Colorsteel presented three awards at their first ever celebration of excellence in the roofing and construction industries.

The Building of the Year award along with a $25,000 media package went to Wainui Construction for their Two Shed’s project. The Young Roofer of the Year award and $10,000 cash prize went to Vaughn Cook of Cowperthwaite Roofing Limited. And, the Roofer of the Year award and $25,000 travel voucher went to Matthew McDougall of The Roofing Company Canterbury.

Judge Peter Wolfkamp noted of the winning building, “It has been built with versatility in mind, so the spaces can be matched to the needs of future tenants. The simple details provide a functional and artistic element that transform a ‘shed’ into an upmarket commercial destination.”

Wolfkamp was joined on the jury by architect Ken Crosson, roofing expert Rod Newbold, Roofing Association New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, Graham Moor and New Zealand Steel’s Chief Executive, Gretta Stephens. 

Stephens says, ““Congratulations to our winners and all of our finalists. It was fantastic to bring everyone together and facilitate conversation between industries and individuals in different stages of their careers. We hope these Awards can grow and offer roofers the opportunity to really celebrate their work. We want to see the roofing industry recognised for the innovative designs we see from across the country.”
