REDEFINING EXCELLENCE FOR A POSITIVE FUTURE

with Paul Bidwell CEO Master Builders Queensland

CONGRATULATIONS to our 2022 Housing & Construction Awards winners for another outstanding year of quality projects.

We are not only celebrating award winners, but we are also commending our members for pushing through these interesting, everchanging times of 2022.

It was truly reassuring to see the high standard of entries and the excitement leading to the winners’ announcements, this is testament to our industry embracing new ideas to redefine excellence.

Our strong membership base is skilled, determined and constantly pushing the limits, which ensures we’re a major force within the residential and commercial sectors.

Builders and trade contractors are continuing to keep pace with the welcome demand born out of government stimulus and record interstate migration despite interest rates hikes.

With builders looking for certainty and stability, we will continue to explore ways we can support the industry into the future. Whether it be financial stability, building quality or mental and physical health, we will stay the course.

We pride ourselves on always having our members backs, whether that means being there in times of need, tackling issues that are important to them, or celebrating their achievements.

It’s important to champion our determined industry, encourage positivity and praise the quality workmanship and exceptional expertise Master Builders are well-known for.

It is with great honour that I welcome you to the 2022 Queensland Awards winners’ magazine.

For more than 30 years, our widely renowned awards program has been regarded as an opportunity for the industry to reflect on their hard work, cheer each other on and get recognition for their successful efforts.

It also gives our communities a chance to see the impressive work that goes into producing the best of the best building projects across the state.

with Paul Bidwell CEO Master Builders Queensland

The Awards cater for entrants ranging from apprentices to trade contractors and small family businesses to the biggest names in the industry. The efforts of individuals are also an important focus, from our rising stars to women dominating in the industry.

It doesn’t matter whether they’ve taken an Award home this year or not. Each of our 2022 entrants is a part of the Master Builders family and helps cement why we’re so widely trusted and respected.

It’s our members who think out of the box that were the inspiration behind our 2022 Queensland Housing & Construction Awards program – Redefining Excellence. The projects in the spotlight this year prove they continue to adapt, evolve and change.

Our judges were once again surprised and impressed with the incredible projects throughout the state.

This year’s entries boasted quality finishes, high level of detail and astounding degree of difficulty in construction.

The President’s Award was awarded based

on the quality of workmanship within the residential category and considered the builder’s attention to detail and overall craftsmanship.

As always, the panel was on the lookout for external appeal, siting and aspect, as well as amenities and aesthetics, not the styling or interior design.

With a diverse field of entries, from beachfront apartments and country homesteads to state-of the-art healthcare and educational facilities, the Queensland building community came together and smashed it out of the park.

I am immensely proud of our Queensland builders, tradies and everyone who is a part of what makes this industry so great.

With our membership base reaching close to 9,500 and growing, our team are committed to helping businesses, big and small, succeed.

If you are considering building your dream home or diving in to that long-planned renovation, consider this a showcase of the incredible work that can be achieved when you choose a Master Builder.

Resort style waterfront home brings peaceful ambience

With a vision to create a modern home with a resort-like atmosphere, Braeden Constructions expertly brought their clients’ dream to life.

Located in Noosa Heads, the Modern Thai House capitalises on its waterfront position and offers a tropical feel while boasting the best in modern luxury.

The three-level home includes a basement living level that is below the level of the river, ground floor, suspended first floor slab and suspended perimeter roof slab.

The design maximises the view across the river and offers multiple, expansive living spaces.

Designed by Chris Clout, the home is built to open up completely for an indoor/outdoor living feel.

Living spaces include a gorgeous open-plan living room, which flows out to a deck and ultimately on to the pool and outdoor dining pavilion.

The pavilion is within the pool area, and offers

an outdoor kitchen, dining and living spaces, making it an entertainer’s dream.

The pool is tiled and is complemented by an acrylic spa and full width transparent front wall facing onto the river.

An unexpected, and welcome addition to the pool, is the sunken fire-pit set amidst the pool.

The house has many timber highlights which gives it a tropical feel.

The roof is constructed with asphalt shingles over pitched roof frame; the curved concrete staircases in the house were poured in situ and finished with New Guinea rosewood treads and handrails, with curved glass balustrade.

The main feature windows are double glazed new guinea rosewood, each panel weighing up to 340 kilograms, but complete the tropical look and feel of the home.

This modern marvel takes tropical luxury to a new level of sophistication and execution.

Noosa’s Modern Thai House by Braeden Constructions Pty Ltd was named the Colorbond House of the Year .

Residential tower adds style to Brisbane skyline

Multiplex Constructions took home the coveted BCA Certifiers Project of the Year award for their ambitious Brisbane project, The One.

The multi-stage $1 billion development is a true feat of construction, comprising of three stages at 300 George Street - all delivered by Multiplex.

Under construction since 2015, Brisbane’s newest innovative precinct was completed in June, shaping the city’s skyline.

Stage one comprised of the Brisbane Quarter retail precinct and five-star W Brisbane Hotel, while the second stage was the commercial tower at a massive 42 levels.

The third and final stage, The One Residences, includes 467 luxury apartments over 83-storeys and offers spectacular views of the greater Brisbane area and surrounding hinterlands.

The opulent apartments offer a world-class

residential structure in the city’s newest and most contemporary precinct. Judges acknowledged it was a difficult job for Multiplex Constructions as they had to collaborate with several stakeholders due to the tower’s height.

The $300 million residential tower is now one of the city’s tallest towers at 274.3 metres high.

Regional Managing Director of Multiplex, Graham Cotton, said the project took more than 1,359,000 man-hours to complete, as well as 30,000 cubic metres of concrete.

The site was previously the location of the Queensland Supreme Court and encompasses more than 7890sqm of land in the inner city with frontage to North Quay, George, Adelaide and Ann streets.

The result is an iconic project set to reinvigorate the traditional legal precinct and designed to fit into the masterplan for Brisbane.

Multiplex Constructions takes home the BCA Certifiers Project of the Year for the third and final stage of the 300 George Street development, Brisbane Quarter.

Built around Lifestyle.

Building around lifestyle has never been better

Since unveiling their first display home in 1997 on the Sunshine Coast, family-owned residential construction company McLachlan Homes has been successfully creating and building award-winning homes from Noosa to Brisbane. With a strong team of loyal tradies and experienced staff, McLachlan Homes has been staying true to its motto to ‘build around lifestyle’ while creating enviable homes that are not only beautifully designed but, most importantly, are highly liveable. McLachlan Homes offers a wide selection of award-winning residential designs as well as the flexibility to create a custom project at no additional cost.

The Dakota

Spread over a generous 303 square metre floor plan, this impeccable waterfront home delivers big on contemporary style and innovate design. With its carefully curated mix of materials, including render, timber-look aluminium battens and Cemintel Territory cladding, the Dakota impresses from the outset and sets the scene for the ideal indoor-outdoor lifestyle that McLachlan Homes is renowned for. Step inside and you’ll be delighted by the fully-decked entry courtyard, beautifully curved interior walls, timber-detailed 3.6-metre-high ceilings and

breathtaking expanses of glass that bathe the home in an abundance of natural light.

The liveability factor of the stunning Dakota is high, thanks to oodles of living space. It’s a warm and inviting home that have been built with family living in mind while allowing for a welcoming space in which to entertain family and friends year-round. Starting with the open plan kitchen, dining and family zone, which includes an elegant built-in bar, and continuing to the expansive alfresco entertaining space with built-in barbecue overlooking the stunning plunge pool with water feature, every element of liveability has been carefully considered and catered for.

The stunning Dakota is an ideal family home, thanks to the balance of private spaces and open-plan living.

The Azure

From its beautifully crafted façade it’s immediately obvious that the attention to detail in this contemporary home makes it a stand-out. The carefully considered neutral colour palette sets a harmonious tone. From the polished concrete floors to the soaring 4.5-metre-high ceiling in the dining area and the crisp white timber detailing, the Azure sets out to impress with intelligent

design and functionality. The generous footprint provides its residents with plenty of flexibility, with two bedrooms and a master suite located on the ground floor and an additional bedroom and master suite on the second floor. It was paramount to balance the five bedrooms with plenty of living space. This home also offers private spaces, such as the sitting room and an elegant powder room for guests, providing more privacy for the family zones. The inviting and clutter-free kitchen welcomes with onyx grey cabinetry and textured stone tops. Folding doors hide a martini bar with wine fridge. Simply fold them back to make the bar accessible when entertaining. The dining and family spaces seamlessly flow through to a luxurious alfresco zone, with bespoke barbecue cabinetry, and pool.

The Azure is a stylish and unique home, which offers a highly desirable level of flexibility that is much sought after by families today.

The Zen

This McLachlan Homes’ creation is called the Zen for a reason. Thanks to its warm and smooth surfaces and elegant colour scheme, this eye-catching family home, which is positioned on a corner block, exudes

tranquillity and delivers enormous street appeal. The result is a striking modern contemporary façade fused with clean, balanced Asian-style elements.

Leave life’s stressors behind and step indoors where the sense of serenity continues with open plan interiors bathed in an abundance of natural light, comprising of a modern kitchen, complete with a luxurious stone island and butler’s pantry, dining and family zone with sleek bespoke cabinetry and an adjoining bar. And there’s no need to leave home to enjoy a movie in style as concealed behind an impressive barn door is a spacious media room. Adjacent is a must-have study nook for two with a custom-designed desk and plenty of storage.

When it’s time to rest, the Zen has four bedrooms to choose from and a sumptuous family bathroom with floating cabinetry. The expansive master suite, with views of the inviting pool, is cleverly located in a private zone and has its own private pergola.

From its undeniable street appeal to its functional layout and high-quality workmanship, the Zen is a memorable family home that is easily adaptable to suit the way you live.

Journey

Focused on building dreams

With more than 30 years in the building and construction industry, the owners of TFA Constructions knew a thing or two when they started Brisbane-based TFA Constructions 13 years ago. Years working in the family construction business and degrees in construction management and architecture have meant they are well-equipped to successfully adhere to the company motto of ‘building dreams for a living’. With a focus on community care facilities, including but not limited to childcare centres and places of worship, TFA Constructions comprises 36 employees within the design and construct teams.

Holland Park Mosque - Community Service Facilities

Built in 1908, the mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Australia at over 114 years old. It’s not only a place of worship, however, as it also serves as a community hub by hosting facilities and services that accommodate many community events. Due to its age and the intense use of the building, an extensive renovation was required in order for it to withstand the requirements of the current community needs. The site is heritage listed and there were a lot more factors that impacted the projects success. The scope of works started with a 60 per cent extension

of the footprint of the existing two-storey building plus an introduction of a basement under the existing heritage structure. The design and construction of basement bathrooms, a comprehensive renovation of internal and external finishes to the building, and the addition a new three-storey lift shaft were also required.

A detailed client brief also required prayer facilities with city views, a series of multipurpose rooms, offices and boardrooms with grand chandeliers, geometric and Islamic architecture, hand-designed carpet, self-cleaning floors in all wet areas, an open courtyard at the front, and unique LED floating bulkheads.

To fulfil the brief, ISA Architects re-designed and managed approvals for the building from the ground up with a basement excavation, underpinning, new extended ground floor and upper floors slabs and external masonry walls. The roof structure was extended and a custom-made state of the art fiberglass dome was added - this was extremely challenging given that the dome would be the focal point of the mosque. The size and extent of the project meant extensive demolition works were needed, which meant careful planning on site for both site safety and building integrity. The brief was expanded

to include an extra dedicated study and library space on the ground floor and a prayer area on the upper floor as well as a new kitchenette to cater for future community functions.

The build provided numerous challenges and significant planning from the construction team to ensure its successful delivery, in particular given that almost all items were custom made to suit the project including custom-made rolled aluminium windows, imported large format tiles that were to be laid in a certain format, requiring specialist tilers.

Both TFA Constructions & ISA Architects worked tirelessly to perfect the brief and ensure every detail was considered for a seamless design and construction process, which is evident in the quality of the workmanship and final result.

Expeditions Early Learning Journey – Educational facilities

The centre accommodates 183 children in a large building of more than 1000 square metres situated on an enormous 3500 square metre block. The centre was to be designed in such a way that all nine classrooms would have direct access to the external playscape area. The project presented with numerous challenges including dealing with

a difficult neighbour, mid-project design changes, and a last-minute request by the centre for a full commercial kitchen. TFA designed a comprehensive plan to bring the commercial kitchen to fruition, including the installation of a grease trap, despite the fact that underground plumbing and a concrete slab had been laid. Custom kitchen joinery was also designed and installed by TFA. The project also included a 100,000L underground stormwater detention tank providing structural support for a 100,000L stateof-the-art outdoor swimming pool and a 7-metre-high retaining wall. Incredibly, overall project costs were kept within the agreed budget, and the centre was completed within the agreed timeline required.

Experts in Design AND Construction

As one of Australia’s most respected industrial and commercial builders, Vaughan Constructions provides valuable expertise with a visionary solution. Two of every three projects we develop are from returning customers, proving our commitment to building customers for life.

Heathwood Chilled & Frozen Distribution Centre (HCFDC)

Winner of the award for Excellence in Construction of Industrial Buildings – Over $5 million at the Brisbane Master Builders Awards Delivered on behalf of Woolworths Group and LOGOS Group

Vaughan Constructions: influencing the landscape of Aussie architecture for more than six decades.

Since 1955, Vaughan Constructions has had an enviable reputation as design and construction professionals who specialise in industrial and commercial facilities.

The company has built a reputation for being one of the industry’s most client-aware national construction firms by way of a proven approach to resolving our customers’ specific needs, within tricky budget and time constraints.

Vaughan Constructions prides itself on “Building Customers for Life” with two of every three projects they develop are from returning clients.

Vaughan’s portfolio includes some of the largest structures in the Southern Hemisphere, servicing Australia wide, with licensed and experienced commercial builders in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Darwin.

Consistently ranked in Australia’s top 400 private companies, with a turnover in excess of $400 million per annum, Vaughan possesses an enviable balance sheet.

Their key focus is to provide customers with a single point of contact for the duration of an entire project. This saves significant time, while still keeping the company responsible for the design, construction and project delivery.

They pride themselves on working closely with internal stakeholders to establish the client’s specific requirements, and have now completed over 2,500 projects.

Currently, Vaughan is completing the 22,000 square metre Customer Fulfilment Centre for Woolworths in Auburn, New South Wales. The future-forward, highly automated facility will help Woolworths’ personal shoppers pick and dispatch up to 50,000 home deliveries a week.

Hezzelic Homes’ win for Weathertex Excellence in Sustainable Living

Starting in the industry in 1998 as a secondgeneration builder, going independent in 2004 and rebranding to Hezzelic Homes soon after in 2008, this year’s winner for Excellence in Sustainable Living is intent on making each customer’s vision tangible.

Open to a range of designer floor plans, facades, and inclusions with capability for specific customisation, Hezzelic Homes is motivated and excited by contemporary home designs and creative build possibilities.

It is a carefully curated team of trades with relationships developed from more than 20 years working in the industry. Beginning life as a carpentry team for high-end homes, the business has expanded into bringing that same intense attention to detail through the entirety of each build.

Hezzelic Homes was founded with the firm belief that every build is unique and should be treated like a partnership – not simply a job to be completed.

The team designs and constructs a select number of projects across the greater Brisbane area every year, taking satisfaction from turning ideas into timber, stone, plaster, brick and metal as each build progresses.

“We are not rigid in our operation and ensure we can cater to each client’s specific and

individual needs. Each build is unique and treated accordingly,” Hezzelic’s director Dwain says.

“We build homes which have every detail meticulously considered,” he says, presenting their portfolio to date as a sample of their undeniable quality and the fervour that goes into the creation of their builds.

Ubuntu – the home for which they took home the win for Weathertex Excellence in Sustainable Living – was built for a client with a deep focus on sustainability.

“The client originally purchased land in the Currumbin eco village to build their forever home, but, with the arrival of grandchildren in Brisbane, they moved to the suburbs, fitting the sustainable mindset into the surrounding community and showing what can be done.”

Hezzelic spent time with the client right from the original site selection and the search for the ideal location.

“Had it not been for local council requirements, this

build would be a totally off grid dwelling in the heart of suburbia,” Dwain says.

Studies were used to determine optimum awning overhangs to the north side, to block sun during hotter months while allowing the sunlight in during winter. The house was carefully designed to minimise energy use through climate-responsive design and consideration of daily and seasonal light change.

Hezzelic deems a successful build to be one that materialises the specific desired outcome for its resident.

Colorbond House of the Year: Modern Thai House by Braeden Constructions

Specialised team goes the extra mile to create masterpieces

Operating as Antonio Building since 2003, Director Gavin Antonio first entered the industry in 1993 as a mature aged apprentice.

“I was looking for a career change and wanted to pursue a career that was handson, creative, and where no two days are the same,” he says.

“I was exposed to many diverse projects during my apprenticeship, both commercial and residential, which gave me a passion and drive to start my own building company, specialising in custom projects.”

The company would go on to strengthen its expertise in custom residential homes and expand to sloping site homes, major residential renovations, units and commercial projects.

Servicing the Darling Downs and into western Queensland, the company has grown to a tight-knit team of seven.

“My wife Maree handles the administration side of the business and our team consists of our supervisor, two tradesmen and two apprentices. We also work with an Interior Design consultant who assists our clients with their internal selections,” said Gavin.

By keeping the team quite small they’re able to move with agility, and lend intense focus onto the client experience.

“Our business is built entirely on the relationships we create with our clients,” Gavin explains.

“It’s so important to recognize that every client has their own vision for their build, and I consider it my role to listen and advise our clients, so they get the most out of their build and budget, while maintaining their individuality and to have a positive and stress-free experience.”

The team prides itself on going the extra mile to try and source innovative and ontrend products, and only engage reputable subcontractors with proven skills.

“Our team can handle difficult terrain, large projects and custom plans with ease and confidence. We take our commitment to our clients seriously, to build a masterpiece that both parties can be truly proud of – we always want to create a timeless space that you can enjoy for years to come” he says.

They’re also dedicated to completing projects on

time, on budget and with meticulous attention to detail – and believe it’s what sets them apart from bigger firms.

There is also a pure and genuine joy to the process for Gavin, that permeates the entire operation.

“I find it an absolute pleasure to continue providing our award-winning building service to the Toowoomba region. We love a challenge!”.

“I’m very proud of our association, with and thankful for the ongoing support from, the Master Builders.”

The Renew Company: Pushing renovation boundaries

The Renew Company is a multi-time Master Builder Award winner, very well recognised in the industry for their creative, professional craftsmanship.

TRC goes to great lengths to make sure that clients are placing your desired project with an experienced, professional team by their rigorous focus on hiring skilled tradespeople.

A spokesperson for the firm says, “We often hear clients being told no or that something is just not realistic and having their project steered into a different direction. But our team takes a lot of pride in listening to our customer’s ideas or concepts and collaborating to bring it to life.”

With many years of experience and varied expertise behind them, The Renew Company has completed multiple projects across the Toowoomba and Queensland region with great care and creativity.

“The reward for us,” says the spokesperson, “is seeing our client’s response to the finished product. We are client focused; we listen to your needs; desires and we will deliver services in a timely thought-out manner.”

They go one to say that for The Renew Company, renovating a home not only restores the house but it restores the story, that it’s not just a job but a passion that they

take great pride in.

A local family owned business based in Toowoomba, the team specialise in residential renovations mainly, but always take a special interest in projects where they feel they can produce a top-quality job and leave their creative stamp.

This year the team took home the Master Builders prize of Home Renovation remodelling project from $200,000 - $400,000 for their Cranley Project.

The renovation - a Queenslander built around 1903 - had multiple aspects of this that made it special.

Working really closely with the owners the team had an opportunity to really show how creative we can be in areas such as creating and designing window seat wardrobes on site, a unique ensuite entry breezeway and a rustic iron bark haven of an outdoor entertaining area.

The spokesperson explains, “You need to have a strong

ability to understand the nature, age, style of the property, and figure out ways of exploiting original features.”

Of the win they say, “We’re extremely grateful for being able to work in an industry we are passionate about. We want to keep pushing the boundaries in this field showcasing our ability and why we think we can bring something a little different to the renovation world.”

Impressive double win for Bryant Building and Construction

Established in Cairns in 1986 as a family business, Bryant Building has helped Queensland grow for nearly forty years. Expertly building infrastructure and supporting local business the company also proudly provides employment and training opportunities from the Torres Strait to the Gold Coast.

Buoyed by its work in North Queensland, Bryant opened a two-person office in Brisbane in July 2014. Today, this office had grown to over 40 full-time staff and includes 2 directors who oversee operations. In addition to Cairns and Brisbane, Bryant has full-service offices in the Gold Coast and Toowoomba, and branch offices in the Sunshine Coast and Rockhampton.

Lorraine Grant, Director of Corporate Services, says these years of success mainly comes down to their most important resource. “Our diverse team of people. Our people are dedicated and offer extensive knowledge in all aspects of construction. We are proud that our team consistently reflects the highest standard of workmanship and ethics.”

Bryant COE and founder, Max Bryant, has been in the construction industry for almost 50 years. In 1976 he joined his brother’s firm, Geoff Bryant Constructions. Max and Geoff

spent the next two decades delivering building projects – mainly residential - across North Queensland, including several in remote Indigenous communities.

They also constructed modular buildings in many logistically challenging locations like Groote Eylandt (NT), and Weipa (Cape York) for mining giants BHP and Rio Tinto.

Following the mid-tier construction company’s early focus on custom-built residential and sustainable housing, Bryant is now a statewide commercial builder specialising in remote community projects, education and health facilities, industrial construction and multi-storey apartment developments.

Bryant now employs around eighty full-time staff across its four Queensland offices, including a unique Indigenous Partnerships Officer. The Cairns branch alone has thirteen office base staff, five site supervisors and seven trades assistants.

When it comes to their client-first approach, Lorraine says the most important thing for the

company is; “Excellent working relationships with our clients. Our management team, project managers and site supervisors go out of their way to build vital working relationships with clients.”

She goes on, “We always endeavour to apply value engineering principles that identify and remove unnecessary expenditures and improve the project. We listen to our clients, keep them informed every step of the way and always strive to deliver beyond their expectations.”

This year Bryant took home the wins for best Industrial Building over $5 million and best Commercial Building from $5 million up to $50 million.

Mosaic powers ahead with $1b of SEQ residential projects

Despite the present headwinds challenging the property and construction sector, South East Queensland-based Mosaic Property Group remains bullish about the region’s opportunity, with just shy of one billion dollars in developments underway and an expanding pipeline.

The prolific private developer has completed 58 projects since 2014 alone. It currently has 13 sold-out medium and high-density luxury residential projects in various delivery stages across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast.

The company has notched up ten projects on the Sunshine Coast to date, with its First Bay by Mosaic in Coolum Beach taking out Master Builders coveted Sushine Coast Project of the Year category, as well as Residential Building highrise over 3 storeys up to $20 million at the 2022 awards. Mosaic also won Project of the Year in 2021 for its first Maroochydore project – Avalon by Mosaic

Its internal building arm, Mosaic Construction, is responsible for delivering more than 95% of its current pipeline, with only one project currently being built by an external builder. All building programs remain on track, equating to over 850 new homes due to be completed within the next two years. Mosaic Founder and Managing Director Brook Monahan said that while they were not immune to the profound challenges facing the building and construction sector, one factor has been critical to the Company’s resilience over the years.

“We are unique to most developers because we have a fully-integrated business model. We manage every aspect of the development process; from research, site acquisition, design, marketing and sales to construction,

settlement and property and asset management.”

“It ensures we always deliver on our promises to customers while managing the vast array of risks that can arise from third-party suppliers. Not once have we failed to deliver a project. We have a 100% valuation and settlement rate and a consistent 0% vacancy rate across all previously completed Mosaic projects.”

ENDURING VALUE

Our

Proud

Boutique builder takes top spot

Lamper Constructions is a young, innovative boutique builder committed to raising the standard of building.

Directors Steven and Sophie Lamper have established their business on the Sunshine Coast over the past four years, building a reputation for excellence through their uncompromising dedication to quality craftsmanship and their genuine passion for the industry.

Showcasing their first entry and awardwinning project in the 2019 Sunshine Coast Housing & Construction Awards, they continue to push boundaries and set the bar higher each year shaping their focus on high end luxury homes.

The Lamper Constructions team proudly celebrate this year’s award-winning project – Leeding Residence which took out the Sunshine Coast Individual Home from $950,000 up to $1.25 million category.

Architecturally designed with elongated sharp lines and a complimentary flow of noncombustible feature elements, harmoniously embracing its natural environment.

Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards

A luxurious, modern rural home situated on a ridge with panoramic views of the Glass House Mountains and Ewen Maddock Dam.

Bringing a traditional Queenslander back to life

A passion for building better and working with like minded professionals led to the creation of SE Building Solutions.

From the humble beginnings of Steve working on his own to creating a team of tradesmen working on architectural and designer builds, this Brisbane-based company is taking the industry by storm.

From the concept stage to the design and council-approval process right through to construction, SE Building Solutions understands the importance of having experienced, highly skilled people on the job.

The Master Builders award-winning Camden project is one the company is especially proud of - taking out the Brisbane Home Renovation/Remodelling Project up to $200,000 award - and it epitomises the detail and quality the team strive for on every project..

The client brief was to create an open

plan living space within the traditional Queenslander to allow better flow through the home.

The brief also stipulated luxury finishes and modern fixtures that complement rather than detract from the character features of the home.

Client involvement and effective communication are a trademark of SE Building Solutions, which is firm in the belief that together these elements ensure that every client’s dream home becomes a reality.

Clever design takes out top gong

The Reynolds Home Brookwater sits in a private gated sanctuary, overlooking the international golf course in Brookwater.

The site has a reasonable slope down from the road with views to the southeast over the golf course.

The bespoke design by KJ Constructions Q Pty Ltd utilises the slope down from the road in a positive way to provide views to multiple rooms.

The design also incorporates all the retaining needed for the site within the home structure. No external retaining walls were needed to finalise the landscaping.

The home is 546sq m which includes four car accommodation, large outdoor covered areas on both levels, up to five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, large living areas on both levels with the main lounge, and dining and kitchen to the upper floor taking in the best views.

The lower level serves as a second home with two of the bedrooms, bathroom, living and media room - a truly multigenerational home.

The lower level has 2.8m ceilings to the exposed concrete slab over and the upper floor has 2.7m ceilings with a conventional trussed roof.

Double insulated and passive design protection from the western sun has proven

to add successfully to the home’s function. Smart design meant that we achieved nearly 546sq m including covered areas for less than $1 650 per square meter including the suspended concrete floor structure.

Thanks goes to our terrific clients who were a big part in the design process and allowed KJ Constructions to be inventive and thoughtful in all problem solving during the design and construction process.

Winning the Rising Star award for the Downs & Western awards, Malcolm George of George Built Constructions has been involved in the construction industry since his teens.

“I was attracted to the industry from work experience during the school holidays,” he said.

“I also would find myself at home helping dad and making things out of old materials.”

The journey began in Warwick with a local builder before Malcolm left school to start his apprenticeship, staying with that builder for five years.

He then moved to Toowoomba and got a job with a local successful earthmoving company.

“During my time there, I worked my way up to the operations manager,” Malcolm said.

“I always knew that I wanted to start my own business one day, but the opportunity of being the operation manager gave me an

insight into what it was like to run a business.

“From there, I made the step to start George Built Constructions.”

It’s been four-and-half years since then, and this year saw the business taking home the award for Individual Home from $350,000 to $450,000 as well, for The Mackenzie.

The Middle Ridge property is a modern and spacious Hampton house with plenty of room to be both practical and functional for the family.

Also nominated for the awards in the Renovations from $200,000 to $400,000 category was Rockford House.

The goal for the renovation was to keep the 1950s exterior while creating a north-facing roof for solar panels, as well as removing a load-bearing wall that ran through the kitchen, living and dining rooms while not resorting to bulkheads so the ceiling was flat throughout.

It’s those kinds of personal and custom touches that George Built Constructions provide that sets the business apart from other builders in the industry.

“I feel as though having myself on the tools ensures that I am overseeing everything first hand, which also is able to directly keep the client up-to-date with the build.”

Alder Group collaboration elevates The York’s success

Alder Group, a combined construction and development company, joined forces with investLogan and the wider Logan community to deliver the $40 million mixed-use commercial project, The York, in August last year.

The 4,660sqm, seven-storey commercial tower jointly developed by Alder Developments and investLogan and built by Alder Constructions is the first major commercial office development in the Logan area in more than a decade.

Designed by local firm Conrad Gargett, The York represents the ultimate business precinct fusing retail, commercial, and residential space with the inclusion of four SoHo apartments, a ground floor retail space, and dual-level underground car park.

Alder Constructions general manager Dean Cheffers says a united development and construction team ensured the seamless delivery of the celebrated A-grade commercial tower.

“The joint venture between Alder Developments and investLogan together with Alder Constructions provided a close-knit team, united to ensure benchmark outcomes were achieved for all stakeholders and as a result, the sustainability and engineering elements of the project are the best in class

for the type and size of the build,” says Mr Cheffers.

Mr Cheffers says The York - a versatile commercial precinct - is the key to the revitalisation of Beenleigh’s business community.

“The creation of The York marks a coming of age for the Beenleigh precinct as it cements its position as a valued commercial landmark between the Gold Coast and Brisbane,” says Mr Cheffers.

“Not only has it delivered immense social and economic benefits to the Logan community, but it has contributed to the growth and expansion of the suburb as a successful and prosperous business hub.”

The creation of The York saw Alder Group engage with the wider Logan community. The construction division fostered training partnerships with both Beenleigh State High School, which is renowned for its tradetraining and vocational education outcomes, and Aboriginal owned and managed company Red Rock Recruitment.

As a result, 10 students from Beenleigh State High School

had the opportunity to use their recently acquired Certificate I in Construction skills and gain hands-on experience on an active construction site, and 13 local indigenous construction workers were offered employment at the commercial project.

Alder Group - an agile development and construction business which holds both building and civil infrastructure capabilities - is on a steady growth path, expanding its operations throughout SEQ and Northern NSW.

Versatile commercial precinct key to the revitalisation of Beenleigh’s business community

Commitment to quality

Rising star entrant Jay Perham created Brisbane-based Axiom Construction Group based on three pillars – truth, honesty, and integrity.

“Before I established Axiom Construction Group, I took time to consider my personal experiences in the construction industry –28 years in construction has taught me that truth, honesty, and integrity is the only way to be successful,” he said.

“This is how I want my company to be perceived and it is important for me to break the misconception of ‘dodgy’ builders.

“Axiom Construction’s core values were developed based on this – trust, reliability, quality, success.”

Jay started his apprenticeship in 1994 and was trade qualified four years later. At the age of 21, he obtained his subcontract carpentry license and worked his way around

Brisbane seven years later with his family and created Axiom Construction Group with a vision of changing how builders are perceived by the community and to strive for construction excellence.

“Our name – Axiom – means ‘truth’ and Axiom Construction Group was created to focus on quality workmanship, exemplary customer service and delivering projects built over and above the industry standards.”

Axiom Construction Group, co-owned by Women in Building nominee and wife Claire, won two regional Master Builders Awards in

Breaking the mould

Women in Building nominee Claire Perham has a hunger for personal development and continuing education while overcoming the stereotypical view of women in the building industry with challenges faced daily.

She is the co-owner of Brisbane-based Axiom Construction Group with rising star entrant and husband Jay Perham and has taken on the roles of residential construction manager and interior designer.

“I am responsible for all activities in the residential side of the business including business development, client liaising, designing, quoting, procurement, scheduling, quality control, compliance, human resource management, administration, company governance and finances,” Claire said.

“I have also been operating a sister company, Open Plan & Co since March 2020 providing a service to clients that focuses solely on facilitating pre-construction project planning and budget alignment, diversifying operations and incorporating an additional revenue stream to support business during uncertain times.”

She said as co-owner of a construction business with her husband, it was easy and usual for people to assume that her role focused primarily on administration, invoicing, and decorating activities while her husband managed a build’s operational and on-site aspects.

“These are all important functions in a construction business; they are also the stereotype of what women in building

represent and the challenge women like me face on a daily basis,” Claire said.

“I am a prime example of a woman in the construction industry who is willing and able to contribute to all aspects of a project.

“Wearing work boots and hi-vis work attire on site is as comfortable for me as attending at an introductory client meeting in well-planned professional attire.”

Builders

Above and beyond

The true success of any project is doing it once, and doing it properly - this is the outlook that the team at Evans Built take with them to work every day.

Since 2011, Evans Built has been going above and beyond for its clients, giving every project 100 per cent.

This landmark development for the Sunshine Coast Council was no exception, and was not only delivered on time and within budget, it has taken out the award for Commercial Building from $5 million up to $50 million in the 2022 Sunshine Coast Housing & Construction Awards.

With the peak holiday period looming in the Mooloolaba tourist precinct, the project had to be fast-tracked. No mean feat when you’re talking about Brisbane Road Carpark, an eight-storey facility designed to accommodate 700 car spaces and 54 motorcycle spaces. An additional 40 ground-

level carparks, commercial and retail tenancies with outdoor dining facilities, associated loading dock and amenities, as well as bike storage for 50 bicycles were all included in the brief. External footpaths and access roads to street frontages from the carpark also had to be accounted for.

When planning a project of this magnitude, an important consideration for Evans Built was how to minimise the noise and vibration produced by the building works to reduce its impact on the residential and tourist area nearby. To mitigate the effects of noise and vibration on the areas surrounding the building site, Evans Built developed an innovative raft foundation system.

Evans Built developed other innovations during this build, such as the installation of a 100KW rooftop solar solution, which was subsequently adopted by the Sunshine Coast Council.

We thrive on delivery

The true success of any project is doing it once, and doing it properly. We aim for complete efficiency. Our people thrive on the seamless delivery of quality built environments, bringing innovation, creativity and passion to every element of our projects. We are founded on an ethos of fundamental values, consistent growth and continual improvement, quality product and client satisfaction. We treat your projects as if they were our own, going above and beyond for our clients.

Services excel with Wandoan project

NRG Services, the Commercial Trade Contractor of the Year for Downs & Western, provides commercial and industrial electrical, air-conditioning, refrigeration, communication, security and facility maintenance services to the construction, civil, mining, energy and data storage industries.

When undertaking a project as expansive as the $120 million Wandoan South Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), it’s vital to get the best team on board. NRG Services were equipped to take on the challenge to deliver Queensland’s first and largest utility-scale battery-energy storage system, designed to provide energy arbitrage and ancillary services to the National Electricity Market.

The enormous facility has an initial capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) and can store 150 megawatt hours of energy – equivalent to powering 57,000 average homes annually. The BESS provides a vast impact on the

nations green-energy targets and grid stability while contributing to a future of environmentally sustainable energy throughout Queensland.

Before the 10-month build could begin, NRG Services took on the lengthy task of documenting a cost-effective and innovative design. This meticulous and detailed design encompassed battery systems, power conversion systems, step-up transformers, a 33kV kiosks and reticulation, control systems and all other electrical, civil, and auxiliary plant works necessary for a fully functioning BESS installation. Several innovations were

implemented to ensure the project’s success and a coordinated process was developed to protect workers during hazardous manual tasks.

The geographical location proved to be a challenge, and to make it work NRG Services developed a foolproof program to ensure each service followed the other seamlessly and safely onto the site. With a commitment to top-class workmanship and attention to detail on the part of NRG Services, the project was completed within the required timeframe and with high-quality finishes throughout.

reno impresses

Winning Refurbishment/Renovation over $750,000 and Project of the Year for Downs & Western, the Rowes Redevelopment by Northbuild was indeed a special project.

The team rearranged the 1892 building GFA with an overall 65sq m reduction and condensed the Rowes furniture store to the ground floor. This allowed for an entire upper level to be converted into tenancies for local businesses of varying sizes.

The project also included a mix of new construction and the renovation of heritage elements such as recycled timber flooring and roof timbers, the reuse of brickwork and 3D modern graphics to replicate the original painted signage, and even the restoration of the 1950s aluminium panel facade.

New elements that were created included the new face brickwork, metal wall cladding, feature structural steel, perforated metal screening, entire reroofing of the building, and a new open courtyard and connecting bridge linking the buildings together on Level 1.

Northbuild Construction was proud to be

involved in the challenging project and to see the Rowe family’s dreams come to fruition.

Throughout the build, the Rowes store continued to operate and trade - even despite the addition of council’s Russell Street Refresh project making access to the retail area and parking difficult.

Northbuild Construction was founded in 1990 by Paul Boddington and operates primarily in Queensland and Papua New Guinea, now with a team of 10 full-time employees including office and site staff.

The Toowoomba office opened in 2011 and focuses on commercial projects including schools, health facilities, aged care, child care, community, government and industrial. While the office primarily focuses on projects across the Darling Downs and south-west Queensland, Northbuild also carries out projects for specific core clients across the state including Hervey Bay, Springsure and Kingaroy.

Over these 11 years, the Toowoomba office has built up an enviable reputation with many

repeat clients as their preferred builder, due to the small hands-on team approach.

Clients and consultants deal directly with the decision makers at the business due to the lack of unnecessary layers of management.

As well as the Rowes development, the past 12 months saw Northbuild working with Toowoomba Christian College on their music centre, which won the Education Facilities up to $10 million category.

The entire team at Northbuild are excited that both these recent projects will go up against others across the state at the national Queensland awards.

Urbane Build prides itself on meticulously producing one-off homes that stand out from the rest, and this can be seen in their two nominated projects in this year’s Downs and Western awards.

For the Palmera project, nominated in the category for Individual Home $550,000 to $650,000, Urbane Build worked closely with the client to bring the outside in with palm springs, natural light and textural finishes.

The other nominated project, Black Keira, in Individual Home $450,000 to $550,000, is a warm, intimate cabin nestled in the bush. It utilises the northern views, blending the house into the landscape with natural materials.

Co-directors Luke Erickson and Jace Townsing started Urbane Build in early 2016, after entering the construction industry in grade 10 for their school-based apprenticeships in 2003.

Jace credits some of their success to the late nights and long days of their career, which are a testament to their commitment and consistency to produce excellent results.

“Our personal drive [sets our business apart from others in the industry], as we have to compete with ourselves to try outdoing

our milestones and previous achievements, better our designs and innovations,” Jace said. The team - comprising of local contractors in addition to Jace and Luke - create custom homes together with their clients to suit the client’s vision and budget.

Palladio Homes

Whether it’s a sloping block, acreage or waterfront site, this Queenslandowned construction company has been taking on challenges and delivering high-class builds in the Sunshine State for more than 13 years.

The team of six, highly experienced professionals are dedicated to quality and personalised service, and many have been with the company for several years - rare for an industry where construction, sales and admin staff move from company to company.

Having a small and loyal team also means all Palladio Homes’ clients receive personalised service and attention, and finished homes are of a consistently high quality. Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail is mandatory of all constructed homes, and the team live by the Palladio motto of ‘Quality comes Standard’.

As one of the few project builders where a customer can bring a completed design and they will build it, Palladio Homes thrives on making the home building experience exciting and pleasant for each and every client.

A hilltop sanctuary

If the ducks serenely floating across the dam are anything to go by, Mountain Getaway promises to be a residence of calm and tranquillity. With its head in the clouds atop Tamborine Mountain and

situated on a verdant acreage block, the house is flooded with an abundance of space and natural light, elements that are echoed throughout the interior of this construction masterpiece. The result is a stunning custom-designed home with a wide frontage, strategically positioned to capture the expansive lushness that encircles the property.

Once inside, it’s immediately apparent that the interiors of the house are as alive and vibrant as the natural beauty that surrounds it. With inspiration taken from the unique architectural features of American-barn style, raised ceilings with majestic timber beams draw the eye upwards as you step into the open plan living space. The sense of space continues in the elegant kitchen where the neutral colour palette graciously complements the natural habitat of the acreage.

An office and media room keep it real and in line with today’s lifestyles, while the master bedroom, with ensuite and walk-in robe, is positioned at the rear of the house to provide a private oasis with uninterrupted views of the scenic vista outside.

ENTRANT PROFILE

More than meets the eye

Effortlessly following the natural fall of the land of the sloping block its positioned on, The Elysian makes optimum use of space inside and out, and continues the theme of bringing nature indoors with expansive picture windows that invite in an abundance of natural light. The white interiors further enhance the light appeal of the home and gather warmth from the dusky timber accents in the custom-made cabinetry and eye-catching central staircase, which leads to the upper level.

Upstairs, an expansive entertaining zone with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and views to the rear is designed to be the perfect setting for large family gatherings. On the same floor, clever planning has allowed for a cosy escape in the form of a separate media room that promises uninterrupted television viewing.

On the lower level, a master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe, two more bedrooms, a bathroom, rumpus room and undercover outdoor space offer a private sanctuary from the hustle and bustle in the living areas on the upper level.

Windows to the world

On the waterfront, Palladio Homes has excelled with the build of the awe-inspiring yet understated Laguna on the Bay. Perched

above a stunning bay with views that have to be seen to be believed, it’s no surprise that the focus of the clients’ brief was an expansive alfresco area that would capture the breathtaking 180-degree vista of Moreton Bay. The rest of Laguna on the Bay is designed around the expansive deck, and includes a media room and study to accommodate today’s working-from-home and lifestyle needs.

In keeping with the surrounding elements, coastal-style design sets the mood, with glass taking centre stage. Banks of clearglass louvres are peppered throughout, an almost 14-metre-long wall of glass overlooks the pool, 4.8 metres of clerestory windows welcome light into the kitchen, and more than 5.5 metres of tall sliding glass doors open onto the deck.

Outside, a dazzling lap pool, cabana and powder room stay true to the elegant coastal theme, which continues in the master retreat. Positioned to capture the perfect north-easterly vistas, the master bedroom with ensuite and walk-in robe opens onto a luxurious private deck.

From the house, a charming zigzag path meanders down to the waterfront.

An inspired design

When it comes to homes that inspire, Urban

Retreat nabs top spot. Sitting comfortably on an unusually shaped block with an impressive 16.5-metre frontage, articulation, and cuboidal feature balcony, this elegant dwelling is a design marvel.

The design ingenuity continues inside where a spectacular timber, mono-stringer staircase looks right at home, thanks to a soaring 5.5-metre-high void and high ceilings in the entry. The living area is open plan, with a light-filled living and kitchen zone that opens onto an extensive alfresco space, drawing the eye outdoors. The gourmet kitchen is an impressive inclusion and a home chef’s dream, showcasing oodles of countertop space –with no less than three sinks – and plenty of storage cabinets. The inviting space is bathed in natural light, which streams in from a striking 4-metre-long splashback window.

The interior colour scheme features dramatic black accents in handles, hinges, basins, accessories and striking black glass, which creates a pleasing-to-the-eye contrast with classic greys and timber highlights.

For the ultimate in resort-style living at home, the master suite ticks all the boxes. Along with special touches, such as double-entry doors, a generous his-and-hers dressing room and elegant ensuite, the master retreat continues the luxe theme with double glass sliding doors onto a private balcony overlooking parklands.

Gold Coast Hinterland estate takes tourism honours

Bedford, who won Gold Coast’s Tourism and Leisure Facilities up to $10 million category, is a privately owned construction company with more than two generations of experience in the commercial construction industry. It prides itself on its superior level of client service and collaborative approach to construction..

Nestled between the world-heritage-listed Lamington National Park and the rolling hills of Beechmont, Hazelwood Estate is a privately owned Wagyu and polo farm. Bedford was commissioned to design and construct the luxury accommodation and function centre on the 75-acre property with sustainability front of mind. Bedford took on the challenge and ensured that the build had a low impact on the environment both visually and physically.

Dotted over the spectacular property is a day spa, three luxury pavilions, and 17 secluded king farm cabins. Floor-to-ceiling glass and private decks beautifully connect the accommodation to the green rolling hills outside, immersing guests in nature and tranquillity.

With its soaring ceilings, impressive threemetre-high barn doors, warm exposed beams and stone fireplace, Hazelwood Estates’ award-winning The Paddock Restaurant and

function centre exude country charm. The commercial kitchen, which includes custombuilt, stainless-steel benches was designed and constructed by Bedford.

In line with the brief’s request for sustainability, Hazelwood Estate derives 70 per cent of its energy from solar power, with a 200Kva back-up generator installed to ensure continuity of power during storms. The solar farm is located in an adjoining stable building and the Estate aims to be completely off-grid in the near future. The Estate’s water needs

have also been taken care of, with all water harvested onsite, pumped into rainwater tanks and put through a three-stage filtration process including charcoal filters and UV sterilisation.

Bedford’s attention to detail is evident throughout the facility, which has exceeded their clients’ expectations. The stunning landscape is a showpiece for the resort and effortlessly combines traditional and native garden settings, including a market garden and fire pit.

Davey Constructions’ coastal cottage

Winning the Gold Coast Home Renovation/ Remodelling Projects from $650,000 up to $1 million award, Davey Constructions’ coastal cottage is their very own home renovation.

For director and interior designer team Jared and Sarah Davey, the renovation was one they had been dreaming about since they purchased their 1930s workers cottage 10 years ago.

“The home was certainly in need of some love and care, and we decided to take on the incredible challenge of redesigning and extending our small but charming space,” the couple says.

The leading builder of Davey Constructions as well as director, Jared has been working in the construction industry for more than 20 years.

He has a high level of professionalism and attention to detail which, between his passion for his craft and relaxed manner, has led to a reputation as a leading luxury home builder on the Gold Coast.

Interior designer Sarah looks after the creative arm of the business, with expertise in thoughtful interiors and designs that are both beautiful and functional.

Her friendly nature and ability to understand

clients’ needs assist in turning visions into reality.

The vision for the Coastal Cottage was to renovate the home to suit the needs to the Davey’s growing family while maintaining the heritage of a nearly 100-year-old home.

“As a builder and interior designer duo, we knew we could create something special and unique,” they said.

Working with the talented Stuart Osman, Davey Constructions were able to create a design that reverently integrated the new with the old and maintained a large portion of the character and footprint of the original home.

To differentiate and create juxtaposition between the extension and the original home, the couple utilised a sunken design and opposing selections.

The new design features modern polished concrete floors, aluminium windows and doors, and plasterboard throughout.

This offers a striking contrast to the original part of the home, where they maintained and paraded the cottage features of natural oak timber flooring, heritage timber windows and NJ panelling.

“It has a laid back yet luxurious feel and, as described by many of our friends and family, walking into the home is like receiving a big warm hug.

“In the heart of Burleigh Heads, our home is our slice of paradise.”

“The Coastal Cottage is a unique build that has a rich history and character like no other,” the couple says.

With more than 10 years of industry experience, Black Diamond Building & Construction (BDBC) has built an impressive reputation for producing superior projects –and their list of satisfied customers is proof.

Managing Director Steve Jakic is passionate about delivering a quality build and a high level of client satisfaction. Steve plays an integral part of the construction project from start to finish, and is present throughout the work.

teams: one works solely with principal clients, while the other works with the subcontractors. Each team ensures complete transparency which is achieved by open communication, site visits and regular updates.

A project of particular accomplishment for BDBC is Transport Street, a project that speaks for itself.

With a tenancy agreed to and executed before construction commenced, BDBC were up against a tight timeline for completion –the tenant needed to be moved in within a three-month period.

The brief was to think outside the box of the normal commercial construction aesthetic and to deliver something that spoke to the core of their business. The internal and external design was created to best suit their company needs, adding office space and reducing wasted areas. Adding two tonal colours in varying angles and aluminium screening in a bright white offered just this.

While under construction, BDBC faced some serious

challenges. Once-in-100-year floods, torrential downpours for days on end and the lingering effects of Covid-19 added extra constraints, while the availability of supplies also became scarce and the cost of both steel and concrete increased drastically throughout the construction phase.

Despite these challenges, BDBC worked hard to deliver. As a testament to the preconstruction design phase, functionality, quality and outstanding workmanship, the project was delivered on time and within budget, which increased overall tenant and client satisfaction. This is yet another successful construction in a long line of successful builds by BDBC.

Impressive hat-trick of awards

Dawson Constructions is a Gold Coast based, high-end construction company specialising in custom new-home builds and renovations with an impressive record of Queensland Master Builders awards.

The company was the winner of the 2021 Gold Coast Individual Home from $650,000 up to $750,000 award for Villa Sunshine.

In 2018, they won both the Gold Coast Rising Star award and Gold Coast Home Renovation/Remodelling Project up to $275,000 award.

This year, the La Capri project at 8 The Lido, Surfers Paradise is nominated in the Gold Coast, Individual Home $1.25 million to $2 million category.

La Capri is an architecturally-designed masterpiece from Jared Poole Design with Jessica Beck from BeckSpace as the interior designer.

It is a two-storey home comprised of four bedrooms, each with an ensuite, plus a study, butler’s pantry, media room, double garage and carport, 3m ceilings on the ground level and 2.7m ceilings on the upper floor.

The project also included a fully-tiled pool with an infinity edge.

Dawson Constructions director Luke Dawson said the house had been built with all the appropriate materials considering its proximity to the water.

“The team have outdone themselves with the quality of the build and the clients are extremely happy with the outcome,” he said.

“The technology within the home is state-ofthe-art, with full Cbus running throughout.

“The design and build includes many custombuilt curved walls and glass that had to be imported from New Zealand specially.

“The finishes and interior design choices are second to none and really bring the design to life.”

Luke has more than 20 years’ experience in high-end building and construction, taking pride in the superior customer experience and unsurpassed attention to detail consistently delivered to all clients.

“We specialise in all areas of building including architecturally-designed homes, renovations,

extensions, second-storey additions, rectification work and shop and office fit-outs on the Gold Coast.

“We are focused on providing a bespoke build dedicated to quality workmanship and attention to detail whilst also keeping budget and time in mind.

“To ensure that our standards, and those of the clients are met with each project, we only commit to a finite number of projects per year so that each build gets the attention it requires.

“This allows our team to prioritise the collaboration and communication process with clients, a process we take pride in.”

Goris Co Projects does things differently

Goris Co Projects does things differently.

They believe a construction project doesn’t have to be a headache, fraught with frustration and cost blowouts, with disappointing quality or constant letdowns. Instead, the multi-award winning commercial construction company provides a delivery process that takes the stress out of projects – aiming to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure goals and objectives are not just met but exceeded.

Offering services in commercial office fit outs, building refurbishments, back-tobase building de-fits and new commercial construction projects, Goris Go Projects have every project sorted from the ground up. From concept ideas, budget guidelines and design-and-construct solutions, they’ve got the answer for any and every project.

With a high value placed on innovation, integrity and quality, it’s no wonder Goris Go Projects are strides ahead in the commercial construction game – no matter how challenging the project.

One such venture was the Sorrento Shopping Village redevelopment. The project involved a complete external refurbishment of the common areas, including all new facades, signage, amenities, carpark upgrades, services upgrades and a 600㎡ flyover courtyard for the tenants. The project was

completed in stages over a 12-month period and evolved into a design-and-construct build due to the constant unknown challenges of the existing structure, which hadn’t been touched for more than 30 years.

During construction, Goris Go Projects faced the challenge of maximising the existing tenants opening hours, which meant the project was completed in stages and out of hours to make sure each tenancy was able to open for business in a safe manner.

When it came to the design of the build, the flyover, which features ceiling fans and LED lighting, was by far the most challenging aspect. Starting on the front boundary of the site, it extends over the majority of tenants within the centre courtyard of the complex. The methodology and constant adaptation to the workflow, as well as ensuring public safety in a difficult setting, was held strong by the dedicated team.

While completing the project, Goris Go Projects – like most builders – also faced supply and labour issues. The team solved these issues with confidence, by creating smaller scope packages and teaming up with several key trades to deliver the build.

Rawcorp stands strong

January 2005 saw the dream for Anthony Rigby and David Walton to start their own construction company now in its 17th year, considered one of the quality Gold Coast Commercial Building companies. Surviving the 2007-2009 GFC, the transition to D&C contracts, the shutdowns, and restrictions during covid, keeping updated with all the new legislation (safety, BIF, project trust accounts) and this challenging period of labour and material shortages. So thankful to their loyal staff and many subcontractors, Rawcorp is thrilled to be standing strong in uncertain times and is prepared for what else the future throws at them. Not content on just building for others Rawcorp have been developing their own projects over the years, hence the wealth of knowledge and understanding of how they can assist clients throughout their design and construction phase.

The projects they are delivering are of such high-quality all for repeat clients, which shows the satisfaction their clients have in their building team and business capacity,

they are growing bigger and busier each year. Rawcorp has won three consecutive years of Master Builders Gold Coast awards then in 2020 took out the Queensland award for Peninsular, which is a sister building to Stanhill & Catalina and the fourth project completed for Marque Developments who

have won numerous Urban development institute of Australia (UDIA) national awards of excellence.

Quality homes built with style

The team at Zoom Constructions was recently honoured to receive the award for Display Home up to $250,0000 at the Gold Coast Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards.

Zoom Constructions brings together decades of collective planning, building and development experience to create a company focused on getting your next home built fast.

A relatively new company on the scene, their speed to market doesn’t mean they cut corners, rather it’s their depth of knowledge and efficiency in the construction industry that allows them to respond quickly to customers’ needs.

Zoom Constructions views its success as a result of consistently providing a quality product to the market through effective and mutually beneficial collaborations with developers and contractors.

Zoom Constructions’ range of on-trend homes with stylish features are being

snapped up by owner buyers and investors in a number of carefully chosen locations in South East Queensland.

The company’s locations, price and quality are providing our clients with an opportunity to climb the property ladder.

Due to demand, Zoom Constructions have six new display homes earmarked for development early in 2023 and with a levelling out of property prices, they expect interest to remain high.

Successful husband and wife team share knowledge and skills

Combining knowledge of the building industry and business expertise has proved a successful combination for husband-andwife team David and Lisa Adams from Stroud Homes Brisbane East.

The couple have just celebrated five years with the Stroud Homes network and nominated three projects in the Master Builders Awards program in 2022, with the Tardis 263 being the winner of the Individual Home $350,000-$450,000 category in the Brisbane awards.

David started as a carpenter following school and has been in the industry for more than 20 years. After running a small carpentry crew including apprentices and working on residential builds for many years, he decided to expand his knowledge and move into the commercial sector as a foreman.

“This taught David a wide range of trades and running of multimillion dollar projects,” Lisa said.

“After more than 10 years in the commercial sector, David moved into a senior inspectors’ role at the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission).

“Working in this role was what made David determined to start his own building company as he was seeing both sides of the fence and

really wanted to offer clients something special.

“In 2017, the opportunity to join the Stroud franchise was presented and was the perfect fit for our little family.

“With a very wide and extensive knowledge of the building industry, and my business knowledge, we were attracted to starting our own building company as a family owned and run business that utilised both of our strengths.”

Stroud Homes Brisbane East specialise in high-quality builds.

“Our builds consist of a high volume of knockdown rebuild projects, sloped, skinny or odd-shaped blocks and double-storey homes,” Lisa said.

“We are lucky enough to be able to complete large acreage builds also when the land is available.”

As the Brisbane East franchise of Stroud Homes, they build on the east side of Brisbane, from the Brisbane River down to the Albert River as well as constructing homes in inner-city suburbs using a team of nine but also employing hundreds of local trades and suppliers.

Lisa said it was their level of service and quality that set them apart.

“We work with our clients to create their dream homes,” she said.

“Our tight-knit team ensures clients are looked after during the whole process from start to finish and after handover.”

The Carina design in Camp Hill is a Hamptons-style house.

Defined as a space that is larger inside than appears to be from the outside, Lisa said this house was the perfect example of that, and is now available on Stroud Homes’ website for customers to peruse the design.

“While this Hamptons-style house may be tucked into a meagre 7.5m frontage, stepping into the five-bedroom, three-bathroom, and two-living area design, you’re met with a home that is slender but spacious,” she said.

“The main objective with this build was to create a home on a thin block that didn’t feel like it was on a thin block, and the Carina does just that.”

With the building envelope determined by the development approval, the options of flipping the design, altering the orientation and adjusting the siting were limited.

“Featuring a garage of 6.3m wide, and the ensuing home only 5.5m wide, this deceptive design was perfectly situated to maximise the use of the block, paying particular attention to the inclusion of a generous backyard for the children of the home, while being on a skinny block, and without

compromising on space or functionality,” Lisa said.

“The lavish Hamptons-style facade standing out from the other builds in the development, with a handcrafted balustrade to a balcony overlooking the street, is sure to impress.

“Entering the home through the entry door to the right of the house, you’re flooded with natural light filtering through the feature windows climbing the adjacent staircase.”

The Kirra 303 project was nominated in the Individual Home up to $350,000 category, and is also an available design through Stroud Homes.

“Driving down Harrier St, Rochedale, there is one home that will stand out and take your breath away,” Lisa said.

“Gazing at you from the end of the road is the one and only, Elegance on Arbor.

“The Hamptons-style stunner with (a) blue door is nestled on the corner and holds your attention while wandering through the small estate streets.

“Positioned on a modest 336sq m corner block, the external features to the front are kept open to maintain the home feeling spacious, and to showcase the exquisite facade.”

The rear yards are fully fenced to promote privacy for the owners, as the future townhouses being built will bring with them a fair amount of traffic to the now-quiet streets.

WINNER PROFILE

The afternoon sun makes the rear yard fitting for both relaxation and entertaining, with a large alfresco area facing away from neighbours, humble yet elegant gardens, and a tranquil water feature to calm the mind after a long day.

In the Individual Home $450,000-$550,000 category, Avenue Living (Springwood was nominated.

“Every inch of this knockdown rebuild was perfectly curated, from the custom floorplan and facade details to the internal fixtures and finishes,” Lisa said.

“Perched on the upper side of a sloping street, this double-storey home with single-storey attached granny flat takes pride on the quiet avenue.”

The modern Hamptons-style home has a pink door and the northern face of the home takes advantage of the perfect conditions by not only having all outdoor living facing north, but also features a tranquil daybed in the firstfloor master suite, capturing natural light and creating an idyllic setting for the masters of the home, Lisa said.

“Avenue Living was carefully fabricated alongside the homeowners to ensure the home met all requirements of the young family, the most significant being the need for an attached granny flat for their mother to live,” she said.

Palm Lake Resort, Bargara’s Horizons Country Club

Bargara and Hawaii have more in common than you think. Palm tree-lined esplanades, tropical coastal weather, an equally as warm and welcoming community – in fact, the two locations even share almost identical latitudes.

So, when it came to planning and designing Palm Lake Resort Bargara’s newest multimillion-dollar community hub – Horizons Country Club – the brief was for that tropical holiday-everyday feel to permeate every square metre. And our architects did not disappoint.

From the minute you arrive under the grand porte cochere, the tropical opulence of this facility is apparent. Contrasting (yet coordinating) textures abound from the crisp white horizontal lines of the building’s exterior CSR cladding, to the sections of light-coloured Eco Outdoor granite veneer, to the warm cedar detail in the porte cochere ceiling, to the lush green tropical landscaping that hugs the whole building.

Once you step inside the grand entry area, this major community facility opens up to feature a large dining and lounge area complete with commercial kitchen and bar. There’s also a dedicated coffee lounge area for that much-needed caffeine hit, any time of the day or night. While the light and bright,

open-plan design offers an overall feeling of space, ease, and relaxation here, there are plenty of clever interior styling techniques applied to provide ample meeting places and nooks for quiet conversation and more intimate social and dining experiences.

Among the drawcards for Palm Lake Resort residents and their visiting guests within Horizons Country Club is the ‘Kingpins’ tenpin bowling alley. The largest of its kind across the Palm Lake Group of over-50s resorts, this four-lane alley features competition-level QubicaAMF technology and all the equipment a player will need – whether a seasoned pro or a first-time bowler.

An adjacent sitting area with plush lounges and barstyle seating makes viewing a game equally as enjoyable as playing in it.

Among the other key notes of interest for this community facility are the three-hole mini golf course, the expansive sundrenched exterior

resort pool (one end is cleverly covered for those seeking shady refuge), a large spa and a fire pit area with built-in timber seating.

The external dining area is another social magnet. Making the most of Bargara’s appealing tropical climate, deep-seat wicker lounges and armchairs are aplenty, as are the dining options around the built-in barbecue/ outdoor kitchen. The tropical detail continues out here, with timber-look architectural privacy panels cleverly subduing the sunlight while ensuring visitors remain connected to the lush adjacent gardens and the great outdoors.

As far as finishes and fittings go, oversized pendant lights – in both slick architectural styles and relaxed, textural raffia – denote the various seating nooks across Horizons Country Club. Blonde wood detailing (in thin vertical profile) enhances the feeling of height and space inside, while continuing the lineal timber detailing first introduced in the porte cochere and its expanse of individually installed cedar boards.

The overall feeling of whiteness, lightness and brightness inside Horizons Country Club is peppered with moments of unexpected interest. Bright-coloured abstract wall art, expanses of pink and green tropical

wallpaper and the deep green leaves of the mature indoor trees are vibrant colour pops, as are the moments of rich green velvet and pale mint green upholstery. Matching minty-green vertical subway tiles and more intricately detailed mosaic tiling around the bar provide other textural highlights. And in all this tropical grandeur, the restrooms are not forgotten. Sage green chevron-patterned subway feature tiles provide a backdrop to bold brass-coloured countertop feature basins and matching brass-coloured tapware.

But it’s not just about the cosmetic bells and whistles with this build. Our design team has ensured the facility’s internal construction elements work just as hard as the outstanding external ones. Acoufelt sound proofing panels ensure visitors’ acoustic enjoyment inside, while the external CSR Hebel PowerPanel provides even more acoustic insulation as well as sustainable thermal insulation and fire resistance.

The overall feeling of plush tropical grandeur across Horizons Country Club ensures Palm Lake Resort Bargara’s over-50s homeowners feel like they are on holidays every day. This community hub is cleverly designed to be the perfect place for everything from summer cocktails poolside, to mulled wine on a winter’s evening around the firepit. From funfilled family games of tenpin and mini golf, to quiet catchups with neighbours over coffee. Put simply, an opulent tropical delight and extension of our grateful Palm Lake Resort Bargara homeowners’ own luxury abodes.

Harbour redevelopment reaps reward

Creating a gateway to the Whitsundays has seen Vassallo Constructions win a Master Builders award in the Commercial Building from $5 million up to $50 million category thanks to the Shute Harbour Redevelopment Project.

The natural inlet of Shute Harbour had been a thriving port since the early 1960s. However, the facility was extensively damaged by Tropical Cyclone Debbie in March 2017 and lay in disrepair until the project started in January 2020.

The overall $63.5 million restoration project undertaken for Whitsunday Regional Council has seen a rebuild of the seawall, terminal, pontoons and car park.

The new seawall has raised the level of the facility and car park by an extra metre for greater resilience to storm surge in the future.

Due to thick marine mud on the site, the terminal building was constructed over a concrete wharf, founded on top of 58 800mm-diameter steel piles.

The rock seawall was constructed on top of a geofabric layer using a world-first construction methodology to lace the geofabric between the steel piles thanks to underwater diving operations.

The seawall was significantly upgraded from the original to provide resilience from future cyclonic events.

Shute Harbour Marine Terminal boasts three finger pontoons for commercial ferries, private yachts and tour boats, along with a diesel and unleaded petrol facility, car park and recreational fishing jetty.

From December 1, 2021, tours and ferry services began operating with the terminal building being the central hub for tourists on ferries to the Whitsunday Islands or booking tours with local operators.

The building contains check-in counters and a baggage system which compliments the operations, along with retail space, cafe area and outdoor seating.

The upper level of the building contains a departure lounge and office space for facility operators with floor-toceiling windows maximising the picturesque views of the harbour inlet and Whitsunday Islands.

The project was jointly funded by the regional council along with the

Commonwealth and State governments under Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.

Vassallo Constructions has a proud history of being a family owned and operated business for more than 25 years. The business was founded in 1997 by four brothers – Victor, Joe, Peter and Michael – and predominantly completes work around the Mackay and Whitsunday region.

The business is capable of delivering a wide range of projects and varies between major construction such as the Shute Harbour redevelopment to highway upgrades, infrastructure projects and residential subdivisions.

BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award

JKC Building was established in 1972 by my father, John Kenna. He started John Kenna Constructions in his hometown of Winton in Western Queensland. He started out by completing work for the Winton council and insurance building repair jobs. This progressed to receiving consistent work from insurance assessors, and therefore the expansion of the company began. From here, John Kenna Constructions was servicing both Townsville and rural and remote areas of Western Queensland.

By the mid seventies, my father moved with our family to Townsville to base

YEARS

himself better to service both North and Western Queensland.

Growing up I would travel out west to job sites with my dad, and be in awe of the land and the work involved. This is where my passion for building began.

Once I finished school I began my trade as a plumber. I worked for myself up until 2014, and then teamed up with my father in the family business, JKC Building. Dad and I worked side by side for many years, and now I endure to uphold my family’s legacy of JKC Building with my own young family.

Celebrating 50 years in the building industry

With a love of being able to bring a vision to life, and tackle layout and functional problems to create unique and aesthetic solutions, Townsville-based JKC Building is a family owned and operated company.

JKC Building was founded in 1972 by John Kenna as Kenna Constructions in Winton and specialises in renovations, extensions and new homes for clients from Townsville and to the west all the way to Julia Creek and beyond.

Director Patrick Kenna, son of John Kenna, took over the business in 2018. He completed his plumbing apprenticeship after finishing grade 12 in 2005 and has worked as a plumber for other companies and himself before joining forces with his father as a co-director in 2014.

Also in the team is Patrick’s wife Reiannan, a schoolteacher who has almost finished studying a diploma of interior design at Torrens University. She is also involved in administration, planning and design.

There are eight staff ranging from full time to casual and subcontractors with three being apprentices. The company has depots in Hughenden and Richmond, which also has residential use when the team are working out west.

Patrick said there was a focus on both commercial and residential work with a lot

residential projects both westwards and in Townsville.

“We would love to break out in the Townsville market commercially,” he said.

“We have a lot of renovation experience, which makes us unique.

“We have capacity to remodel and rebuild any home within means. We also have a fantastic, approachable team with low staff turnover.”

Patrick said creating successful solutions for clients was important.

“To look at a floorplan, block or existing structure and to be able to brainstorm and figure out a way to improve the space/create a solution for the client feels really great,” he said.

“Then, to see how happy they are with their space thereafter is the cherry on top.”

Serenity at Serene was nominated in the Home Renovation/Remodelling Project from $200,000 up to $400,000 category.

“It was a renovation that extended upon the living area and study/bedrooms,” Patrick said.

The existing brick home with a brick chimney was extended and remodelled with Patrick and the clients brainstorming ideas to renovate the existing home into something more modern, but to also highlight some of the features such as the brick chimney.

Redefining high-end living in North Queensland

Marina Residences represents a generational opportunity for the team at Maidment Group to deliver a landmark project, as iconic as its waterfront location. With its exclusive waterfront setting, connection to Townsville’s iconic lifestyle precincts, The Strand, and an unrivalled outlook over the North Queensland coast, the Marina Residences project provides an exclusive opportunity to redefine what high-end residential development living means in North Queensland.

Positioned on an expansive 5,500sqm parcel of land, the project incorporates a mix of residential built form offerings; including waterfront land lots, on which eight luxury Marina Homes have been constructed to indulge in panoramic views towards the Breakwater Marina, The Strand and Magnetic Island. These city defining residences aim to blend contemporary design and luxurious, quality features for the ultimate relaxed lifestyle.

An exclusive executive retreat, the first two of the eight split-level Marina Homes were delivered to offer the very best of modern new home living. Carefully designed to complement the North Queensland lifestyle, the homes feature light filled living areas which transition seamlessly onto the outdoor entertaining area and provide direct access to the boardwalk promenade.

High ceilings and full height windows and doors, frame the breath-taking water views, and natural elements such as engineered timber floors, the finest woollen carpets and luxurious imported European stone, provide a distinct contrast between bold feature tiling accents, precision crafted tapware and the clean lines of the state-of the-art kitchen appliances.

Incorporating leading home automation technology, the residences offer an unparalleled lifestyle experience. From lighting and climate control, through to entertainment and home security, you’ll have the ability to monitor and regulate the inner workings of your home from to tap of a finger on your personal smart device. Construction of these residences have been delivered by the team from Maidment Group and their new home construction arm, M Homes Townsville.

Maidment Group is one of the largest fully integrated, privately-owned, property developers in North Queensland, with a diverse range of projects covering residential sub-division,

new home construction, medium density residential development, commercial landscaping, real estate and mortgage brokering services.

With a development pipeline over a $1 billion, and over 5,000 approved residential lots in master-planned communities across North Queensland, Maidment Group strives to provide the most comprehensive range of property solutions in the region, all with an aim to better service a wider range of home buyers and real estate investors.

As the resurgence in the property market in the period post COVID-19 continues, demand for high-end, luxury residential property across North Queensland remains at an alltime high. Maidment Group’s desire to cater to those looking for premium residential property within the North has seen the strategic acquisition of a number of highprofile developments site across Townsville.

The Group’s Marina Residences project represented a unique opportunity to provide Townsville’s first truly waterfront luxury residential development. This project sits alongside the soon to be released, Stanley Street Residences and Paxton Street Residences projects, both of which are positioned in the tightly held blue chip suburb of North Ward, and represent a definitive step forward for residential design and built-form outcomes in the region.

It was a privilege to assist our clients in crafting a modern kitchen while preserving the exquisite heritage to the rest of the home.

Quality at heart of Lifestyle Constructions ethos

Multi-award-winning Lifestyle Constructions prides itself on building homes that are the ones of client’s dreams.

Based in Townsville and specialising in new home building, major renovations, twostorey homes, sloping and difficult sites, and additional home levels, the team offer start-to-finish builder/client relationships which allows them to offer quality products and services.

Owner-operator Jeff Sexton is a tradequalified carpenter with more than 25 years’ experience in the Queensland building industry, as well as being a reputable and trusted local.

Lifestyle Constructions also makes a point of sourcing suppliers from those locally owned who work and live in the region and have built homes for clients from investors and top end executives to first, second and third home buyers.

For this year’s North Queensland awards, Lifestyle Constructions nominated six projects.

For Individual Home from $650,000 to $750,000 was in Balgal Beach, which was strategically located away from the road as per client wishes.

Due to the flood levels in the area, an

engineered building pad had to be built prior to the home’s construction.

The house itself featured excellent natural light and ventilation, a Bali hut for the pool area, double entry doors to the lounge area with polished concrete flooring throughout, a BMW blue splashback in the kitchen, and more.

Eleventh Ave, Railway Estate was nominated for Best Residential Kitchen, which was built according to designs by Ethos Interiors. Custom-build cabinetry was made to fit the older style cottage and to connect to the raked ceiling, while the island bench was also created to match the home with a moulded timber front and curved ends.

The team also nominated Price Street in Belgian Gardens for Best Residential Kitchen

This kitchen was described as striking yet subdued, with 20mm Sensa White Macaubas granite benchtops providing a practical yet beautiful surface that wraps up the wall, showcasing the natural veins.

Lifestyle Constructions was required to remove existing walls and floor as part of this project, to produce an open plan living style and to continue the timber floor throughout the home.

In addition to these projects, the company also nominated Fulton Gardens and Purono Parkway, Yabulu for the category Home Renovation/Remodelling Projects from $400,000 to $650,000

Working from an empty shell with fixed plumbing, Fulton Gardens featured a modern industrial loft feel across the main unit and separate smaller studio.

Meanwhile, Purono is a three-bedroom low set masonry home that required extra living space and a major renovation.

Stylish living for cool summers

Wilkinson Homes is a building company that prides itself on standing out from the crowd. Sticking to its commitment to doing it right the first time and staying up-to-date on the latest innovative approaches to better building practices and legislation has seen Wilkinson homes achieve much success in the building industry.

Winner of the Individual Home from $350,000 up to $450,000 category, this beautiful home is situated in Railway Estate, Townsville’s oldest and most historic suburb. Wilkinson Homes was set the challenge of achieving an aesthetic that complements surrounding dwellings, as well as taking into account the flood-prone nature of the area.

The open-air feel of the home is immediately obvious upon entering. High raking ceilings give the living rooms a calming sense of space, which is further enhanced by the cool breezes that flow freely through the many louvre windows throughout the home.

Stunning polished blackbutt timber floors are used throughout, in keeping with the style of houses in the area, and add to the open, breezy feel of the home.

Step outside the double bifold doors to capture the refreshing north-east breeze, which provides welcome relief from Townsville’s balmy summer heat. The

spacious patio is the ideal spot for a relaxing afternoon drink while you cook up a storm on the barbecue in the outdoor kitchen.

It’s an ideal home for singles, couples, or a small family. Importantly, the home has been built to be above the 100-year flood level and the tidal surge to allow the waters to flow under the home.

Cunzolo Building duo combine to build beautiful homes

Locally owned and operated on the Atherton Tablelands, Cunzolo Building has been servicing Queensland for five years, specialising in new builds, renovations and extensions.

Co-owner and builder Leo Cunzolo has more than 18 years’ experience in the construction industry, beginning with his apprenticeship after high school, then working in many supervisory roles before launching his own business in 2017.

Partner Hayley completed her Diploma of Interior Design in 2017, and manages all the administration of the business alongside client relations and design aspects.

The duo established Cunzolo Building in 2017 to explore their own creative ideas on the base of their combined industry knowledge and passion for building beautiful homessetting the business apart from others in the industry by offering clients both construction and design services.

It’s one of these beautiful homes that they nominated for Individual Homes between $350,000-$450,000

Named The Moses Residence, Cunzolo Building helped the client create an open plan kitchen, dining and living area - making the home feel spacious and large.

The home’s patio flows seamlessly off the kitchen with floor-to-ceiling glass stacker doors, extending the space.

The large main bedroom features his and hers walk-in wardrobes and a large ensuite which is hidden from view behind the floating wall.

The three other spacious bedrooms are serviced by the main bathroom, which features a large freestanding bath tub, modern black tapware, oval LED mirror, and floor-to-ceiling tiles. The sophisticated aesthetic is further enhanced with the use of a black, white and grey colour palette, as well as textured stone tops and splashbacks in the kitchen and laundry, and statement pieces such as a timber staircase and feature walls, and the feature light in the entry that creates an astounding first impression.

Like Cunzolo Building’s other projects, The Moses Residence was a stress-free and enjoyable experience for the client.

“Leo is a perfectionist who prides himself on producing quality work on all his jobs, big or small,” Hayley says.

“Still on the tools, Leo not only builds all our homes himself, but he also manages the day-to-day operation of Cunzolo Building to ensure every job is built to the highest standard.”
