Red Emperor Constructions Wins 5 Awards

Red Emperor Constructions, based in Cannonvale, had a successful night at the 2025 Mackay & Whitsunday Housing & Construction Awards.

Director and Owner/Builder, Alistair Sawers accepted 4 Awards, including the highly sought after House of the Year, for the magnificent Haven on Hamilton.

Alistair gracefully thanked the team at Red Emperor Constructions, the trades that contributed to this epic win, as well as Master Builders and all other award recipients. Site Manager, Iain Karon accepted the award for the recently completed Stage 8C of the Grove.

Held at the Mantra Mackay on 9 August, the industry’s night of nights was well attended and enjoyed by Red Emperor Constructions staff and partners.

Master Builders Queensland quoted “Haven on Hamilton is among the most challenging builds Red Emperor Constructions have ever undertaken – but the result is spectacular.

"The team drew high praise from our judges for their planning and innovation transporting materials from the mainland to the steep rocky site, perfectly executed construction and high-end finishes.

"The result is a luxurious island home boasting polished concrete floors, exposed concrete and cedar ceilings, stunning timber joinery, and an infinity edge pool taking in the breathtaking Whitsunday views.”
