Waikato Region’s finest homes announced

Waikato Region’s finest homes announced

A new build in Hamilton has been revealed as this year’s top Waikato home, winning a Supreme Award in the Waikato Registered Master Builders 2015 House of the Year.

Euro Construction took out four regional awards with the Hamilton home, including a Gold Award and category win for the PlaceMakers New Home $400,000 - $500,000, as well as the Craftsmanship Award and the Waikato Registered Master Builders Supreme Award for the 2015 House of the Year.

The judges called Euro Construction’s winning build a treasure, with excellent workmanship inside and out.

“Historic precinct planning controls required a very different approach for designing and building this house,” they said.

“It was cleverly designed and built with care and precision, reflecting the period charm of its neighbours.”

The results were revealed at a gala dinner on Friday 24 July at Claudelands Events Centre in Hamilton. The winning builders were recognised by members of the Waikato Registered Master Builders and members of the local building industry.

There were 16 Gold Award winners from the Waikato region which will now be eligible, alongside Gold Award winners from up and down the country, to become National Gold Reserve finalists which will be announced in September.

National category winners and the Registered Master Builders Supreme Awards for Renovation of the Year and House of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner in Auckland in November.

The Awards are made possible through the support of PlaceMakers, Master Build Services, James Hardie, GIB, Nulook, SafetyMate, Carters, ITM, Plumbing World, Resene, Westpac and Mitre 10.
