(1888PressRelease) January 15, 2020 - The Hamilton-based housing company, which builds homes throughout the Waikato, Coromandel and Bay of Plenty, received gold awards in three House of the Year categories, including the GIB Show Home category for their Rivercove Show Home at 12 Riverpoint Glade, which also won the lifestyle and craftmanship awards. Urban Homes were also named gold and category winners in the New Home $600,000 – $750,000 category, and Altus Windows New Home $750,000 – $1 Million.

Now in its fifth year, the awards are synonymous with celebrating the best homes and builders in New Zealand. The judging criteria covers four categories: workmanship, design, style and functionality, which a property is judged and scored against.

Urban Homes founder and director, Daniel Klinkenberg says their team were thrilled to be honoured with the Regional Craftmanship award. “We were up against some incredible competition in the Waikato. This award is testament to the ownership our team takes of every project, and the quality of our workmanship. It’s really humbling to be recognised alongside our peers.”
