Registered Master Builders House of the Year Regional Awards 2018 Judges loved our clients’ homes.
It’s turning out to be a vintage year for Design Builders at the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Regional Awards 2018. Homes created for Design Builders clients have won no fewer than four gold awards, three silver awards and two highly coveted Regional Category Medal winners.
We’re absolutely chuffed to have done so well in the regionals, now we’re pretty excited about the national finals later in the year. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed. In the meantime, we’ll simply enjoy the moment.
Congratulations to the owners of these beautiful homes, and our contractors and partners who have helped create these incredible award-winners.
