HIA and MBA Awards

While awards aren’t really what drives us, it’s nice to be recognised by our customers and peers for the work we are doing.

The achievements and accolades received by any one of our businesses are a reflection of the passion, hard work and commitment of every staff member across the MJH Group.

We are proud that one of the key pillars of the Group, McDonald Jones, has accepted a host of awards throughout 30 years of operation. This is an example of what each of our businesses is capable of, highlights the strength of the overall philosophy of the Group and validates the quality of our designs and construction methods.

The list is long and while every award is an honour, a number have been highlights in the McDonald Jones Homes story. These include being awarded the Professional Major Builder of the Year through the HIA / CSR Hunter Housing Award for six consecutive years and numerous awards for the Best Overall Display Home in NSW.

“While we appreciate the awards and recognition, we know that we are only ever as good as our last job.” Bill McDonald

We’d like to thank our customers and our people for their faith and hard work over the last 30 years.
