A new family home in Sumner and an extensive renovation in Westmorland have been named this year’s finest Canterbury homes, winning Supreme Awards in the Canterbury Registered Master Builders 2014 House of the Year.
Chris Beer Construction took out five regional awards, including a Gold Award and category win for the Westpac New Homes over $2 million, as well as the Craftsmanship Award, Plumbing World Bathroom Excellence Award and the Canterbury Registered Master Builders Supreme Award for the 2014 House of the Year.
NZ Mainco was awarded the Canterbury Registered Master Builders Supreme Award for the 2014 Renovation of the Year, as well as a Gold Award and overall category win for the ITM Renovation Award $250,000 – $500,000.
The judges applauded Chris Beer Construction for overcoming a wide range of challenges to create a flawless finished product.
“This build was first started about 400 metres from the epicentre of the February 22 earthquake, and the team subsequently suffered the aftermath of damaged structure and restricted access,” they said.
“In spite of numerous challenges, the skill of the builder and his ability to work through problems has led to a build of extremely high quality. The juxtaposition of tilt slab and extensive timber was incredibly well detailed, and the workmanship throughout the home should be commended.”
NZ Mainco’s winning home impressed judges who said this complete renovation was carried out by a skilled and competent builder who has set the standard for project management on an extremely difficult site.
“Responding to a brief to strengthen the home against weather conditions and natural disasters, the builder excelled in transposing the original build into a robust, modern home,” they said.
“With upgrades to the kitchen, living area and bedrooms, this was an extensive renovation. The builder can be proud of creating a home that the owners were absolutely delighted with.”
The results were announced at a gala dinner on Friday, 1 August at Wigram Airforce Museum. The event was attended by members of the local building industry and the Canterbury Registered Master Builders.
There were 24 Gold Award winners from Canterbury which will now be assessed alongside Gold Award winners from across the country to find the National Gold Reserve finalists, which will be announced in early 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.
