Gold Reserves revealed in premier building
awards
National Gold Reserve finalists have been
announced in the Registered Master Builders PlaceMakers 2011
House of the Year and RMB Commercial Project Awards.
The Gold Reserve medal winners represent the top
entrants in this year's competition, with finalists selected
from 14 regional competitions held throughout New Zealand
during June, July and August.
The finalists will now
vie for New Zealand's top three building honours -
PlaceMakers Supreme Awards for the House of the Year and
Renovation of the Year; and the RMB Commercial Project of
the Year.
Registered Master Builders Federation Chief
Executive Warwick Quinn says this year's competition has
shown superb levels of building excellence from around New
Zealand.
"The quality of workmanship seen throughout
the country is truly outstanding, builders are taking pride
in their work and this is reflected in the quality of the
finalists," he says.
"Exceptional quality is vital
right across the building industry, not just in competitions
like ours, and with the Christchurch rebuild and leaky home
remediation there is no room for quick fixes that won't
stand the test of time."
Principal sponsor John
Beveridge, Chief Executive of PlaceMakers, says he is proud
to support the competition in its 21st year.
"I would
like to congratulate all of the Gold Reserve finalists
despite some very tough times in the building and
construction industry over the past few years.
"Each
of you symbolise the very best in standards of building and
craftsmanship. You represent the pinnacle of building
excellence for this industry and we are proud to celebrate
with you your commitment to showcase such talent."
The
finalists' projects will now be re-judged over the next few
months, before the National Category Winners and Supreme
Award winners are announced at a gala dinner in Auckland on
Saturday 19 November.
The Awards are made possible
through the support of principal sponsor PlaceMakers and
supporting sponsors James Hardie, Gib Living®, Pink®
Batts® Ultra® (Tasman Insulation), Nulook, and the
Department of Building and Housing.
