“A welcome opportunity to acknowledge our industry’s achievements...”
I
n a year that can only be described as a famine to feast, the 2021 Master Builders Victoria Excellence in Construction Awards is a welcome opportunity to acknowledge our industry’s hard work and achievements. Even in the busiest of times, we must reflect on the skills and dedication of our peers. At the time of writing, it seems that we are able to host this year’s event in person at Crown Palladium and enjoy an evening of celebrating the building and construction sector. However, we are also very aware of how things can quickly change during a global pandemic! To be a Master Builder is to represent the highest standards of quality in construction, and it is important to recognise that the work we do is not only critical to our state’s economic health but to the health of the communities we are proud to be part of. Congratulations to all the organisations and individuals who have been nominated this year. Without your commitment to excellence and willingness to highlight your work, these awards would not be possible. While there can only be one winner in each category, the high standard of entries is a testament to the skill and high-quality work of each nominee.
MAJOR SPONSOR
“Members have demonstrated tremendous resilience and determination...” The 2021 Commercial Master Builder of the Year and Young Commercial Builder of the Year impressed the judges with their commitment to our industry and the leadership qualities that they have clearly demonstrated in the execution of their work. Both winners represent the essence of what it means to be a Master Builder. We congratulate them on their awards and look forward to witnessing their ongoing contribution to building a better future. On behalf of Master Builders Victoria and our members, I congratulate all winners of this year’s awards. I also extend my thanks to each of the judges who generously volunteer their time and expertise. Lastly, our awards would not be possible without the enormous contributions of our sponsors, who champion our members. Thank you all for your ongoing support of Master Builders Victoria.

ust like 2020, I think it’s fair to say that 2021 has been another challenging year for everybody in the building and construction industry. Despite the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and the added challenge of managing lockdowns, our industry has clearly demonstrated that we can keep our worksites safe and open. With building and construction so important to the state’s economy, supporting more than 300,000 jobs, this positive action has been vital. As well as grappling with COVID-19, many builders and constructors are also struggling to source key materials, including timber and steel. Whilst supply issues across our State continue to have an impact on the progress of building works, as well as causing an increase in the costs of some materials and trades, it is important to note that Victoria is not alone. Master Builders Victoria is continuing to work with all levels of government and industry partners to try to manage issues with the supply chain challenges. And over the past few months, we’ve raised our members concerns at State and Federal Government level. As a result of our advocacy, the Victorian government has asked the Commissioner for Better Regulation
and Red Tape Commissioner Anna Cronin to investigate the issue of building and construction material shortages. In the meantime, and on our members behalf, MBV will continue to advocate for support packages for builders and suppliers who are withstanding the worst of the price increases and delays. Despite all these challenges, our members have demonstrated tremendous resilience and determination to get on with the job and keep Victoria moving. I echo our President’s sentiments in commending all the outstanding work that has been showcased through the Awards. I take this opportunity to congratulate all those winners and nominees, together with our wonderful members who have continued to keep our industry safe and open, and further enhanced the reputation of being a Master Builder in 2021. Both myself and our amazing team at Master Builders Victoria look forward to continuing to work with you to lead a future-ready industry that builds a better world.

Victorian Gamma Knife Service, Melbourne www.built.com.au Billard Leece Partnership
The works required transforming an existing cold shell at the at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC) and making it fit-forpurpose to house Victoria’s first Gamma Knife Service. The experienced health team at Built was selected to oversee the complex task of preparing the radiation therapy bunker to house the Gamma Knife. This included the sensitive radiation unit and cobalt source contained within. The project was complex for many reasons; not least of which was that it occurred in a live, operating hospital environment which itself was under strict COVID-19-related restrictions. The fit-out involved installation of architectural finishes, services, and an upgrade to the fire system. A rigorous equipment selection process was undertaken ensuring all fixtures, fittings and equipment were fit for purpose. 20 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021

The new facility was designed to promote social inclusion, community engagement and a healthy lifestyle. The construction of the new Edithvale Life Saving Club presented several challenges due to its proximity and relative level to Port Phillip Bay. Environmental factors had to be carefully considered, including the tidal influence on the building’s footings and inground services, unstable shifting sands over a steep incline and site restrictions which posed access constraints. The striking architectural design was also complex with the central column and cantilevered observation deck a key feature of the project.

KANE CONSTRUCTIONS Project: Puffing Billy Railway Lakeside Discovery Centre, Emerald Website: www.kane.com.au Designer: TERROIR Photographer: Kane Jarrod, Kane Jarrod Photography In the heart of the Dandenong Ranges, an area of environmental significance known for its natural vegetation and historic roots, the new 2000sqm Puffing Billy Lakeside Discovery Centre visitor centre was constructed. The new centre establishes a transition from the operational heritage train platforms via a new covered walkway and entry interpretive ‘playscape’, connecting the surrounding parklands. The new construction works were undertaken within a live and operational environment, with trains arriving at the existing platforms from Belgrave and Gembrook destinations. The distinctive design was led by TERROIR Architects and is characterised by its low-lying façade, complex geometric shapes, and angular edges that carry from the outside in. The design features intersecting walkways and distinguishing design elements, all contributing to the complexity of the build.

The project includes two buildings — 180 Flinders Street and 189 Flinders Lane. Together they provided an iconic mixed-use development comprising an A Grade office tower and restored 1899 Ball & Welch heritage façade at 180 Flinders Street and an adjoining refurbished eight-floor building at 189 Flinders Lane. A key driver was to create a sensitively refurbished office building to attract key corporate tenants wanting to relocate to a central landmark Melbourne address. The brief was to deliver a 5 Star Green Star building with a full range of services in terms of mechanical, electrical and IT connectivity and a standard, fully flexible floor fit-out to accommodate a range of tenancies.

EXCELLENCE IN FITOUT
BUILDCORP GROUP Project: MinterEllison Project, Melbourne Website: www.buildcorp.com.au Designer: Carr Design Photographer: Tom Blanchard The MinterEllison involved the delivery 10,700sqm of premium office space over five-and-a-half levels at Collins Arch, 447 Collins Street. The workplace aspirations were to provide functionality, while being adaptive, promote diversity, support human connection, and inspire collaboration and innovation. The space was to be authentic and strong, efficient, and flexible without being over the top opulent. Distinctly Melbourne features are a key theme of the fit-out design. These include a reference to the Hoddle grid in the dining room hessian light box ceiling structure, breakout, and plaza levels. A key component of the fit-out is the unique feature stair. The stair is a complete helix and was designed several times before a curved form was chosen. One continuous run means you are not entering and exiting the stair at each level, you can traverse from level 17 to 22 in a smooth, efficient, and continuous journey. The dining room is also a key feature and can be shut off to become its own event space. 32 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021

For a façade with such complexity, it is with a huge amount of pride that the windows and terracotta were defect inspected by Kane Constructions (main contractor), Bates Smart (architect) and Cabrini Health (client) with zero defects. The design and planning by the offsite teams enabled ease of installation for an efficient and high-quality result. IND Window Fabrications pride themselves on a highquality product and complete every job to a high standard and this is the first project they have completed defect free.

HSR (AUST) GROUP Project: Wesley Place, Melbourne Website: www.hsrsa.com Designer: Lovell Chen Architects Photographer: Elise Scott Photography The quality of the conservation and restoration works were of an extremely high standard. This was achieved by way of a collaborative approach between HSR (Aust) Group, Lovell Chen (Project Architects — Heritage & Lend Lease. Details were discussed and replicated from original records with extensive samples/prototypes were provided for discussion and sign off. The stone was imported from Germany and HSR undertook two visits to the quarry/manufacturer to select block and ensure the standard of the stone was free from discolouring, natural fissures and was to the correct bed heights. This ensured that upon arrival in Australia there were no quality issues at all. Visits to the stained-glass specialist were also undertaken to monitor works in progress, which resulted in high quality work being installed on site. 34 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021

Sponsored by
The Docklands Studios Melbourne (DSM) Project is the construction of a purpose-built 3700sqm state-of-the-art, dry-hire facility for film and television production. The construction of Sound Stage 6 increases the studio’s stage capacity by 60 per cent and makes it one of the largest within the southern hemisphere. Kane worked with the specialist engineer, client, subcontractors, and manufacturers to create a strategy for construction that would run from initial design to final delivery that doesn’t impact the integrity or build’s design or compromise the team’s safety. Kane identified that working at height was a key risk of the project and maintained a focus on safety across the construction of not only the main stages, but the additional annex space as well. This holistic approach to the sequencing of construction has identified and eliminated many issues that would usually occur throughout construction, allowing the team to deliver a high-quality build without compromising on safety.

The facility is a single-storey, steel-framed, brick-veneer construction with typical hospital finishes throughout, built upon a concrete slab on bored piers. Adjacent to the new building is a new carpark and landscaping. Construction occurred within an operational army barracks and with a co-ordinated proactive approach, no issues were incurred. Early works involved the removal and relocation of overhead power lines, and removal and remediation of an existing underground storage tank. The slabs were poured over four sessions. This staged approach allowed for the electrical, mechanical and hydraulic services rough to commence in the other stages. Some pours commenced as early as 3am to allow the concrete curing before the heat of a Albury/Wodonga summer day. 62 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021

The learning centre is a technical masterpiece worthy of the College’s prestigious reputation. This can be seen in the use of external materials integrated indoors and the use of conventional products in unique ways such as pressed metal ceiling used on intricate angles instead of flat. More than 3000 hours were dedicated to designing the project. The audio visual equipment is also state-of-the art with capabilities such as connect and project from other buildings and beyond, teleconferencing and interfacing with lighting and power.

Gunditj Mirring Keeping Place, Heywood www.awnicholson.com.au Phillips and Pilkington Architects Terry Hope
The Keeping Place design is a modern representation of a traditional keeping place structure that the local indigenous community have been building for thousands of years, however on a larger scale. The 1500+ timber battens of the dome are laid over an impervious membrane to protect the artefacts that will be housed within. The Keeping Place itself encompasses a mechanical ventilation system that controls temperature and humidity and provides a museum-like environment that is required to protect the significant cultural artefacts that are displayed. An illuminated prism is a key feature at the roof of the Keeping Place that was constructed on the ground and lifted into position. The prism is lit from below and best resembles a lighthouse. There is only one straight external wall in the more traditional office/business spaces, with all other façades being curved. 72 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021

All new modern services were run, including waste/air/data. A modern commercial kitchen was designed and installed including a state-of-the-art coolroom suitable for a new beer system. There was major involvement with all stakeholders and locals from the Colbinabbin community. MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021 77

Colbinabbin Country Hotel, Colbinabbin www.bourkebuilders.com.au EDG space BBPL
The goal of the Colbinabbin Country Hotel project was to keep this beautiful building alive for another 100+ years, while bringing it into the modern era. Bourke Builders bought the building back to life by re-using the lovely old red bricks and blasting the old cracked render off the wall to bring back character plus structural strength. The steel beam was painted black and the ceiling and walls in bright colours to keep the light in the building. A wonderful natural piece of redgum timber was used as the bar top and hand-crafted to bring out its life, character and natural beauty.

The Wonthaggi Hospital’s new Cancer Care Centre is a modern treatment centre that provides nine chairs and three consulting rooms for treatment for cancer patients. It has been designed to be a soothing and calm environment, and features expansive glass and light, providing sweeping views across bushland and toward the coast. A steel and timber deck, with fixed seating and easy access from the main room, allows patients an opportunity to recover in a natural environment. The design is a stunning departure from the old and dated original hospital building and uses dramatically contrasting materials such as VITRA Panel Cladding in a dark finish, and highly polished feature downpipes to create a visual impact.

The newly constructed Cape Paterson Surf Life Saving Club complex has been the culmination of years of work by the community. Standing proud on a headland, with sweeping views of the stunning Bunurong coast and Cape Paterson beach, the clubhouse is more than a summer base to watch over swimmers. It has been designed to be a true community asset, with flexible internal spaces suitable for functions, events and training, and a stunning commercial kitchen to support year-round activities. A two-level complex, clad in blockwork and highly resistant Colorbond cladding installed in a standing seam manner, the bold upper level is broken by articulation and indented terraces to create a dramatic statement. The extensive use of timber brings a softness internally. 84 MASTER BUILDERS VICTORIA EXCELLENCE IN CONSTRUCTION AWARDS 2021
