2022 Excellence in Building Awards for Regional NSW

2022 EXCELLENCE IN BUILDING AWARDS REGIONAL NSW

NSW President’s foreword

Celebrating incredible levels of expertise

This is the second publication celebrating Regional Excellence in Building and Construction in NSW. This magazine highlights the incredible contribution the building and the construction industry makes to Regional NSW, something we should all be very proud of.

Throughout the second half of 2022, the Master Builders Association NSW building industry representatives came together in Albury, Orange and Ulladulla to celebrate the 2022 Regional Excellence in Building Awards. More than 800 guests came together to celebrate the industry’s night-of-nights and showcase building excellence right across the Riverina Murray, Western and Southern Regions of NSW.

In 2022 the MBA received project entries to the value of more than $300 million. Our industry produced magnificent quality and exceptional levels of construction. The judges conducted inspections on all projects in the Riverina Murray, Western and Southern Regions of NSW, contending with tight timeframes, project isolation, post industry lockdown, and natural disasters. They were extremely impressed with the level of skill and professionalism displayed by the industry.

It is worth noting the building and construction sector engages and gives more opportunities to small businesses than any other industry in Australia. Our industry is the largest employer of full-time employees and trains more apprentices than any other industry.

I thank the judges who, I might add, freely donate their time and expertise to examine, evaluate, deliberate and make very difficult decisions when considering all entries received.

On behalf of Master Builders Association of NSW, I offer my congratulations to all the entrants and winners on an outstanding year of quality projects.

I thank the sponsors for the continued support of our industry and the Award Presentations.

Once again, congratulations on your success.

Simon Pilcher MBA NSW President

Greg Bennett

Greg started his apprenticeship in 1971 in the Hawkesbury area and studied at Penrith Technical College. In 1977, he started working as a subcontractor and then eventually obtaining his builders licence in 1978.

Trusses and frames had only just begun to be manufactured offsite so most of Greg’s experience as a young carpenter was with conventional rooves and framing. Greg worked constantly as a master builder except for three years when he farmed exclusively.

Greg had apprentices all through his working life including teaching indigenous youth at TAFE, where he enjoyed passing on his skills. Greg was in partnership with his brother for a short time after farming then worked as a sole trader until forming BLD Constructions with two former apprentices. In 2009, he was awarded Carpenter of the Year for NSW by Wood, Naturally Better. Greg enjoys all aspects of building and working with timber.

Inspectors will be visiting construction sites state-wide throughout January and February 2022, to talk with principal contractors and site supervisors about silica dust and mental health risks. Construction work can lead to the creation of silica dust which may cause serious long term illnesses or death if not managed correctly, and Mental ill-health is a “real” and serious problem in the building and construction industry.

This high-tech food storage and distribution facility may be accessed through a mobile phone. Co2 is used for refrigeration and freezer gas. Solar panels cover much of the facility, with a generator only used in an emergency to prevent food waste. The loading dock doors are sealed to prevent cool air from exiting and heated air from entering the structure.

Design: Conrad Garget

The Aldi store is well-designed using solar power and Co2 gas for the freezer and fridge coolant. The utilization of magnetic floor tiles in the shop section was an innovative method employed on the project. The tiles are installed on a thin magnetic sheet, eliminating the need for adhesive and harmful chemicals. These magnetic tiles made store maintenance easier since they could be replaced by anybody without the demand for specialised equipment or tools.

Depot Beach Campground Facilities Upgrade

Phone: 0406 992 544

Solar electricity, recycled water, and on-site wastewater treatment are used in the campground’s amenities block. The building requires less maintenance due to the excellent quality of the finishes employed. The new facilities had to blend in with their surroundings, be as self-sufficient as possible, and be user-friendly, lowmaintenance, and acceptable for their primary purpose. The designer has done an impeccable job in completing this project.
