Media Release: 5 September 2013

National finalists revealed in New Zealand’s premier residential building competition

One hundred homes built by 87 New Zealand builders have been announced as Gold Reserve National Finalists in the Registered Master Builders 2013 House of the Year.

Representing the top entrants in this year’s 11 regional competitions held in July and August, the Gold Reserve National Finalists will now contend for the country’s top residential building honours. The national awards will be announced at a gala dinner in Auckland on 16 November.

With each home, finalists have the opportunity to win one of the 12 national categories, which include renovations, new builds, show homes and builders own homes, as well as four Lifestyle Awards and the two ultimate accolades – the Supreme Awards for the House of the Year and the Renovation of the Year.

Registered Master Builders Federation Chief Executive Warwick Quinn says the House of the Year is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the excellent work undertaken by its members.

“Building excellence is at the heart of everything Registered Master Builders stands for, and this is exhibited through the 100 new homes and renovations built by our members that have been recognised as Gold Reserve National Finalists this year,” he says.

“Our builders take huge pride in their work and bringing their clients’ dreams and aspirations to life. We are proud to recognise and celebrate that.”

The National Gold Reserve Finalists’ properties will now be re-judged over the next few months before the National Category, Lifestyle and Supreme Award winners are announced in November.

The Awards are made possible through the support of PlaceMakers, James Hardie, GIB, Nulook, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Future-Proof Building, Carters, ITM, Plumbing World, Resene and Westpac.

Gordon Campbell: On The Public Sector Carnage, And Misogyny As Terrorism

It’s a simple deal. We pay taxes in order to finance the social services we want and need. The carnage now occurring across the public sector though, is breaking that contract. Over 3,000 jobs have been lost so far. Many are in crucial areas like Education where the impact of losing support staff is either going to fall back on teachers, or result in crucial things being done poorly by the overworked survivors at the Ministry. Similarly, Oranga Tamariki is set to lose nearly 10% of its staff. While OT has problems, a reduction on this scale can only make things worse.

National Maori Authority: Maori Authority Warns Government On Fast Track Legislation

The Chair of the National Maori Authority, Matthew Tukaki, has warned a Parliamentary Select Committee that fast-tracking legislation is a perilous practice that undermines the core tenets of democracy, transparency, and accountability.

NZ Government: Comprehensive Partnership The Goal For NZ And The Philippines

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon held a bilateral meeting with the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. A key outcome of the meeting was the agreement that New Zealand and the Philippines will upgrade their relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership by 2026.

DoC: Canterbury Spotted Skink In Serious Trouble

One of our rarest, seldom-seen skinks is even more threatened than we had thought, with fewer than 1000 mature individuals. An urgent assessment by an expert panel has seen Canterbury spotted skink reclassified from Nationally Vulnerable to Nationally Critical – the last step before extinction.

Te Pāti Māori: Oranga Tamariki Cuts Commit Tamariki To State Abuse

Te Pāti Māori is disgusted at the confirmation that hundreds are set to lose their jobs at Oranga Tamariki, and the disestablishment of the Treaty Response Unit. “This act of absolute carelessness and out of touch decision making is committing tamariki to state abuse.” Said Te Pāti Māori Oranga Tamariki spokesperson, Mariameno Kapa-Kingi.

NZCTU: Inflation Data Shows Need For A Plan On Climate And Population

Data today shows headline CPI inflation at 4%, continuing the fall begun in March 2023. Rises are concentrated in particular sectors – especially services. However, petrol prices rose by 12% from last year. This is worrying as petrol pricing tends to lead inflation data. The faster we can transition to an electric vehicle fleet the better.

Statistics New Zealand: Annual Inflation At 4.0 Percent

New Zealand's consumers price index increased 4.0 percent in the 12 months to the March 2024 quarter, according to figures released by Stats NZ today. The 4.0 percent increase follows a 4.7 percent increase in the 12 months to the December 2023 quarter.
