Display Home Builder of the Year

The Master Builders Association of NSW has been recognising and celebrating the best Display Homes in the State through its Excellence in Housing Awards for several decades. This Award category has continued to attract great interest, and this year the Association received a record number of entries. 

Display Homes provide potential customers the opportunity to experience whether a home is suitable to their needs and requirements, and recognition of the contractors who construct homes in this most important sector of the industry. This award category is unique in nature, and with the increasing interest in this sector of the industry, the MBA believes this is the perfect time to introduce a new major award ‘Display Home Builder of the Year’.

We are extremely excited to be launching this major award at the 2020 Excellence in Housing Awards and look forward to announcing our first winner.

 

Sincerely,
Brian Seidler
Executive Director
Master Builders Association of NSW
