Best outdoor area in nation
LOCAL construction business Liam Gilligan Builders is celebrating a massive milestone for the company, following their second consecutive win of the 2024 Housing Industry Association Australian outdoor project award.
Surrounded by lush and tranquil gardens, the tropical resort-style outdoor area at Clifton Beach won the award for Liam Gilligan Builders in 2023, now a second time in a row in 2024.
With the pool, landscaping and amenities blending tropical living with refined Mediterranean influences, the project wowed the judges, and received the highest-ever score for an outdoor project.
Liam Gilligan Builders co-owner Hyaesil Gilligan said the award was amazing to win.
“It was very humble, and so unexpected,” Mrs Gilligan said.
“(As) local builders, we do receive regional awards and make it to state-level,” she said.
“But when you go to national level, you’re competing with multimillion-dollar houses, so it’s very hard to win at national level.”
Mrs Gilligan said that their sights for the future were to maintain consistency and gain traction.
“We have a lot of pride in our projects,” she said.
“We pay so much attention to detail, to make the best outcome possible.
“We will keep doing what we’re doing, hoping to gain traction from this milestone and go further.”
An HIA spokesman said the pool, landscaping and amenities blended tropical living with refined Mediterranean influences.
“The space wowed the judges, receiving the highest ever score for an outdoor project. The workmanship and design effectiveness described as flawless,” he said.
HIA managing director Jocelyn Martin said the Australian Housing Awards celebrated the remarkable achievements of Housing Industry Australia members who were excelling in Australia’s residential building industry.
“At HIA, we’re dedicated to giving credit where it’s due,” she said.
“HIA Awards are our way of recognising the exceptional talent within our membership.
“We are talking about members who not only build extraordinary homes, kitchens, and bathrooms, but also run incredibly successful businesses.”
