Metricon Queensland recently took home the HIA award for 2011 Professional Major Builder of the Year. The awards were announced at the 2011 HIA-CSR Queensland Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards.

The awards, held by the HIA, Australia’s peak industry body for residential construction, renovation and development, recognise the achievements of the housing industry, as it leads the way in design, construction, innovation and housing technology.

Congratulating Metricon Homes, HIA’s Queensland Regional Director, Warwick Temby, said the awards recognise the achievements, both of companies and individuals in the Queensland region, who lead the way in the professionalism, design, construction, innovation and technology in housing.

“Even in these challenging times for the housing industry, entries have remained steady and the quality has been increasing. The awards are a strong statement of the commitment of HIA members in Queensland to deliver quality housing that will stand the test of time. The evidence tonight shows they have risen to the challenge.”

It is a significant milestone for Metricon Queensland and follows the recent announcement of Metricon as Australia's largest home builder by the HIA. The awards reflect Metricon’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative, quality homes, superior value and excellent customer experience over their 35 year history.
