Better Built Homes Wins HIA Australian Professional Medium Builder Back-to-Back!

Winning a national award is something you never forget. Winning twice confirms we’re building something bigger than homes, we’re building a standard.

We’re incredibly proud to share that Better Built Homes has been named the HIA Australian Professional Medium Builder for the second consecutive year. Backing up our 2025 national win with another title in 2026.

The awards ceremony, held on the weekend of 16-17th May in Gold Coast, capped off a powerful and insightful evening. Our founders and directors, Jayden Saundercock and Aaron Gampe, attended the event taking home the win.

More Than a Win, It’s Our Standard

Last year, taking out the national title was an honour and twelve months on, this second win reinforces that it wasn’t a one-off -it’s the standard we hold ourselves to.

Consistency in building isn’t easy. It takes alignment across every part of the business. From the first client conversation to the final handover and a team that shows up with the same level of care on every project.

“We’re proud to be receiving the national award for the second year in a row, this has always been a tough category to compete in.” and being only a Sydney builder it’s difficult to see what’s happening in other states.” General Manager, Michael Cross expressed

Built on a Better Way

Founded with a clear vision: to deliver a better building experience. That means better communication, better quality and a better overall journey for our clients.

“We’ve always believed there’s a better way to build,” said Aaron Grampe, Director and Founder. “That belief has guided every decision we’ve made over the past 15 years. It’s about more than just construction. It’s about care, integrity and a commitment to leaving something better behind with every project we deliver.”

But being better isn’t a single initiative, it’s embedded in every part of our processes. From streamlined systems and clear communication to carefully selected trades and suppliers, every detail is designed to create a smoother, more trustworthy build journey.

“This recognition means a great deal because it reflects the passion and dedication our team brings every day,” Aaron adds. “We’re committed to continuous improvement—not because we have to, but because it matters. It matters to us, to our clients, and to the communities we’re part of. Staying true to that mindset, even when it’s challenging, is what defines us. It’s what drives us forward and ultimately, what sets us apart.”

A Win for the Whole Team

Like every milestone we celebrate, this achievement belongs to more than just our business but the people behind it.

Our team, trades, suppliers, and partners are the engine behind Better Built Homes. Their commitment, pride, and attention to detail are what make delivering at this level possible – year after year.

Jayden Saundercock, Director and Founder, shared: “Winning at a national level is an incredible achievement, but to do it back to back shows that results like this come from an outstanding team and a consistent commitment to quality in every build.”

We’d also like to acknowledge the other finalists. The standard across the industry continues to rise, and it’s a privilege to be part of a sector that’s constantly pushing forward. And to the Housing Industry Association, thank you for hosting a fantastic event and for continuing to recognise excellence across the building industry.
