HB House of the Year Awards

GOLD! GOLD! SILVER!!

Once again Design Builders has stamped its mark on the Registered Master Builders House of the Year awards.

Entry numbers were up on last years despite the economic downturn, also highlighting the value and importance of the awards.

Design Builders achieved two Gold Awards (80% above industry standard) and one Silver (65% above industry standard) to the three entries submitted. A huge thank you to the owners for the privilege of entering their homes, and to the Design Builders team of subcontractors….Well Done!!

Of the two gold award-winners further judging will take place to decide the National House of the year finalists for 2009. Perhaps another national winner to be uncovered to follow our unmatched Hawkes Bay record of 1999 & 2003 Category winners for all of New Zealand.

An opportunity to view the results of our  award winning "Nothing But Original  Homes " design and build service.

The Owners have kindly let us showcase their dream home to the public. The main features of the home are:

• We used new construction techniques to create a style that was distinctive yet unobtrusive to the discerning neighbourhood.
• The sharp clean lines of the plaster finish complimented by detailed  and bullet proof parapets complete the initial design brief.
• A large open plan living area is complimented by two private tiled outdoor areas which maximize the light and sun’s position all day.
• Stunning kitchen and bathrooms.
• A large office for the growing business upstairs complete with kitchenette.
• Soft natural tones accentuate the attention to detail throughout.

All in all an immaculately presented home well worth a visit...

Imagine looking forward to your power bill!

Nearing completion is another addition to Design Builders growing portfolio of innovative new homes.

The Eco Display Home is eco- friendly  and designed to be  super energy efficient,  while keeping it practical and logical.

This home has the capability to run off the grid economically and the potential to return surplus energy to the grid via a domestic solution for solar energy.

• Proving Design Builders are passionate about innovation and the environment.
• Exploring new ways to reduce the carbon footprint and maximizing the use of New Zealand made materials are hugely important to us.

These and many more features will be released to the public on a date to be confirmed soon.
