Mackay project wins award for amazing renovation

ONCE tired and dated, this Bakers Creek home has been transformed into a custom-made two-storey family haven.

It's a top renovation job and now it has been named as one of the state's best.

Mackay renovation specialist Urban Trend Construction took out top honours at the 2014 Queensland Master Builders Awards in Brisbane in the Home Renovation/Remodelling Project $426,000 to $575,000 category.

Urban Trend Construction business manager Kathryn Ogilvie said the award for their Gorman St renovation project was wonderful recognition.

"The competition in all categories was just jaw-dropping," Mrs Ogilvie said.

The renovation work transformed the once simple three-bedroom brick home into a two-storey, five-bedroom, four-bathroom masterpiece.

It has a clever design and a classy style.

But Urban Trend Construction founder Ken Ogilvie said his business simply made the house "flow".

"A lot of entry-level homes are about cramming in as much stuff (as possible) into a small space, it's done that way from a price point. But we make a house work. We make a house flow."

Mrs Ogilvie believes their renovation work won the award because it was unique.
