House of the Year Awards: Christchurch comes out on top

Christchurch has dominated the Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards.

Metzger Buildings had a clean sweep - winning the New Home over $2 million and Plumbing Bathroom Excellence awards.

It also took out the Supreme House of the Year for a build in the suburb of Redwood.

"The large home sits boldly on a rural site, but peacefully in its landscaped environment," judges said.

"The impeccable crafting and attention to detail demonstrated by the builders and subcontractors is truly exceptional.

"The collaboration between client, architect and builder has made this a home that perfectly suits the needs of the growing family."

Fellow Christchurch company, Takahe Construction, won three awards including the 2018 Renovation of the year.

The renovated property was built in the Christchurch suburb of Merivale in the 1990s, and was heavily damaged in the earthquakes.

"A collaborative approach between client, architect, engineer and builder made this project a success," the judges said.

"The quality demonstrated in both the re-build work and the overall renovation is a credit to the team involved.

"This is truly a spectacular home, which the builder should be extremely proud of."
