Top 100 builds announced as best of the best


One hundred of the best builds in New Zealand have been named as National Gold Reserve Finalists in the Registered Master Builders 2016 House of the Year. 

David Kelly, Chief Executive of the Registered Master Builders Association says the 100 homes are well-deserving of being National finalists, with many celebrated for their unique features and innovative designs.

“We have some remarkable homes named as this year’s National finalists. House of the Year recognises quality craftsmanship from all over New Zealand and from across the sector, from cost effective builds through to luxury homes. As the building boom continues the competition recognises what is possible,” he says.

“Our builders consistently demonstrate excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail to ensure better homes, better workplaces, and ultimately better lives for all New Zealanders.

“One home was built as a traditional log cabin using locally sourced logs and one is a renovation that barely survived the Canterbury earthquakes – it was initially to be demolished, and now is a work of art.”

The Gold Reserve National Finalists represent the top entrants from this year’s regional competitions, which were held in July and August. They will now be re-judged by the national judging panel to find the National Supreme House of the Year and National Supreme Renovation of the Year. 

Finalists also have the opportunity to win one of the 12 National category awards, as well as separate awards for four lifestyle categories.

National winners will be announced at a gala dinner in Auckland on Saturday 26 November. 

“We are extremely proud to run an event that celebrates the incredible talent and passion of New Zealand’s building and construction industry,” David adds.

The Awards are made possible through the support of PlaceMakers, Master Build Services, GIB, Nulook, Future-Proof Building, Carters, Plumbing World, Resene and Bunnings Trade.
