This impressive haul is a powerful endorsement of the builder's customer-first philosophy and its dedication to creating beautiful, functional, and high-quality homes suited for contemporary Australian life.
Recognition for Team and Clients
Managing Director Jason Smith was quick to share the credit for the company's success. "These awards are a credit to the passion and dedication of our entire team," Mr Smith said. "They're also a win for the families who choose to build with Hunter Homes."
He emphasised that being recognised across such a wide range of categories proves that the company's design and quality standards are consistent, regardless of the project's scale or budget. "Our customers are at the heart of everything we do," he added, noting that client vision and feedback are central to their process.
Mr Smith also extended his gratitude to the staff, tradespeople, and suppliers whose skill and professionalism are fundamental to delivering these award-winning results. "Every award we receive is a reflection of the hard work and passion of our entire team - from the client liaison team to builders on site," he stated.
Expanding Success Across NSW
The celebration didn't stop at the Hunter region awards. Hunter Homes also found success at the Northern HIA Awards, further solidifying its reputation for excellence across a broader part of New South Wales. The company secured three additional accolades:
- Kitchen of the Year - up to $40,000 for the Mooring 259 in Port Macquarie
- Bathroom of the Year - up to $30,000 for the Kenneth 276 Ensuite in Port Macquarie
- Display Home of the Year for the Kenneth 276 in Port Macquarie
According to Mr Smith, the key ingredients to Hunter Homes' ongoing success are a steadfast focus on quality, consistency, and prioritising families. "We focus on building homes that people genuinely love living in," he explained. "Every decision we make - from the design of the floorplan to the finishes we include - is guided by the way families actually live."
The company's commitment is also shown through its practical promises to clients. Hunter Homes includes Premium Inclusions in every build and maintains a reliable 24-week construction timeline, providing families with transparency and allowing them to move into their new home sooner.
Looking to the future, Hunter Homes is focused on growth and innovation. A key part of this strategy is the recent opening of the Hunter Homes Display Village in Lochinvar. This village allows potential customers to experience the quality and design of four popular home designs in a single, convenient location. The business plans to continue expanding its regional footprint while maintaining its commitment to efficient build times and flexible designs for modern living.
