Celebrating the life of Peter Fardoulys We warmly remember one of Master Builders’ longest serving members, Peter Fardoulys A.M, who passed away on 22 January 2017, aged 86. Memories of Peter, a Master Builders member since 1976, live on in our hearts as he was a respected friend and advocate for the building industry who was passionate about making it a better place to work. His early career in construction began at Mobil Oil and in 1976, Peter and his wife, Margaret, created Fardoulys Constructions at the former IXL jam factory site at Coorparoo in Brisbane. Over the years, Peter was actively involved with Master Builders and Fardoulys Constructions became a regular name in the Housing & Construction Awards program – taking out numerous awards. Peter was a past president of the Australian Institute of Building and was awarded the
Queen Elizabeth Jubilee medal in 1977, and the Centenary Medal in 2003 for service to the construction industry and the community. At age 74, he was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List for service to the building and construction sector through industry association roles in Queensland and nationally. In November 2016, Fardoulys Constructions celebrated a milestone of 40 years in operation. Robin Fardoulys will carry on his father Peter’s proud legacy by continuing to display a similar desire and passion for the industry and Master Builders.
