(PR.co.nz) The Registered Master Builders Commercial Project Awards is New Zealand’s premier commercial building awards programme.
These are the only awards that recognize excellence, quality and innovation in building work including commercial projects – big or small, and this year Carl Taylor Homes entered 2 of its projects into the awards including a striking entry into the “New homes $450,000 – $600,000 category for a home in Merivale and another in Cashmere Hills both of which suffered minor damage in both Earth Quakes.
The judges don’t focus on the quality of the fittings or the design, instead they are interested in how the job has been executed – meaning the workmanship is enduring, of the highest standard and top class. Entry to the competitions is open to all Registered Master Builders and members recognize the awards as important recognition from their peers and an effective way to market their businesses. “The Registered Master Builders House of the Year is a major industry event” says Carl Taylor Homes Managing Director Carl Taylor, “the awards high profile and the publicity received have contributed noticeably to business success and professional reputation” he says.
Awards begin at local level, where the judging panel travel throughout New Zealand, marking each entry against a national score card. All entries are assessed using a predetermined scorecard. In judging entries, judges will view the entries and consider design, contract management, construction and of course, overall assessment. In addition there will be a peer review process through the inclusion of one additional judge who will not ‘go on the road’, but will meet with the two judges once all properties have been visited to discuss their recommendations and peer review the final results.
The judging panel allocates local Gold, Silver, Bronze and Category Winner awards accordingly. Category winners are those awarded the highest points against the judge’s scorecard. Each local competition names local awards winners in each of the competition categories at a gala dinner attended by local industry, local and national sponsors, dignitaries, media and homeowners. The Canterbury event was held at the Chateau On The Park in Christchurch on 2 September 2011 where Carl Taylor Homes picked up Gold, Silver and Category Gold awards including the prestigious Life Style Awards for their Merivale entry, “This certainly is recognition of the whole team” says Carl, “it’s a fantastic achievement and without the efforts of everyone, we could not have been so successful given the times we Cantabrains have been through in the past 12 months” It is a true testament that the Christchurch builder is committing to the long rebuild process of Christchurch. “Our team of guys worked very hard to have the homes completed to such a high standard and our home owners should be very proud to have homes that have stood up to mother nature” says Carl.
Carl Taylor Homes are a local East Christchurch Business which specializes in Design and Build Architectural homes. They were the first firm contracted to Fletcher EQR in November 2010 and continue to repair and rebuild homes under the scheme.
