Gold Coast builder Mactech Constructions win top award for local home

Media release
Mactech Constructions wins the 2025 HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Home of the Year for a five-level residence positioned on one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic coastal sites.

The result was announced in front of an audience of South-East Queensland’s leading residential builders, designers and manufacturers.

Mactech Constructions’ aptly named Cloudbreak provides an outstanding example of how to deliver the privacy and permanence of a standalone residence while resolving the challenges of dual occupancy living.

Cloudbreak stands as a benchmark in coastal residential design, balancing ambition with enduring liveability. 

In a huge night for the company Mactech Constructions won a total of ten awards, and will now compete at the HIA Queensland Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards.
2025 HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Home of the Year is partnered by local supplier Finlayson's Timber and Hardware.

HIA recognised further outstanding projects and businesses on the night:

David Radic Prestige Homes won the 2025 HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Custom Built Home for a Broadbeach Waters residence which is a statement of ultra-modern luxury and architectural ambition. Every level is thoughtfully planned, combining refined interiors with resort-style amenity to create a residence designed for both lifestyle and impact.

Perry Homes won the 2025 HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Display Home for a two-storey family home that blends generous proportions with refined design. Featuring four bedrooms and three living areas, it balances private retreats with shared social spaces. The Palms presents a stylish, functional and welcoming home for modern family living.

Wood Marble & White won the 2025 HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers Kitchen Design for a kitchen which was relocated to improve flow and functionality. A new servery window boosts indoor-outdoor connection, while materials such as micro-cement, hand-built stone and aged walnut-look cabinetry evoke a Mediterranean feel: warm, textural and grounded. 

Kenins Group were awarded the inaugural HIA Gold Coast/Northern Rivers People’s Choice Home of the Year –voted favourite by local consumers. The Carrara residence draws on South American influences and modern Hollywood luxury to create a striking waterfront home.

HIA Queensland Executive Director Michael Roberts said, “This year’s awards once again demonstrate the remarkable quality of design and workmanship available in the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers region. Mactech Constructions should be very proud of this year’s win, taking home the top prize in a hotly contested competition. 

“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.

“Winners of major categories can look forward to progressing to HIA’s Queensland Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards on 14 November and I wish them every success,” concluded Mr Roberts
