it’s not about celebrating the big flashy homes or the multi million dollar projects; they were about recognising the outstanding efforts of builder members who are committed to elevating the professionalism of the residential construction industry.   At a time when industry sentiment and reputation is at an all time low, it’s incredibly important that we shine a light on the things that really matter when running a professional, sustainable building business.   **These awards looked at businesses that:** 🏆 Run well, profitably and sustainably 🏆 Ensure their clients have an enjoyable project experience 🏆 Create great teams that consistently deliver high quality work 🏆 Have the right mindset to overcome the challenges and obstacles, and are committed to continuously improving 🏆 Develop strong relationships and work collaboratively with designers, consultants and sub contractors to deliver great projects for clients 🏆 Deliver homes that stand the test of time   We were honoured to pick up two Highly Commended Awards, *The Biggest Action Takers,* and *Showing Up,* and be recognised for our efforts both within our business and contribution to the LLB community.   ![Forest to Coast Homes -
