As the only Canterbury-based builders to win a category award at this years’ Master Builders House of the Year, TMT Construction was thrilled to receive the national award in the Renovations under $500,000 category for their stunning project to renovate and extend a charming character home in Strowan.

Registered Master Builder judges heaped praise on TMT Construction’s work on the winning house saying, “The seamless extension is so in keeping with the original house. The remarkable ceiling to the new veranda echoes the rimu floors within, and handcrafted rimu window joinery and sculpted posts showcase expert craftsmanship.”

TMT Construction owner and builder, Tim Moriarty, says he’s still coming to terms with his national award win saying, “I am so proud of the houses we renovate and build. I particularly enjoyed this home as it allowed us to handcraft so many elements and the end product was awesome. As a company, my team and I want to build great homes for our clients. It is phenomenal to have all our hard work recognised at a national level.”

Tim says he loves renovations so much that he and wife Tamara recently purchased a 120-year-old villa in Merivale, which is now completely gutted and a sympathetic restoration is underway.

“The building site has proved a treasure trove of historical items, from ink wells to pottery and even a 100-year-old shoe,” Tim says. “Too many beautiful homes have been bowled by the earthquakes. I am looking forward to ensuring some of our classic architecture and history remains in Christchurch.”
