NSW President’s foreword

Testament to remarkable skills within our industy

W

elcome to the 2023 edition of our magazine, celebrating Regional Excellence in Building and Construction across New South Wales. This publication shines a spotlight on the remarkable contributions made by the building and construction industry throughout Regional NSW.

It is worth noting that the building and construction sector stands as a key driver of business growth, offering more opportunities than any other industry in Australia. Furthermore, we are the largest employer of full-time workers and play a crucial role in training apprentices, surpassing all other sectors in this regard.

This year our industry gathered in Albury, Ballina, Orange and Ulladulla to celebrate the 2023 Regional Excellence in Building Awards, bringing together over 1000 guests, turning each evening into the regional industry nights of nights.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated panel of judges who voluntarily donate their time and expertise to meticulously assess, evaluate, and make tough decisions when considering all the entries received.

In 2023 the Master Builders Association received project entries to sum of $900 million. Our industry delivered projects of exceptional quality and demonstrated the highest levels of craftmanship. Our esteemed panel of judges undertook a month of volunteered inspections of all projects across these regions, working under tight timeframes, challenging weather conditions, and still post-industry lockdown challenges. Their unanimous verdict was a testament to the remarkable skills and professionalism exhibited by our industry.

On behalf of the Master Builders Association of NSW, I congratulate all the entrants and winners for yet another year of exceptional projects. We also express our deep appreciation to our sponsors for their unwavering support of our industry and the Award Presentations. Once again, congratulations on your remarkable success.

Ian Anderson Ian has more than 50 years of experience in the building and construction industry. He completed his indentured Carpentry & Joinery apprenticeship in 1967. Ian then completed his Building Foreman & Clerk of Works Certificate, Building Certificate, and has worked in many facets of the construction industry.

In 1973, Ian became a full-time TAFE Teacher (Building & Construction) where he taught most subjects in the curriculum for both Trade and Post-Trade courses. He completed his Diploma of Teaching (Technical) in 1981.

After serving 30 years in the teaching profession, Ian retired and became an Accredited Building Consultant with the MBA. He continues to engage in that capacity today.

Ian has been a Judge for the MBA Northern Regions Excellence in Building Awards since 2013 and has been a member of Council Management since 2014..

His qualifications include Carpentry Trade, Building Foreman Clerk of Works, Building Certificate, and Diploma of Teaching Technical. He also held a builder’s license (restricted due to employment with TAFE) until retirement.

Warren taught trade and post-trade builders’ licensing courses and on-site Pre-Apprenticeship programs, along with numerous other short courses. He has a passion for quality and detail across all trade areas. He is the North Coast Regional coordinator and National Judge for Skills Olympics in Carpentry and is responsible for assessing foreign applicants with overseas qualifications to gain recognition for NSW licensing.

An estimated 15 million litres of flood water filled the car park, which couldn’t be pumped out until flood levels receded. Two concrete pump units took five days, 24 hours a day, to empty the car park. Stone kitchen bench tops with timber floors and tiled balconies are features of the units.

The wainscoting decorative trim needed solid fixing along the lower part of the internal walls, so a plywood lining was installed to chair rail height first, followed by the plasterboard lining. To match the two lining layers below the chair rail, the upper plasterboard was increased to 16mm, allowing the joint to be set flush.

LIPMAN PTY LTD Flood Recovery Villages Phone: 02 9955 7000 Design: Lipman employed architect / design manager North Coast Following the devastating floods in February and March 2022, the Northern Rivers region was severely impacted, necessitating the quick construction of emergency accommodation.

Lipman was engaged by the Crown in the right of NSW, acting through Regional NSW, to construct these villages. The project was completed in an amazing short time of five months, and the Lismore project included 52 dwellings and 100 modules providing 200 beds for displaced persons. During the construction, trades shared machinery in a collaborative fashion to complete the project and get tenants into their accommodation. The project also included outdoor living areas with gas BBQs, emergency lighting, and security. Lipman not only built the villages, but they also sourced bedding, microwaves, air conditioning units, hot water systems, gas supplies, and more. I would like to formally acknowledge by acclamation the efforts of Lipman and their teams.

A well-deserved recipient.

Introduction The 2023 Southern Regions Excellence in Building Awards have covered an extraordinary amount of distance from Wollongong, Bega, Tahmoor, Peakhurst, Bowral, Nowra, Goulburn, Unanderra, Bangalee, Berry, Kangaroo Valley, Ulladulla and surroundings. Each entrant delivered phenomenal projects in every single location.

Southern NSW is famous for its striking greenery, rolling coast lines and an assured feeling of leisure from the moment you arrive. All areas, coastal and regional, offer some of the best locations for construction within Australia.

All entries this year excelled in their builds and have presented the region with remarkable additions that truly have enhanced the community.

Southern Judges Anthony Martin Anthony began his apprenticeship at the age of 15, working alongside his father in 1961. Together, they crafted windows and kitchen cupboards in a shed at home. He vividly recalls cutting hardwood frames on-site using a petrol Sawmaster, a tool he still possesses to this day. In the early days, footings were dug by hand until the late 60s when the introduction of backhoes made the process more efficient.

Upon completing his apprenticeship, Anthony dedicated three nights a week for three years to the Clerk of Works program. In 1968, he became a partner in the family business, specializing in renovations and home construction. This venture spanned many years, providing services to numerous clients. In 1971, Anthony joined the MBA and has maintained his membership ever since.

He is highly regarded within the building industry, recognised for his extensive knowledge and expertise.

Stephen Chapman Stephen is a builder with over 49 years of experience in residential building, as well as commercial fit outs and repairs.

His true passion lies in passive solar design for the domestic market in Australia, aiming to improve living standards for all at a reasonable cost. He constructed his first passive solar house 23 years ago, which was built under the CSIRO Five Star Rating Scheme of that time.

Stephen is a qualified carpenter and licensed builder, having held a builder’s license for 49 years. He was among the first NatHers assessors, now known as the Basix Scheme, and is also a GreenSmart builder. He has served as a Mentor for the MBA CAMS scheme and currently holds the position of President of the MBA Hume Division, a role he has fulfilled for the past three years.

Outside of his professional endeavours, Stephen enjoys hobbies such as scouting, bush care, land regeneration, and volunteer work with the Australian Red Cross. He takes pride in being part of the judging panel for the MBA Southern Regions Excellence in Building Awards.

Greg Bennett

From its humble beginnings in 1948 as a small rural supply and machinery business in Bathurst, Kennards Hire has grown to become the largest family-owned hire business in Australia and New Zealand, with over 190 branches and more than 1,600 staff. From DIY and trade jobs, major events and multi-site construction projects, their extensive, reliable equipment range and responsive service is designed to make your job easy. To hire online head to kennards.com.au or visit a branch today.

Greg started his apprenticeship in 1971 in the Hawkesbury area and studied at Penrith Technical College. In 1977, he started working as a subcontractor and then eventually obtaining his builders licence in 1978. Trusses and frames had only just begun to be manufactured offsite so most of Greg’s experience as a young carpenter was with conventional rooves and framing. Greg worked constantly as a master builder except for three years when he farmed exclusively. Greg had apprentices all through his working life including teaching indigenous youth at TAFE, where he enjoyed passing on his skills. Greg was in partnership with his brother for a short time after farming then worked as a sole trader until forming BLD Constructions with two former apprentices. In 2009, he was awarded Carpenter of the Year for NSW by Wood, Naturally Better. Greg enjoys all aspects of building and working with timber.

“We are a family owned and operated business since 1988 servicing the local community but focusing on trade.”

by Landorf and Davide Manfredi) Their safety culture appears to be of a high standard. Construct sites are rarely perfect, but the fact they can learn openly across the breadth of the business is an excellent initiative. They state, “From our Apprentices to our Construction Managers, all staff are required to present to their workgroups on lessons learned, initiatives, and safe work practices. Our Value of Trust is heavily promoted, and our staff are open and honest in what is shared with the rest of the business, with accountability shown for mistakes. Leadership groups within our workgroups set the standard for accountability and remove barriers of ego or fear of reprimand by being open with issues, incidents, or areas of weakness that have been identified.”

Clearly, the builder’s management and coordination were outstanding to overcome the latent conditions of the site and provided the client with a high quality project throughout.

ZAUNER CONSTRUCTION PTY LTD Orange Private Hospital Phone: 02 6025 1988 Orange Private Hospital is a boutique, short-stay private hospital located in Orange, NSW, within the Bloomfield Medical Centre Building.

The hospital was a 4,500sqm design and construct fitout project over two full floors providing specialised surgical services and excellent facilities, including five state-of-the-art operating theatres with space for two more future fitout theatres, Day Surgery recovery rooms, 16 private ensuite rooms for longer post-operative stays, and a six-bed Close Observation Unit and dedicated Paediatric Ward.

The project required close interaction and coordination with hospital-supplied specialised contractors and supplies. Significant efforts by the project delivery team allowed the project to achieve the very tight timeline, with a defect-free handover being achieved on time for the client, enabling them to obtain their hospital licence less than one week after completion and handover.

A major challenge to the builder culminating in a quality finished, attractive and innovative hospital building.

RESTORATION OF AN HISTORIC BUILDING (COMMERCIAL)

ROSS CLARK CONSTRUCTIONS The 1880 Hotel Phone: 0412 358 087 Design: Calare Civil Pty Ltd The old hotel was basically derelict and could not be opened for health and safety reasons. Ross Clark Constructions has undertaken a major restoration and renovation project of the building’s ground floor that encompasses around 961sqm.

The 1880 offers a bistro with seating for up to 100 people, a secluded whisky bar, a sports lounge with TAB, public bar and an undercover alfresco area which provides a large new area for meals and live entertainment for over 200 people.

The building was first built in 1857 and first licensed in 1880, hence, the name of the Hotel.

Materials complementing the heritage character of the building were incorporated in the project.

Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout this very difficult project. Congratulations to Ross Clark Constructions and their team.
