The Construction Source Australia

The Construction Source Australia | Over the years, Sapphire Sky Homes’ high quality has been consistently rewarded by repeat work and industry accolades. “We often get recommended as home build- ers through existing clients who tell their friends,” Tom says. “That’s more important to us than setting up signs or advertising campaigns. A high quality product is the best way to market yourself to clients.” At the 2013 Southern Central Regional MBA Awards, that quality was recognised with the award for Best Display Home Un- der $250,000, for their display in theWat- tle Glen Estate of Wodonga. Tom says the company is very proud of that recognition, particularly because of the challenging allot- ment of land they had to build on. “The display home is on a small allot- ment,” he says. “We angled the front façade in a way to show that we can achieve luxury aesthetics in our designs, yet still be afford- able.” The home, created specifically to suit the small block of land, was awarded by judges for the contemporary look of the façade, the unobstructed views of scenery, and the qual- ity of materials. The house also uses natural light, timber, water, and stone to make the house appear to extend beyond its clearly de- fined walls. In years past, Sapphire Sky Homes had opt- ed against entering their projects for awards. INDUSTRY RECOGNISED
