Nine national awards are heading home to Canberra after Master Builders ACT members were recognised at the Master Builders Australia National Excellence in Building and Construction Awards in Adelaide.

The newly crowned national winners were among the 34 local finalists at the national awards, following the Master Builders ACT and Asset Construction Hire Awards held in September.

Kane Constructions received two awards for their exceptional work on the Australian War Memorial Southern Entrance: the National Commercial/Industrial Construction Award for projects valued between $50 to $100 million, and the National Commercial Historical Restoration/Renovation Award. This project had earlier earned them the prestigious Project of the Year title at the ACT awards.

The National Display Home award categories featured impressive wins for two Canberra builders. Sunny Homes ACT/NSW clinched the award for display home valued $400,000 to $600,000 for their Googong display.

Sunny Homes director Sunny Malhotra described their winning entry as “a sun-filled home from Sunny Homes”.

“Our Googong display home is all about light, with 3.6-metre ceilings and skylights welcoming the sun into the family area,” Sunny said.

“We are over the moon to win this national award. We were up against some big estates from around Australia; we honestly did not expect to win.

“This award is for all the people behind Sunny Homes, the trades and the clients, everyone’s hard work and passion.”
