Ownit Homes has been named as the Brisbane winner of the Master Builders Queensland Display Home, between $351,000 – $450,000, for their Hamilton 317 Display Home in Upper Kedron, Queensland.

The prestigious award was presented in front of industry professionals from across Queensland at the Master Builders Queensland Brisbane Housing and Construction Awards.
