It was the first home the business has ever entered in the HIA awards.

Mr Roberts said the home's quality meant he had been quietly confident before the awards. He said the clients' brief was for high detail, with high quality fixtures and fittings.

"You don't always get an opportunity to build them to that standard, obviously budget requirements you can't always get them to that stunning level you want," Mr Roberts said.

"The owners were fantastic to deal with, just a lovely family.

"When it's all done to that level, it really does pop. Everything comes together."
