Setting the Standard for South Australian Homebuilding
We’re proud to announce that Regent Homes has been awarded the 2025 HIA South Australian Professional Medium Builder of the Year, recognising our excellence in design, innovation, and client experience.
This prestigious award is one of the most comprehensive assessments in the residential building industry — recognising not only the quality of the homes we build, but how we operate as a business. Regent Homes is honoured to now represent South Australia at the 2025 HIA National Awards, competing among Australia’s most accomplished builders for this category.
A Recognition of Professionalism, Leadership, and Innovation
For Regent Homes, this achievement celebrates more than architectural excellence — it reflects the integrity, professionalism, and systems that underpin our business.
From the first sketch in our Envision Design Studio to the final handover, every Regent Home is guided by craftsmanship, innovation, and care. We take pride in creating homes that inspire, and experiences our clients will cherish for a lifetime.
The HIA Professional Builder Award recognises excellence across multiple dimensions, including:
Business management and governance
Risk and safety systems
Environmental responsibility and sustainability
Employee engagement and development
Customer experience and satisfaction
Innovation in design, construction, and technology
To be recognised across all these areas is an extraordinary milestone in our 34-year journey — and a reflection of the dedication, expertise, and unity of our team, our trusted suppliers and trades, and our valued clients.
People, Purpose, and Progress
As a family-owned South Australian business, Regent Homes continues to thrive under the leadership of brothers Brad and Aaron Sugars, building on the legacy founded by their father, Mike Sugars, in 1991.
Our culture has always been about people first — creating an environment where our staff feel valued and supported, where trades and suppliers are respected partners, and where every client feels heard and cared for.
We are proud of our exceptionally low staff turnover, with many team members celebrating over a decade of service. This loyalty is a testament to our values-driven culture — one that prioritises wellbeing, professional development, and collaboration at every level.
As we continue to evolve, we remain committed to innovation through initiatives such as:
Our Envision Design Studio with immersive 3D and VR technology;
A digital-first client experience through our YourHome online portal;
Our partnership with Cleanaway, recycling over 90% of construction waste; and
Our ongoing investment in sustainable, energy-efficient home design.
A Dual Celebration of Excellence
This award follows our recent recognition at the Master Builders South Australia Awards, where Regent Homes’ St Peters Display Home was named the Best Display Home over $500,000.
Together, these honours reinforce Regent Homes’ reputation as one of South Australia’s most awarded custom home builders, and a trusted name in quality, innovation, and professionalism.
A Message of Gratitude
We extend our sincere thanks to the Housing Industry Association (HIA) for this recognition, and to our remarkable team, valued trades and suppliers, and the clients who place their trust in us.
This award is a shared achievement — the result of 34 years of commitment, creativity, and collaboration. We’re honoured to represent South Australia at the National Awards and look forward to continuing to raise the standard for custom home building across the country.
