A Rotorua building company has won two awards in the Bay of Plenty Central Plateau Registered Master Builders 2015 House of the Year.
Urbo Homes gained the gold award and the category award for the ITM New Home up to $300,000 for its three-bedroom in Pukehangi build. A house it
built in Lynmore also won gold and the PlaceMakers New Home $400,000-$500,000 category at a gala dinner on Saturday at Wairakei Resort in Taupo.
Gold, silver and bronze award winners were determined using a points-based system looking at workmanship, design and functionality.
Urbo Homes manager and company director Martin Dobbe said Urbo was pleased with its latest wins, having been recognised last year for the Gold Reserve Master Build Award, while it was the national winner in 2007 and 2006.
"For us we are being compared to what others are doing out there and coming away with the win shows we are doing things right," Mr Dobbe said. "The interest is already quite strong [for our work] but these awards allow us to stand up and say we're good at what we do and gives added confidence in our product."
