A home just four kilometres out of Blackbutt has won two prestigious awards in the Downs & Western division of the Queensland Master Builders Housing & Construction awards.<\/p>\n

It belongs Jeff and Dr Daphene Connor, from the Blackbutt Medical Centre, and was constructed by Alan Cameron Building, based in Buderim.<\/p>\n

This is the same building company that built the couple’s modern Blackbutt Medical Centre, which was officially opened in 2013.<\/p>\n

“We were so impressed by them that when it came to our private home we decided to go with them again,” Jeff told southburnett.com.au<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yarraman resident Wayne Emms’ son Gerard was site manager for both projects.<\/p>\n

The home was finished about Christmas 2014 and the couple moved in January<\/p>\n

Jeff said the construction work took about 10 months, with workers camping on site for four days a week.<\/p>\n

Trades were completed by a mixture of South Burnett and external companies.<\/p>\n

Blackbutt Plumbing handled all the plumbing work.<\/p>\n

The two awards, which were announced on Saturday, were “Housing Award – Individual Home $1.26m\u2013 $2m” ; and “Speciality Award – Best Bathroom”.<\/p>\n

Awards were based on on-site inspections by independent judges.<\/p>\n

Regional winners will now go on to compete at the State awards in October.<\/p>\n
