The HIA-CSR Hunter Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards recognise excellence in the construction, design, innovation and technology of residential houses, kitchens and bathrooms from across the Hunter and Central Coast regions. The winners of this year’s awards were announced in October with Len Pro Building being awarded one of the housing industry’s highest recognitions, as HIA-CSR Hunter Home of the Year.

This year’s awards saw a considerable number of winners, including Hunter Home of the Year, from a much lower price point than in previous years. In recent times there hasn’t been a Home of the Year winner awarded from outside the Custom Built Home categories. However this year’s winner was a renovation / addition project in the $250,001 - $400,000 price point. This finalist beat projects that were priced into the millions and as the judges said “…this project stands head and shoulders above all other finalists”.

Other major winners on the night, included Martin Project Homes for ‘Display Home of the Year’, Booker Constructions for ‘Custom Built Home of the Year’, Yarrum Designer Homes for ‘Project Home of the Year’, Vogue Kitchens Australia for ‘Bathroom Project of the Year’ and Active Kitchens & Joinery for ‘Kitchen Project of the Year’.

Overall winners in major categories will now represent the HIA Hunter region at the HIA-CSR Australian Housing Awards to compete for national titles against winners from other HIA Regions.
