Construction Awards

Australia’s Best House

Winning the 2024 Australia’s Best House Country Life Award recognised Hedger Constructions’ commitment to craftsmanship and innovation in regional home building. Awarded for the remarkable Cathedral Nest project, the home was celebrated for its contemporary interpretation of a rural farmhouse, seamlessly integrating recycled materials, energy-efficient design principles and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Set against the backdrop of Victoria’s Cathedral Ranges, the project reflects the collaborative approach and attention to detail that underpin every Hedger Constructions home.

Best Custom Home Awards

Best Custom Home awards recognise projects that successfully bring together architecture, craftsmanship and the unique aspirations of their owners. Across a range of locations and settings, these homes demonstrate the value of a collaborative process and a shared commitment to achieving exceptional outcomes. From highly detailed family residences to landmark regional homes, each project reflects its own distinct character while contributing to Hedger Constructions’ growing body of recognised work.

Regional Builder of the Year

Being named Victorian State Regional Builder of the Year on three separate occasions is a significant achievement and reflects the consistency of Hedger Constructions’ work over many years. This recognition acknowledges not only individual projects, but also the quality of construction, professionalism and commitment demonstrated across the business as a whole. As one of Victoria’s most respected regional builders, Hedger Constructions continues to deliver homes that respond thoughtfully to their environment while maintaining the high standards that have earned industry recognition time and again.

Best Sustainable Home Awards

Recognition in passive and sustainable home categories reflects Hedger Constructions’ longstanding commitment to building homes that perform efficiently, respond thoughtfully to their environment and support long-term liveability. These awards acknowledge projects that successfully integrate energy-efficient design principles, high-performance building systems and innovative construction techniques without compromising architectural quality. From passive homes to off-grid rural residences, these projects demonstrate a considered approach to sustainability, where comfort, durability and environmental responsibility are embedded into every stage of the build.

Best Renovation Awards

Best Renovation awards recognise the skill and care required to transform existing homes while respecting their original character and context.

The recognition received by Hedger Constructions in renovation categories reflects an ability to navigate complex construction challenges, work within established structures and deliver seamless outcomes that feel both considered and enduring.

Best Display Home Awards

Best Display Home awards recognise homes that successfully showcase excellence in design, construction and presentation. For Hedger Constructions, these awards reflect an ability to bring together architectural vision, craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail to create homes that resonate with both industry judges and the wider public. While display homes are designed to demonstrate what is possible, the principles recognised through these awards—quality, functionality and thoughtful execution—remain central to every custom home the team delivers.

Across a diverse body of work, from urban residences to regional and coastal homes, each awarded project highlights the value of working closely with design teams to achieve outcomes that are cohesive, well-resolved and enduring.
