The Awards, celebrated at The Newcastle Exhibition and Entertainment Centre, on 7 September 2018, acknowledged exceptional workmanship in the Hunter region’s building industry and the outstanding quality of residential and commercial construction.

The winning design ‘The Silverdale’ is one of Backyard Grannys newest creations. It’s striking contemporary design and exceptional use of windows created a sense of space much grander than a traditional granny flat.

In acknowledging the design, the judges remarked:

The project provides a great example of the quality and amenity that can be achieved in a compact secondary dwelling. The home demonstrates the possibilities for a comfortable alternative option to that of a full-scale house.

Backyard Grannys Managing Director, Alex Mitchell said he was proud to lead a team of quality builders who pride themselves on attention to detail.

“With each and every granny flat build, the team goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding craftsmanship for our clients,” Alex said. “To win this award for the second year in a row is amazing and we are proud to be acknowledged by our industry peers for the work we produce.”
