Award-Winning Craftsmanship
Lakes Building Co is proudly owned and operated by qualified Master Builder Stuart Clark. With over 30 years of experience in the building industry — including 23 years working across the Central Lakes district — Stu brings a depth of knowledge, craftsmanship, and local insight to every project. He has delivered a large number of high-quality homes throughout the region, earning a strong reputation for excellence.
Stu’s attention to detail and commitment to quality were recognised in 2012, when he received a Gold Award at the Master Builders House of the Year Awards and was named the overall Category Winner. His winning home was selected among the top 100 entries nationwide and went on to achieve a prestigious Gold Reserve Award — an outstanding accomplishment for a first-time entrant.
In 2013, Stu entered his own Jack’s Point home in the Builder’s Own Home category, securing another Gold Award and a place in the national finals. The success continued in 2015, with Lakes Building Co earning two additional Gold Awards, further reinforcing their reputation for exceptional workmanship. Read more about this here.
The company has since continued its award-winning streak with further Gold Awards in 2017 and 2023, including a standout build in Jack’s Point that reflects Lakes Building Co’s signature blend of high-quality and precision building. This house can be viewed here.
In 2025, Lakes Building Co added to its accolades with another Gold Award for a beautifully executed build in Gibbston Valley. Read more here.
This same year, the team was also honoured with a Silver Medal in the NZ Commerical Project Awards for the Cargo Brewhall — a light commercial building located in Arthurs Point.
