The best of the Riverina’s residential building industry were celebrated at the 2026 HIA Riverina Housing Awards in Wagga Wagga this evening.
Jamie Carroll Constructions received the prestigious HIA Riverina Home of the Year for an outstanding 8-star energy-rated home combining sustainable, high-performance living with refined design and quality workmanship.
Designed to provide year-round comfort with minimal energy use, the home features a striking monochrome exterior, twin-gabled form and carefully considered material palette. Close collaboration between the builder and clients ensured every detail balanced thermal performance, functionality and design.
Jamie Carroll Constructions also received GreenSmart Sustainable Home of the Year for the project.
“This is an extraordinary example of the remarkable quality and workmanship available in the Riverina and is a great testament to Jamie Carroll Constructions,” said Geordan Murray, HIA Executive Director – ACT and Southern NSW.
Duncan Construct received the Renovation/Addition of the Year award for thoughtfully transforming a characterful older dwelling into a spacious, functional and contemporary family home. The project included a substantial ground-floor extension, new first-floor living space, a large alfresco area, garage addition and updated roof form, while respecting the character of the original residence.
Kitchen of the Year was awarded to Harrison’s Joinery for a sophisticated and highly functional kitchen designed as the heart of a busy family home. Deep chocolate cabinetry, scalloped overhead cupboards, bronze shadow lines and precision stone detailing are complemented by a generous island and adjoining butler’s pantry.
TG Homes received both Bathroom of the Year and Bathroom Design for a luxurious bathroom featuring four-metre-high ceilings, warm-toned travertine tiles, soft arched doorways and a striking fluted stone bath. The judges recognised the bathroom’s calming colour palette and resort-style feel.
“The Awards celebrated the skills, innovation and professionalism found throughout the Riverina’s residential building industry,” added Mr Murray.
“The quality of this year’s winning projects demonstrates the depth of talent we have across the Riverina.
“From highly energy-efficient homes and carefully integrated renovations to outstanding kitchens and bathrooms, these projects showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that HIA members bring to their work.
“Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. Being recognised at the HIA Awards is an outstanding achievement and reflects the commitment of the builders, designers, tradespeople, suppliers and clients involved in bringing each project to life,” Mr Murray concluded.

Minimum trust tax a new tax on tradies
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) is warning that the Federal Government's proposed minimum tax on family trusts would amount to a new tax on tradies, builders and small family businesses, while creating costly business disruptions that would divert attention away from building the homes Australia desperately needs.
CBOS has split in two: who to contact now
From 1 October 2026, CBOS no longer exists as a single agency. The Tasmanian Government has split its work between two regulators, Building Standards Tasmania (BST) and Consumer Affairs Tasmania (CAT).
HIA remembers Kevin Brock
It is with great sadness that I advise of the passing of HIA Life Member Kevin Brock, aged 87.
Come walk a day in the shoes of small business
Before introducing another tax, another reporting requirement, another compliance obligation or another cost increase, HIA is calling on government ministers and policymakers to spend a day in the shoes of a small business owner.
