From New England to NSW Glory: Rice Construction Group Secures Top HIA Award

In a spectacular display of regional excellence, Rice Construction Group has been recognised at the highest level, taking home a title at the Housing Industry Association (HIA) NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards. We secured the award for Custom Built Home $2 million to $2.5 million, marking a monumental achievement for a regional company competing against metropolitan powerhouses.

This win isn’t just a trophy; it’s a powerful validation of the craftsmanship, innovative design, and commitment to quality that drives our team.

The Winning Project: Blending Refinement and Regional Spirit

The award-winning residence, an architecturally refined home nestled in the beautiful New England Region of Northern NSW, exemplifies a perfect marriage of contemporary style and tactile warmth. Designed for a couple approaching retirement, the project focused heavily on creating a space that prioritizes ease of living, energy performance, and a deep connection to its native surroundings.

A masterclass in craftsmanship and sustainability. What set this project apart was the exceptional attention to detail and a strong focus on long-term liveability and sustainability.

A Victory for Regional Construction

For Rice Construction Group, this HIA NSW award represents the pinnacle of building excellence and a source of immense pride for the New England community.

By taking out a major state award in such a competitive category, we have shone a spotlight on the high calibre of building and design services available right across regional NSW.

Congratulations to the entire team on this truly outstanding and well-deserved recognition!
