In 2022, two country homes built by the firm received gold awards in the Altus Window Systems new home $750k-$1million categories of the Master Builders House of the Year Awards, each receiving a gold award and scoring in the National Top 100. A home built at Karaka won the Altus Window Systems new home $750,000 to $1 million regional category award, and took out the Regional Supreme House of the Year award. In total the firm has collected 13 awards, including sustainability excellence. It became a registered Master Builder in 2018. Laura says the firm’s in-house design service adds huge value and efficiency to the design and build process for clients. “We consider the design brief and desired outcomes and balance these with practical design, materials and construction methodology that respects the budget – giving clients greater clarity and control over the numbers, while ensuring they achieve their aesthetic and functionality goals for the project.” Its ability to take care of a project end-to-end ensures effective project management from start to finish makes it an enjoyable building process for the client, she says. “I think one of the biggest benefits Harrison Lane offers is the value of having one team across a project from inception to completion,” Laura says. “From designing value into the design itself in terms of practical building methods and materials, keeping budget top of mind, but also through to the efficiency of having an earthworks team that is coordinated within the building team, and a team that is all on the same page in terms of delivering a good experience for the client. “People often don’t realise the true value of this until they are faced with a challenge of coordinating multiple separate subcontractors to ‘do their part’ on a project, each of which are on their own schedules and are motivated by different agendas.” She says this can be stressful for the client, adding time to the build and cost. “We’ve had the privilege of working for many clients on multiple projects spanning over 10 years, and enjoy the strength of these relationships. No project comes without its challenges, but it’s the mindset to work through these constructively that makes a project a success.”
