Having already been awarded Bricklaying Apprentice of the Year, Dale Alcock Homes South West employee, Nik Foster, went on to win the overall 2016 South West Apprentice of the Year. Mr Foster will compete against other Building Excellence Awards winning apprentices later this year for the title of the State’s overall best regional apprentice and the opportunity to be judged along with metropolitan winners in the search for Master Builders’ 2016 Apprentice of the Year. The South West’s Display Home of the Year was won by Home Group WA for The Indiana Platinum in Australind. Customer service awards, which always set the benchmark for delivery of quality services and products to the industry’s clients, were won by M-Sky Homes (Best Customer Service Small Builders), Home Group WA South West (Medium Builders) and Dale Alcock Homes South West (Large Builders). The Best Customer Service for Suppliers and Professionals was awarded to Structerre Consulting Engineers, making it two years backto-back.
Dunsborough Carpentry, which worked on the Best Country Home, was named Subcontractor of the Year and JAK Civil’s Koombana North Forward Works project, the Best Civil Engineering Works winner. Mr Bosustow said the South West region will be well represented by quality projects and people at this year’s Master Builders Excellence in Construction and Apprentice of the Year Awards and at the February, 2017 Master Builders Housing Excellence Awards. “Every year the quality of builds in the South West continues to improve,” he said. “The Building Excellence Awards are a fantastic result for contractors and, of course, for the ultimate winners, the consumers. Master Builders applauds everyone in the industry who plays a part in the construction process from start to finish.”
