HIA Australian Emerging Builder was won by Chris Guilbert from Tenfold Homes. Leveraging over 15 years of experience, Chris built a fully systemised business that delivers premium custom homes with transparency and precision. His leadership has transformed Tenfold Homes from a renovation specialist to a recognised boutique builder. This category is partnered by Ariston.
The Rural Building Co won HIA Australian Project Home with a thoughtfully designed home that offers a peaceful retreat blending rural charm with modern functionality. The elevation evokes a classic Australian aesthetic, with bush pole supports, corrugated steel accents, and a generous verandah that extends into a spacious alfresco - perfect for relaxed outdoor living. This category is partnered by James Hardie.
Queensland’s Mactech Constructions was awarded the industry’s highest honour, being named the 2026 HIA Australian Home of the Year. Perched on one of the Gold Coast’s most exposed cliff edges, the five-level residence artfully resolves extreme site conditions into a refined vertical home, complete with wellness retreat, rooftop pool and helipad. Precision detailing, acoustic separation and integrated services deliver a robust yet elegantly crafted coastal landmark. HIA Australian Home of the Year is partnered by CSR.
HIA Managing Director Jocelyn Martin congratulated the 2026 HIA Australian Housing Awards winners and praised their remarkable achievements.

“The winning projects redefine what's possible in terms of innovation; they’re setting new benchmarks for the industry.
“It’s not only outstanding homes we’ve recognised tonight; we’ve also acknowledged remarkable members who are excelling in business management in our Professional Builder Awards, along with our Emerging Builder from Western Australia and our exceptional apprentices.
"It is my absolute pleasure to congratulate each winner for their commitment to excellence," Ms Martin concluded.
The HIA 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 24 separate categories. The Awards are partnered by leading building products company CSR.
