Newcastle-based builder Candor Homes has cemented its reputation as a rising star in the residential construction industry, securing two prestigious wins at the 2025 HIA Awards.
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Client Focus
In a significant achievement for the eight-year-old company, Candor Homes took home top honours in two categories: Custom Built Home up to $600,000 for 'The Leonora' and Bathroom in a Display Home for 'The Eden'. The builder was also a finalist in three other categories, making a strong impression with five nominations in only its second year of participation in the awards.
Sales manager Silvano Silvestri expressed immense pride in the team's accomplishment. "We're thrilled to be walking away with two wins from five nominations," Silvestri said. "These wins acknowledge the dedication, skill and hard work of our entire team."
Foundations of Growth and Customisation
Servicing the Hunter, Lake Macquarie, and Central Coast areas, Candor Homes has built over 200 quality homes since its inception. The company attributes its rapid growth and award success to a core philosophy of prioritising the client.
Central to their operation is a unique promise of full customisation at no extra cost, allowing homeowners to create a dwelling that truly reflects their individual needs and lifestyle. "Our growth has been exciting, but we've always focused on building strong foundations and putting our customers first," Silvano noted.
Transparency and Affordable Quality
The award for the 'Leonora' project, a custom-built home under $600,000, underscores the builder's commitment to delivering value. "Winning the award for Custom Built Home up to $600,000 shows that affordable, high-quality homes are absolutely possible," Silvestri stated.
Candor Homes also emphasises an open and transparent process, ensuring clients are fully educated before they sign any contracts. "The building industry can feel confusing, and our clients appreciate our open, upfront approach," Silvano explained, highlighting their value-focused method.
For those interested in experiencing the award-winning quality firsthand, the company encourages a visit to their Lochinvar Display Home to view the acclaimed 'Eden' bathroom. With new display homes and custom builds planned for 2026, Candor Homes is poised for continued success as a leader in the regional building scene.
