Tony Tomizzi Builders | 2025 Winner Residential Home of the Year Alexander Road, Dalkeith

Welcome from the President 2025

marks an exciting new era for the Master Builders Western Australia awards program. The new Building Excellence Awards launch with refreshed categories, a streamlined judging process, and a sharper focus on celebrating true industry excellence; they have been reimagined to raise the bar higher than ever before. It’s been a huge effort, and the MBAWA team have done an outstanding job.

Being an MBAWA award winner now means more than ever.

For the first time, regional members now compete on equal footing with their metropolitan counterparts, with many winners advancing to represent WA on the national stage. By reducing more than 900 categories down to just 55, the competition has never been tougher – making victory a genuine mark of distinction.

The past year has been one of real progress for MBAWA: doubling training delivery across the state, launching the FutureBuild Academy to address workforce needs, and securing major advocacy wins such as free access to Australian Standards and reforms to procurement and training subsidies. These achievements reflect MBAWA’s commitment to supporting members and strengthening the industry’s future.

In 2025 we bid farewell to outgoing CEO Matthew Pollock, who leaves a lasting legacy of innovation and impact, and warmly welcomed incoming CEO Matt Moran, who will guide MBAWA as it continues into its next chapter.

The Building Excellence Awards would not be possible without our judges, who volunteer their time each year to ensure every entry – no matter where it is located in WA – is judged in-person. I wish to thank and acknowledge this incredible team of people, led by Rob Shaw and Glenn Smith, for their support and dedication.

Congratulations to every single entrant; you represent the very best of Western Australia’s building and construction industry. And to the inaugural Building Excellence Award winners… well done!

n the heart of a cherished neighbourhood, architect Tim Wright has created a seamless blend of old-world charm and modern design through the artful renovation and expansion of a muchloved family home. The brief was to preserve the heritage façade while reimagining the rear of the property for contemporary living – and the result is nothing short of remarkable.

The new extension introduces a light-filled kitchen, living, dining, master suite, and laundry, all carefully integrated with the existing structure. Expansive use of double-glazed windows frames the lush garden views, bringing the outdoors in while ensuring year-round comfort. Sensitive design and innovative roofing materials allowed the established gardens to remain untouched, protecting their roots and preserving their character.

Wright’s design strikes a delicate balance – honouring the home’s history while embracing modernity. The result is a timeless sanctuary where tradition and innovation coexist in harmony, creating a home that feels both enduring and renewed.

PARISH HALL RENOVATION Stirling Highway, Peppermint Grove

O

riginally blessed in 1925 by His Grace Archbishop Clune as both a school and parish hall, the Star of the Sea Hall has long been a cornerstone of Cottesloe’s community. Over the years, lack of maintenance left the building in a state of disrepair, with cracked external walls, rotting timber windows, broken flooring, and a deteriorating kitchen.

In 2024, current Parish Priest Fr Marcelo initiated a parish-led restoration to preserve the hall for future generations. Colli Constructions was engaged to deliver the renovation, with quantity surveyors Wild Woollard overseeing auditing.

Works included external render removal and new tuck-pointing, replacement of 28 timber windows, new doors, skirting, and feature cornices, upgraded kitchen and toilets, ceiling replacement with insulation, airconditioning, updated lighting, audio-visual systems, security enhancements, and accessible ramps and stairs.

The renovation ensures this historic hall remains a vibrant community space, allowing parishioners to enjoy parish events, morning teas, and gatherings for years to come, safeguarding its heritage and continuing its role at the heart of the community.

tories Yagan Square is a premier multi-level entertainment precinct in the heart of the Perth CBD, spanning 4,000sqm and featuring three restaurants and nine bars. As the largest hospitality venue in Western Australia, it accommodates up to 2,500 patrons at once.

Originally developed by the State Government in 2017, the building struggled to function as the intended hospitality hub linking Northbridge and the CBD. Nokturnl, securing the government lease, partnered with Builden – experienced collaborators on previous hospitality projects – to reimagine the space. The joint vision was to create a venue offering multiple, distinct experiences for patrons, while seamlessly integrating with Railway Lane and Yagan Square to maintain public interest and foot traffic during construction.

Construction posed significant challenges, including working over active train tunnels, managing live transport operations, limited site access, and coordinating with multiple independent tenants.

Demolition began in December 2022, and the transformed venue officially opened in May 2024, delivering a vibrant and dynamic entertainment destination.

urdoch Square is a health-focused mixed-use precinct that unites residential, aged care, medi-hotel, and specialist medical facilities within a cohesive, community-centred design.

Located alongside St John of God Murdoch and Fiona Stanley Hospitals, the 1.2-hectare development integrates five buildings around a shared outdoor space, supported by a common basement and a new pedestrian bridge directly linking to Fiona Stanley Hospital.

The design brings together diverse functions – from NDIS apartments and aged care to mental health and consulting suites – creating a seamless continuum of healthcare, accommodation, and support services in one connected precinct. Careful urban planning ensures the precinct operates harmoniously within its busy hospital setting, while staged delivery allowed early occupation and smooth transition for tenants.

Achieving a 5 Star Green Star Design v1.2 rating, Murdoch Square demonstrates how integrated design can deliver sustainable, peoplefocused outcomes in large-scale health precincts.

O

ne Richardson is a landmark mixed-use development in South Perth, delivered under a Design & Construct contract after the project had stalled for nearly a decade. Originally commenced in 2014, the works were revitalised by EMCO Building, whose proactive design and construction solutions ensured its successful completion.

Significant re-engineering addressed challenges from the hiatus, including compromised foundations and outdated planning. EMCO’s redesign removed car stackers, rationalised services, and introduced an alternative foundation solution – enhancing structural integrity, reducing costs, and improving sustainability outcomes.

The completed development comprises 65 luxury residences across 13 floors, a bespoke two-level mezzanine apartment, 6,000sqm of A-grade office space, and activated street-level retail including a café. By balancing structural innovation with design excellence, EMCO delivered a sophisticated precinct that integrates residential, commercial, and community life while redefining South Perth’s urban landscape.

he Murdoch Square Lot 2A aged care building forms part of a three-lot mixed-use precinct spanning 1.2 hectares, located adjacent to St John of God Murdoch and Fiona Stanley Hospitals.

The precinct includes 182 aged care rooms with common areas, integrated with hospital, residential, retail, and commercial facilities.

The building’s façade combines punched windows, double-height glazing, window walls, awnings, aluminium louvers, and perforated screens, creating a modern and welcoming aesthetic.

Internal finishes were carefully specified to be low-maintenance and easy to clean while enhancing resident safety, comfort, and well-being.

Slip-resistant vinyls and low-pile rubber-backed carpet for flooring were chosen to minimise trip hazards and ensure compatibility with mobility aids, while contrasting colour schemes support wayfinding for residents with cognitive impairments. Durable joinery and ceiling fans improve comfort and hygiene, and a curved floating stair case links the lower ground and podium levels to promote connectivity and integration with the central precinct.

Delivered under a 5 Star Green Star Design v1.2 rating, the aged care facility exemplifies thoughtful design that balances safety, accessibility, and a homely environment for seniors.

SUSTAINABILITY IN COMMERCIAL BUILDING

Built ARUP FITOUT PERTH St Georges Terrace, Perth

T

he Arup Perth office fit-out is a benchmark in sustainable commercial design, combining environmental responsibility with innovative, human-centered spaces.

Guided by the stringent standards of The Living Building Challenge and achieving the WELL Building Standard Platinum Certification, the priority for the three level, 2,598sqm fit-out was material selection, with a discerning eye not just for quality but for local sourcing. By specifying local materials, the environmental impact from transportation was significantly reduced, resulting in a lower carbon footprint for the project as a whole and supporting local economies.

The project targeted 100% diversion of waste from landfill, a difficult feat in Western Australia’s construction industry. This ambition echoed through every stage of the fit-out, from the meticulous planning to the careful execution on-site. Energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems, and climate control technologies further minimise the environmental footprint, while non-toxic finishes ensure superior indoor air quality for those working in the space.

Through its revolutionary office fit-out, Arup Perth stands as the first of its kind in Australia. A vanguard of sustainable design, it demonstrates that functional, beautiful workspaces can be achieved without compromising the planet.
