An award-winning West Australian home builder has found success in a niche market building country-style homes.

Cedar Homes Cabernet display home in Ellenbrook - one of the most successful land development projects in Australia according to a WA government report - recently won the Ellenbrook Housing Estate ' s 2002 Award for Country Housing Design.

Cedar Homes is based in the Perth suburb of Osborne Park and builds within a 450 kilometre radius of its headquarters - from Geraldton in the north to Albany in the south and Hyden in the east.

Each of the company ' s single and double-storey homes - suitable for semi-rural or rural properties - is built with a roof made from COLORBOND® steel or ZINCALUME steel.

Cedar Homes ' Daniel Paulsen said COLORBOND® steel was popular with homebuyers because it provided a diverse colour range and a traditional corrugated look that lasted.

BHP Steel recently expanded and improved this range of COLORBOND® steel colours, unveiling a palette of 20 colours that employs advances in super polyester pre-painted coating technology to keep roofing and wall cladding looking new for longer.

Building its Cabernet country-style house for a customer in the town of Denmark also produced another win for Cedar Homes, which took the major prize in the second phase of the COLORBOND® steel " Make the Right Choice and Win " competition.

The family-owned and run company won an $8000 home entertainment package from BHP Steel simply by using roofing made from COLORBOND® steel on the home.

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

Builders can register to be a part of the COLORBOND® steel " Make the Right Choice and Win " competition by filling out the official participating builder form.

The builders ' prizes are linked to consumer prizes.

Buyers of new homes who choose building products made from COLORBOND® steel - including fencing, fascia and gutters, or building frames made from ZINCALUME steel - receive additional entries into the competition.*

The competition is now into its third and final phase, which ends on June 30. At the end of the phase, both a consumer and builder in Western Australia will win an entertainment package.
