By choosing COLORBOND® steel for the roof of their new home at Warnervale, Claudia Varas and Mark Nock have won the major prize in the first round of the COLORBOND® steel "Make the Right Choice and Win" competition.

The couple have won an $8,000 home entertainment package from BHP Steel.

The package includes a widescreen TV, DVD video player, Dolby digital receiver, active subwoofer, satellite speakers and speaker stands and a music voucher.

Claudia Varas and Mark Nock selected roofing made from COLORBOND® steel in the colour Slate Grey from Swansea-based builder Beechwood Homes, for their new Warnervale home.

"We are absolutely over the moon because we have never won anything in our lives," Mr Nock said.

"The home we are building is called the Nepean from Beechwood Homes. I'd always wanted to have a roof made from COLORBOND® steel because of the look of steel roofing, especially the curved shapes and its design flexibility.

"Being originally from Birmingham in England, this also fulfills my dream of wanting to live by the coast. We'll be just 10 minutes from the beach in our new home.

"When you travel along the Australian coast it seems the majority of roofs are made from COLORBOND® steel. It complements the design of a home and I'm constantly impressed with the way people are using steel in building," Mr Nock said.

Claudia Varas and Mark Nock have won the first phase of the COLORBOND® steel Make the Right Choice and Win competition.

The second phase is underway now and ends on March 31, with the final phase to run from April 1 to June 30 2003.

For each phase, both a consumer and builder in New South Wales will win an entertainment package.

To enter the competition, consumers simply need to purchase a new home that uses roofing made from COLORBOND® steel.

Consumers receive extra entries into the draw by choosing fencing, fascias and gutters made from COLORBOND® steel or framing made from ZINCALUME steel for their new home.*

Homebuyers can enter the competition through participating builders Australia-wide.
Each winner will receive an $8000 home entertainment package.
