2021 DISPLAY HOME OF THE YEAR - WINNER

Interest around the Excellence in Housing Awards has been growing significantly in recent years; the Master Builders Association of NSW has been recognising and celebrating the best Display Homes in the state through its Awards programme for several years, and with this Award category continuing to attract great interest with a record number of entries, in 2020, the MBA introduced a new major award ‘Display Home of the Year’.

This first major accolade was awarded to Firstyle Homes for their Norwood / Delta design. So, we thought we would take the opportunity to sit down and talk to Pat Romano, General Manager from Firstyle Homes about their major success at the 2020 awards. 

Pat, firstly congratulations on your success at the 2020 Excellence in Housing Awards, how does it feel to be the winner of the first ever Display Home of the Year?

Everyone was extremely humbled and honored to receive the award. Receiving a major accolade within such a competitive category is not easy, so we are mostly so proud of all our brilliant Firstyle team for making this achievement happen.

What is Firstyle Homes story and how did they get to become an award-winning business?

Firstyle Homes is a family business, first established by Romeo and Domenic Tamburri in 1996. Since then, the company has continued to maintain an outstanding reputation within the building industry. We specialise in residential construction projects, including single and double store homes, duplex, dual living, and ranch designs as well as house and land packages and we build throughout metropolitan Sydney, the Central Coast, Southern Highlands, and Newcastle.
We have been a member of the MBA since 2008, regularly engage in award programmes, and we are so proud to be an industry leading award winning building company.

How many staff does it take to operate Firstyle Homes?

Our team consists of over 80 high achieving full time staff plus over 100 subcontractors, and we are so thankful for their contribution and for helping us achieve such a fantastic award. 

So after all of your success in 2020, how is 2021 looking for Firstyle Homes?

We are very excited about the prospect of 2021! Firstyle Homes is on track to have an extraordinary year ahead, record sales, biggest build quota and a roll out of 10 new display homes are our plans for 2021. 

A hugely successful 2020 for Firstyle Homes, is set to be topped by an even busier 2021, and we can’t wait to see Firstyle Homes achieving even bigger milestones.
