Showcasing Excellence in Asian Construction
As a key supporter of the annual House of the Year awards, HouGarden champions the achievements of Chinese builders, promoting their excellence and integration into New Zealand’s mainstream market.
HouGarden X Master Builders
HouGarden maintains a close, long-standing partnership with the Registered Master Builders Association (RMBA), New Zealand’s most respected industry body. As a key supporter of the annual House of the Year awards, HouGarden helps spotlight craftsmanship, innovation, and compliance across the sector—while ensuring the contributions of Chinese builders are visible to mainstream audiences and decision-makers.
The collaboration spans year-round activity. HouGarden delivers bilingual coverage of House of the Year finalists and winners, produces project profiles and video features, and amplifies results across its multicultural platform and social channels frequented by Chinese-speaking homeowners and investors. Industry panels, workshops, and networking sessions co-hosted with RMBA further support knowledge sharing on New Zealand standards, sustainability, seismic performance, and site safety—turning recognition into practical capability building.
For Chinese builders, the partnership offers concrete benefits: stronger brand credibility through association with RMBA’s quality mark; easier access to clients, architects, and developers; and clearer pathways to compliance and certification. For the wider market, it broadens supplier choice, raises design and build benchmarks, and encourages healthy competition that benefits homeowners.
Looking ahead, HouGarden will deepen its House of the Year storytelling with data-led insights, neighborhood guides, and behind-the-scenes site features—continuing to champion Chinese builders and help integrate their best work into New Zealand’s mainstream market.
