"This renovation saw the living and kitchen open up through the use of a large diving cavity slider. The attention to detail inside and out as well as high quality installations were outstanding," they said.
"The use of a popular weatherboard cladding, meticulous painting and commendable workmanship made this a worthy Supreme Award winning renovation."
The judges called the Shaw Builders' project a beautifully built home with a faultlessly executed design.
"This is a substantial and sophisticated home that has been crafted with a lot of care and attention to detail. The design makes the most of the ocean views and the sun, seamlessly integrating outdoor living spaces while achieving privacy from adjacent properties.
"Concrete, steel, masonry block, precast timber, aluminium and glass all blend harmoniously to form this impressive home."
The results were revealed at a gala dinner last night at the Wairakei Resort in Taupo.
The winning builders were recognised by members of the Bay of Plenty Central Plateau Registered Master Builders and members of the local building industry.
There were 14 Gold Award winners from the Bay of Plenty Central Plateau region which will now be eligible, alongside Gold Award winners from up and down the country, to become National Gold Reserve finalists, which will be announced in September.
National category winners and the Registered Master Builders Supreme Awards for Renovation of the Year and House of the Year will be announced at a gala dinner in Auckland in November.
