Ronan Building takes home 2026 MBA Newcastle Excellence in Building Award

We’re proud to share that our Warners Bay renovation has been recognised at the 2026 MBA Newcastle Excellence in Building Awards, taking home the award for House Additions, Alterations & Renovations Under $500,000.

The Warners Bay renovation

For this young family, the project started with a decision about what made the most sense for their home and their future.

After considering a knockdown rebuild and second-storey addition, they ultimately decided against overcapitalising and instead worked with the home they already had.

Working alongside local draftsman Ian from Mayfield Design, we completed a major internal renovation that reworked and opened up the existing floorplan, making way for a new kitchen, bathroom and covered deck designed to make the most of the home’s views.

Importantly, the renovation was also planned with the future in mind, allowing the family the option to add a master suite to the rear of the home down the track.

A great result for the Ronan Building team

Taking home this award is something we’re incredibly proud of and a great recognition of the care, planning and workmanship that went into the project.

A big thank you to our clients for trusting us with their home, along with our team, trades and everyone involved in bringing the renovation together.
