ENTRANT PROFILES
Berkeley on the Beach
Firmly established in the construction industry since July 2016, Goris Co Projects has achieved immense success since its inception four years ago
THE TEAM boasts a strong commercial construction background and experience which enables them to deliver high quality, fast paced projects. A cornerstone of their business practice is the very strong client and contractor relationship focus which is employed by all in the company. This key focus is further reflected in the ongoing, repeat clients retained by Goris Co Projects and the core group of contractors who are instrumental in delivering exceptional projects efficiently time and time again. Goris Co Projects' entry into this year’s Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards program was Berkeley on the Beach, a complete refurbishment of the apartment building’s pool and entertainment areas. The initial scope for the project was to demolish the existing pool deck around the raised pool shell, completely waterproof the existing podium and refurbish the space into a modern and luxurious poolside area. Offering an absolute beachfront position, Berkeley on the Beach is situated in the heart of Surfers Paradise and such a project was integral to the apartment complex’s overall appeal. The refurbishment however, was not without its challenges. "The project had a three-month program however after month one, we encountered significant concrete cancer in the podium slab and surrounding areas,” company director Greg Goris said. “The original project works were put on hold while we worked with engineers and the project managers to investigate, source solution methods and rectify the existing podium slab which was above the basement carpark, before we could complete our pool refurbishment contractual works.
“In the end, the project took around 12 months from start to completion.” And while such unexpected obstacles added to the overall difficulty of the project, this is an area in which Greg and his team excel. “I am very proud of how we dealt with the challenges and our open-book approach to minimise the clients costs every step of the way,” he said. "We accepted and adapted to the project for what it became and continued to focus on how we could deliver an exceptional end result for the client."
And it seems all the hard work paid off, with a truly first-class space delivered on completion. The pool and entertaining areas evoke a sense of relaxation and tranquility from the moment you arrive. Modern and luxurious, stunning new Millboard decking, new stairs, new paving, feature screens, eye-catching stone walls and high-end landscaping have given the space a new lease on life. Having completed more than 90 projects across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland since beginning in 2016, Greg and his team enjoy an enviable reputation in the construction industry thanks to their openbook approach and commitment to client/ builder communication and Berkeley on the Beach is further testament to this.

PROFILE Cove Café renovation impresses
Intercontinental Resort Sanctuary Cove has long been renowned for its elegance and sophistication, so the renovation and extension of its flagship eatery, Cove Café, was always going to need to pack a punch in the style stakes
ENTRUSTING the team at Ashley Cooper Constructions to complete the project, the final product has enhanced the resort as a whole and cemented the Ashley Cooper Constructions' reputation as a premier commercial builder.
According to managing director Luke AshleyCooper, the project was not without its challenges. “It is always difficult to complete construction works in a live environment. It was challenging co-ordinating works so there were no disruptions to guests staying at the resort as well as the many weddings and corporate functions held during the construction period,” Luke said. “We were also working to a tight deadline which was having the works completed in time for the annual boat show.”
The eight-week renovation resulted in an expansion of the café's usable indoor space, as well as a revamp of the coffee station and re-tiling of the kitchen and buffet space. An area that has long set Ashley Cooper Constructions apart from others in their field is their effective communication, and their approach was no different when it came to this particular project.
The team worked closely with the resort’s management to ensure the result was visually spectacular as well as functional, and that the cutting edge design by Daarc was implemented successfully. The completed renovation has revitalised the café's aesthetic and created a dining area that will be enjoyed by customers for years to come and added yet another impressive project to an already incredible portfolio for the team at Ashley Cooper Constructions.

Luxury coastal renovation featured in TV series
Davey Constructions have recently completed the renovation of bespoke architectural home, ‘The Kira House’, an immaculate addition to the vast selection of luxury residential homes across the Gold Coast
This luxury renovation was completed in late 2019 and was designed by Davey Constructions’ clients, leading local designers, Kira & Kira, in collaboration with the very talented Stuart Osman. The design concept behind this build was mid-century modern, Palm Springs style with a twist.
Coming from a background in design and interiors, Kira & Kira’s innovation and artistry have made The Kira House an architectural masterpiece on the Gold Coast. With the 70s-style kidney-shaped formed concrete pool and a canal on the other side, this home is perfect for entertaining with its elements of luxuriousness on the Gold Coast.
The dark exterior of the house is covered in black shiplap cladding and exterior screening. The outside of the home is in great contrast to the bright interior, full of natural light flooding in through Velux skylights and floorto-ceiling sliding doors. Expertly crafted American oak veneer flows abundantly throughout the home, including the hallway that provokes curiosity through its seamless design. The living room boasts a stunning Austratus timber batten feature wall that offers such a distinct contrast with the dark suspended fireplace that hangs before it. The star of The Kira House is no doubt the kitchen, where a curved walnut timber island bench, seamless cabinetry and curved bulkhead take centre stage. The four-metre long island bench features a glorious granite bench top from CDK with a leathered texture finish.
The design features a hidden scullery style butler’s pantry, tucked away behind the cabinetry that allows the kitchen to remain seamless and minimalistic. Photo: Andy McPherson For the external component of the build the landscaping features Australian natives, palm trees, grasses, and striking succulents and cacti that all add to the Californian Desert aesthetic of the home.
The LA-style garden is accompanied by a skate ramp purely for the sheer amusement of the kids.
The Kira House also featured on the latest season of Channel 9 Life’s Ready, Set, Reno. Hosted by the very talented, Michael and Carlene, who were part of The Block in 2014, the episode follows the renovation process and documents the entire journey of The Kira House project. Davey Constructions specialise in custom built new homes and high-end renovations. Their delivery of superior quality and excellence of every project they undertake is clearly defined in the Kira House. Committed to providing clients with not only luxury bespoke homes but also a lifestyle for the whole family to enjoy, there’s no-one else that does it quite like Davey Constructions.

PROFILE Entertain in style in perfect pavilion

OPERATED by father and son Wesley and Travis, the Turvey name was first made known in the construction industry by Travis’s grandfather Vincent. Enjoying the knowledge and expertise that comes from a family of builders threegenerations deep, Turvey Constructions boasts a small but skilled team, who possess a clear passion for the carpentry trade and quality work. Entering this year’s Master Builders Awards in the Renovation/Remodelling Project up to $275,000 category with their submission, The Pool Pavilion, Turvey Constructions’ commitment to excellence is on full display. Brimming with beautiful features, the goal of The Pool Pavilion was to provide more usable space to the client’s existing pool area, while offering a new level of luxury enjoyable year round. A true stand-out of the project is the central fireplace column, which was designed on the fly to meet with the clients’ vision. Finished in natural stone, the fireplace column provides an anchoring centrepiece to the lavish Hamptons design goal.
The Pool Pavilion features custom cabinetry with stone tops, including a full kitchen incorporating a six-burner barbecue and rangehood. Travertine tiles were used in the bathroom to match the pool area, tying the new and existing together, and beautifully complemented by the classic tapware.

MICHAEL and Nathan Ramsey are the two brothers behind the building and renovation company Minarco. With a combined 25 years’ experience, these men have the knowledge needed to construct sophisticated spaces and architectural builds from Brisbane through to the Gold and Tweed Coast regions. Minarco have a sought-after level of flexibility to understand and adapt to each project’s needs, supporting their long-lasting relationship with clients. Their most recent submission to the acclaimed Master Builders Gold Coast Excellence in Building Awards was that of their Twin Palms duplex. This architectural masterpiece is a modern duplex designed specifically for the Gold Coast.
“Designed around a family lifestyle the connection between indoor and outdoor was an absolute must-have,” Michael said.
“With natural stone and solid timber features this duplex has it all.”
Michael said the build was inspired by the Gold Coast "fibro shack" aesthetic of yesteryear. With builders who understand the area, and can suit any project to their clients' lifestyles, Minarco undertake projects ranging from new builds or renovations to custom residential and commercial projects.
CUSTOM BUILDING PROJECTS
“Inspired by the Gold Coast fibro shack aesthetic of yesteryear, this small site is home to two dwellings designed to embrace a sense of place and encourage rituals like setting down the surfboard postsurf on the light filled deck to enjoy a morning coffee. Designed and built by Gold Coast locals that have deeply rooted themselves in the community to understand the importance to our way of life.”
Save time and money with advanced cladding technology
The new generation of Magnesium Oxide cladding is set to save on material and labour costs while offering peace of mind to property owners in maximum bushfire conditions BAL FZ.
For many trades in the building and construction industry, the change from plasterboard and CFC cannot come quickly enough. Citing deficiencies in exterior weather protection to the multiple layers required for some fire walls, costs can additionally blow-out, with many of these materials requiring expensive and specialised tools for application and installation.
The new 2 nd generation of Magnesium Oxide cladding (MgSO4) and sheeting by FireCrunch is the answer to most forms of internal and external cladding. It is lightweight, can be used on a variety of framing in steel or timber surfaces, is installed easily requiring less labour and can also be used as a fire wall offering a total fire block.
While the earlier types of regular MgO board were effective protection from fire, they had a poor surface finish and a tendency to absorb moisture if not properly sealed.
Through new technology, FireCrunch has achieved high loadbearing (55kN) AT FRL 90/90/90 CSIRO- tested and compliant, verified fire-proof building products, while offering high-quality, double-slurry surfaces and giving a first-class finish.
It can be used as underlay flooring, tile backers, shower base and once primer- sealed can be painted with normal water- based paints, texture paints or renders.
With costs as low as $18.00 per sqm, MgSO4 offers top fire rating from NATA, CSIRO and Resolute Labs. MgSO4 cladding will handle up to FRL 90/90/90 (NATA Labs tested) with a single sheet each side of a 90mm cavity frame.
MgSO4 cladding will handle up to FRL 90/90/90 (NATA Labs tested) with a single 10mm sheet each side of a 90mm cavity frame. It has endured real-time bush fire simulation tests and full-scale furnace tests at 1000.
MgSO4 is regularly nominated by architects, specifiers and QS/ surveyors, and fire engineers and certifiers.
The board contributes 95% less Co2 than plasterboard. It eliminates the destruction of millions of trees to make paper lined plasterboard and so is more planer friendly
The material is suitable for fire separation walls in high-rise residential and commercial construction and for bushfire BAL FZ and flood-prone areas and available to clients Australia-wide.

A NEW AND SAFER CHOICE FOR YOUR HOME — THERMOSTATIC SHOWER MIXING VALVES —
A thermostatic shower mixes water to a set constant temperature, even if other taps, toilets or washing machines are in use.
