N EW SO U T H WALES Over the next six years, the opportunities for work in the building and construction industry in New South Wales will significantly increase. The latest State budget focuses on significant investment in the industry and economic forecasters suggest that New South Wales is fast becoming the powerhouse of the Australian economy. The industry will, however, feel the impact of many reviews, legislative changes, and government recommendations from various industry inquiries.

Recently, the state government announced an inquiry into the operation of home warranty insurance. This is a welcome opportunity to deal with concerns impacting not only on the ability of builders to grow their businesses, but also seriously restricting the entry of young people into the industry. And while recent changes to the Home Building Act have been a long time coming, they are an integral part of addressing a number of issues for those constructing homes.

Meanwhile, in the commercial sector, the building unions have issued their latest pattern enterprise bargain agreement, a new Federal Building code of practice is awaiting parliamentary debate, and a Royal Commission is once again looking into our industry. Proposed changes to strata law are currently under consultation and new planning laws are still awaiting further discussion.

Many thousands of tradespeople are also entering retirement in the coming years, further impacting the industry. Historically, this has been balanced through the apprenticeship system; however, at the current rate it will not satisfy the retirement rate, thus leaving a major shortage in the future. It is critical that the industry embraces the engagement of apprentices to make our industry the first choice of career for young Australians.

It is therefore encouraging to see a greater number of young builders coming through and being acknowledged for excellence by their peers as part of this year’s Newcastle Excellence in Building Awards.

The Newcastle Excellence in Building Awards is a celebration and acknowledgement of excellence in the Hunter region. This year the industry has yet again produced magnificent quality and an exceptional level of detail in all sectors of the industry.

On behalf of the Master Builders Association of NSW I congratulate all the entrants and winners of the Excellence in Building Awards for 2014. I would also like to thank the judges and the sponsors for supporting such an important event.

Paul Maginnity President of Master Builders Association of NSW

N EW CAST LE As my term as President of Newcastle Master Builders comes to a close, I must say it has been truly an honour to represent the Association for the past two years. 2014 in particular has been a challenging time within the building and construction industry but, as we know, with every challenge comes an opportunity to create something truly inspirational. It’s the ability to overcome these challenges and deliver the impossible that makes our industry so great.

It is also pleasing to see more young people joining the industry, celebrated by the Apprentice of the Year and Young Builder of the Year Awards. They are also achieving success in various other categories and on significant projects.

From the managers, to the tradespeople, and everyone in between, teamwork is vital in creating successful outcomes. Behind each remarkable award-winning project is a dedicated team who made it happen. The Master Builders in the Hunter Region are no different and everyone involved deserves to be congratulated.

Each year the Master Builders award winners raise the bar and motivate others to pursue excellence. All the projects showcased are a testament to this. The winners have demonstrated the high calibre of people we have in our industry today.

I want to thank our corporate sponsors. Without your support, these awards would not possible. I also want to thank our judges, who have spent countless hours deliberating.

I wish incoming President Mr Peter DiPrinzio all the best in his two year term. I am sure his guidance and maturity will lead the Association well.

N EW CAST LE The past few years have been a challenging time for the building and construction industry, with economic uncertainty being the major factor in the delay of investment and development. Despite this, Newcastle is still performing strongly. The region is continuing to expand and the Hunter Regional Strategy calls for 90,000 new residential dwellings over the next 30 years to cater for 160,000 new residents.

Investment in the CBD is strong, with the new Law Court currently under construction in Hunter Street and work on the University of Newcastle Business and Law School Inner City Campus commencing soon.

The Heavy Rail Line is being removed, while the renewal of the Newcastle Mall and the expansion of Newcastle Airport provides a positive economic outlook for the region.

This year, the Newcastle Excellence in Building Awards have once again produced exceptional examples of traditional building skills combined with innovative designs and building practices throughout the Hunter Valley. In addition to celebrating excellence in building construction, we also farewell Simon Webber as President of the Newcastle Master Builders Association.

I would personally like to thank Simon for his dedication and commitment during his presidency. He has been instrumental in raising funds for various charities via the Newcastle MBA Charity Ball since 2010. During this period, the Ball raised over $136,000 for medical research and children’s disabilities.

It is a great honour to be appointed President of the Newcastle Master Builders Association and I am proud to accept this position so that I might continue Simon’s great work.

On behalf of the Newcastle Master Builders Association, I would like to thank all the sponsors who continue to support the awards. Your contribution is very much appreciated. I would also like to congratulate all the winners and entrants of the 2014 Master Builders Excellence in Building Awards for their commitment to quality construction in Australia.

Young Builder of the Year

Matt Sharpe Phone 0417 667 239 Company Mavid Construction The winning entry was accompanied by many references from several Industry Peers and Clients, past and present.

The support for this builder was evident. The common theme in all references related to the builders passion for building, a very hard work ethic and his transparent communication right through the building process. One referee wrote “we have built twice before and we can ensure you, this, by far, has been the best experience of the three” Another wrote” All projects that I have worked on with him have been delivered on time, on budget and usually beyond the clients expectations” And further “ he is a kind, caring, friendly and generous person and treats his staff, sub contractors, project consultants and clients with the upmost respect” This coupled with the success of his business which has grown over such a short period of time, shows that he is not only a good builder but also a great businessman.

Extensions, Renovations & Refurbishments Under $1 Million

Core Project Group Pty Ltd Phone 0477 995 580 Project John Hunter Hospital-Paediatric Outpatients, New Lambton Heights Architect/Designer EJE Architecture This project showcased the difficulties of carrying out refurbishment works in an occupied and busy hospital.

The 440 sq metre area of the work zone was stripped out including old masonry partitions, and the various floor toppings used during the original fit-out. Demolition materials were manually handled because the works area was within the interior plan of the building, with dust management protocols including containment wrapping of trolleys for transits through the operating hospital and public areas and moist wiping of container surfaces with sanitising wipes. Internal fitout, floor linings and covings, joinery and ceiling features to EJE Architecture’s design specifications were all completed to high standard.

Restoration of a Historic Building

Kingston Building Australia Pty Ltd Phone 0405 422 114 Project Maitland Courthouse Roof Replacement and Maintenance, Maitland Possibly one of Maitland’s most well known 1895 heritage listed buildings was overdue for a roof refurbishment. Works required the replacement of the slate roof, hand-moulded 3mm lead flashings selected for heritage reasons, and to carry out internal restoration works to limited walls and ceilings, including the highly detailed traditional style of the main court house ceiling. The works were complicated by working around court sitting dates, and above the occupied site, with operating staff working with no noise disturbance restraints during the times that the court was in sitting. This resulted in a disjointed works program, occasionally being rescheduled at short notice due to the needs of the Registrar.

Security protocols were put in place to minimise impact of the construction work on the residents, including novel use of lightweight insulated hoardings to partition works areas from the residents. Completed works present a modern, complete and very tidy upgrade to the staff and residents, while improving site amenity, workflow efficiencies and drainage along the main street frontage.

The main feature of the buildings is the roof structure, which covers the roof and flows down the vertical wall panels back into the structure. The sheets feature different colours aligning with the symmetry of the louvres and explosion vents. An active approach was taken regarding the treatment and handling of asbestos from the old site.

Due to problems in ground conditions and a proactive approach, these issues were overcome without affecting the aggressive programme. The standard of concrete finish and workmanship is exceptional.

The builder provided a high degree of workmanship to internal and external finishes, internal joinery and feature walls. Wall cladding included a combination of stone-faced walls and Alucobond. Natural subfloor ventilation was augmented by a low energy mechanical system to address physical site limitations arising, due to the cut and fill required and avoiding overexcavation costs.

Workcover Excellence in Work Health & Safety Award

Hansen Yuncken Pty Ltd Phone 0417 203 079 Project Ausgrid Ourimbah Depot Project, Ourimbah The WHS Management Systems used by Hansen Yuncken at the Ausgrid Ourimbah Site provide a logical evolution of an already well developed safety management system.

It demonstrates a strong commitment and systematic approach to managing Work Health and Safety. Whilst the emphasis is clearly on undertaking work, safely and efficiently, an increasing awareness of “recover at work philosophies” indicates a shift, which will ensure that the culture of Hansen Yuncken is focused on the full spectrum of Work, Health and Safety. Recent initiatives employed by Hansen Yuncken at the site would improve WHS outcomes, if more widely used by the construction industry.
