An award-winning home building company has collapsed after just two years of operation.

Perth-based Tingey Development Group was wound up by liquidators Hall and Chadwick on Wednesday.

It's the third registered building contractor in Western Australia to enter insolvency since June 30.

The company leaves behind at least 15 incomplete housing projects, according to state government department Building and Energy.

The department has urged homeowners with unfinished or defective projects to  contact insurer QBE to discuss home indemnity insurance arrangements.

'Home indemnity insurance provides financial protection for homeowners in situations such as the insolvency of their builder,' executive director Daniel Kearney said.

'Contacting the insurance provider enables homeowners to begin the process of engaging another registered builder to complete the work or managing other remedies they may be entitled to.'

Subcontractors owed for unpaid work were advised to contact liquidators at Hall and Chadwick.

Tingey Development Group's website and social media pages have already vanished online, just months after the company was crowned best start-up business at last year's Housing Industry Association’s Awards.

The business was established in 2023 by Geoff and Brooke Tingey, who boasted having more than three decades of construction experience between them.

The company described itself as a luxury home builder with a love for creating beautiful spaces and a passion for exceptional design.

'Our team is committed to delivering an end-to-end customer service experience that surpasses all others,' its LinkedIn bio sates.

'With direct access to our directors, registered builder Geoff Tingey and general manager Brooke Tingey with 30+ years of construction experience, our mission lies solely with building a home that’s made for the way you live.'
