Win for local home builders

It''s Kerri and Peter Scott and Aaron and Sarah Anstis.

In a win for the housing industry, two local builders are still celebrating after claiming Best Display Home in their respective categories at the HIA Western Region awards.

It’s a major boost of confidence for consumers with two award winning display homes presented by family owned and operated builders right on their doorstep.

The annual event honours the achievements of those in the housing industry who pave the way for innovation, design and construction.

Judged by a panel of independent industry professionals, the awards acknowledge the talent of local builders.

Aaron and Sarah Anstis from Hotondo Homes in Ocean Grove won Best Display Home in the $300,000 to $400,000 category for their Tarkine 238.

The team were praised by judges for the property’s family-friendly layout and quality workmanship.

“We are so humbled to have taken out this award,” Aaron Anstis said.

“This achievement wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for my entire team who work so hard behind the scenes.

“We love absolutely everything about the Tarkine, but to know that the experts agree is one of the

best compliments we could ever receive.”

Peter and Kerri Scott from Hotondo Homes in Torquay impressed the judges with their eye-catching Esplanade 260, taking out the Best Display Home in the $500,000 to $800,000 category.

Designed with a coastal lifestyle in mind, the aptly named Esplanade offers open-plan living on the top floor and makes the most of its location.

“We’re thrilled to be recognised for our work. My team and I always strive to build homes to the

highest quality, and to be honoured for that is fantastic,” Peter Scott said.

“There are so many experienced and talented builders in our region, so to have our work recognised

amongst all these others is incredible.”
