COLORSTEEL® Supreme Roofer of the Year

COLORSTEEL® Supreme Roofer of the Year - Hartmut Reichelt

The COLORSTEEL® Supreme Roofer of the Year acknowledges roofers' significant contribution to our industry, selected from the winners of the three separate Roofer of the Year categories - Corrugate, Trapezoidal and Tray profiles. 

Owner of Construction Connection and Consultancy Ltd, Hartmut Reichelt played a pivotal role in the construction of the dynamic home 'Kanuka Residence' with three different shaped hip roof forms, wall and roof cladding. Hartmut's collaboration with Hyndman Taylor Architects was described as magical, showcasing his skill, expertise, passion, and craftsmanship. His commitment to sharing knowledge, suggesting improvements and effective communication with the contracting team made the 'Kanuka Residence' a resounding success. His leadership qualities and contributions to the building industry are well deserving of recognition and celebration. 

 

COLORSTEEL® New Roofer of the Year - Liam Williams

Liam started with Prestige Plumbing & Roofing through a Gateway program from Matamata College at the age of 17. His level of attention to detail and can-do attitude led him to the Architectural side of Prestige. Now 19, his mentor Ben has taught him well, after two years of training, Liam ran his first Tray job with complete custom set-out cladding and various pan sizes to suit each elevation.

Liam's level of understanding of the Tray profile will allow him to excel within the architectural roofing world, and this is unlikely to be the last time he makes an appearance at the COLORSTEEL® Awards - watch this space for Liam again in the future.
