Tallwood Custom Built Homes takes top South West gong at HIA awards

Busselton building company Tallwood Custom Built Homes has taken home the top South West house gong at the 2024 HIA South West Homes of the Year Awards on Saturday night. Tallwood took home eight awards on the night, most notably the home of the year award. The award was won for the Quindalup build which judge and HIA executive director of Western Australia described as one of exceptional quality. “The judges commended the exceptional build quality and attention to detail of finish and materials, including custom features and work with a local furniture designer for the installation of custom cabinetry in the master bedroom and living areas,” he said. It is the second time in a row the company has taken out the top gong and the sixth time since first entering the awards in 2010. Tallwood Custom Built Homes managing director and owner Alex Campbell described the win as flattering. “It means a lot to me — I’ve been a judge myself over the years, and to be recognised by our peers being the best of the best is what we aim for,” he said. The company also took home awards for best custom built home, sustainable home and lightweight housing of the year among others. Other notable winners on the night included ProLiving Design and Construction taking out the residential design of the year for its Yallingup build. Caves Road Construction won the renovation/addition project of the year for its Cowaramup renovation of the former Old Cheese Factory.
