Master Builder House of the Year 2019 Awards
_JPG.jpg)
We have achieved a reputation for outstanding quality, often going above and beyond to achieve exceptional results, which has been recognised in the Registered Master Builders’ House of the Year competition. We have accomplished this by fastidiously honing our procedures throughout the entire build process. In a number of instances, our best practice processes are unique to Thorne Group. This includes the way we box up the floors through to the finishes touches on the home. It’s an accumulation of dedication, perseverance and years of collective experience. We invite you to discuss these specific ‘best in industry’ processes with our directors.
We are thrilled and excited that all three of our entries into this year’s Registered Master Builders House of the year received gold awards. This translates to the quality being 80% above the industry standard. Furthermore, two of our homes made the coveted ‘Top 100 homes in the country’ list.
AWARD WINNING BUILD + aRCHITECTURE
Multi-award winning architectural practice
Thorne Group offers the option to work with our multiple award-winning Architectural Designer or bring your own plans to us for construction. Thorne Group Architecture is headed up by multi-award-winning Architectural Designer – Jon McAlpine. Jon creates ‘conscious architecture’ – bespoke designs which have a life beyond a material manifestation. These designs have won him both regional and national awards every year. Working alongside Thorne Group’s build team provides a valuable insight into creating affordable designs that work. “A designer needs to be completely in touch with practical construction methodology and construction costs. You can have a great looking design, but it needs to be buildable to a budget” explains Jon. While Thorne Group Architecture and Thorne Group Homes operate as two distinct companies, giving clients the option of having an architecturally designed and built home within the same service is what sets us apart. Projects where we work collaboratively, alongside the client, deliver consistently better outcomes in terms of time, budget and efficiencies.
