PRESIDENT’S FOREWORD

TREVOR EVANS National President Master Builders Australia Master Builders National Excellence Awards recognise the finest from the building and construction industry and 2015 is no exception with a showcase of the highest quality achieved by the industry’s best and brightest. Winners of Australia’s most prestigious building industry and construction awards are recognised for projects that are testament to their commitment to excellence. The National Excellence Awards are drawn from the winners of nine preceding state and territory awards making national winners the best of the best who set the benchmark for the industry nationwide. Winning projects exemplify inspiration and adherence to the highest standards, bringing to life the vision of clients. They have conquered challenging locations and conditions, achieved bold and rigorous sustainability and workplace safety targets, built homes for people of all abilities and families of all shapes and sizes and provided lifestyle and liveable housing to fulfil the diverse housing needs of everyday Australians. This year’s winning projects and their fellow national finalists prove that the technical expertise and innovation of Master Builders can

overcome the seemingly impossible.Grand visions were also achieved in our built environment with public and private buildings creating more liveable and connected communities. The opportunity to construct something special that will compel admiration and appreciation from generations to come is a powerful motivator of those who enter Master Builders’ National Excellence Awards. It is therefore very pleasing to see so many young people appearing in the 2015 awards, not only in the National Apprentice of the Year and National Young Builder of the Year, but also those who excelled in their contributions to award winning teams that produced other nationally significant projects. They can draw not only on the inspiration of outstanding building and construction projects but on the wealth of knowledge of the national judges who spent countless hours selecting winners from the 5000 best projects built by Master Builders from around Australia whose excellence underpins the calibre of the National Excellence Awards. The quality of this year’s finalists cannot fail to inspire confidence for our clients that Master Builders deliver the highest quality product for the best value.

The Stoddart Group is proud to collaborate with industry standouts. We were honoured to work with Fairmont Homes on the Carmel 27, NSW category winner for Exhibition/Project Homes $200,001–$250,000. Its unique design demanded quality materials, including Stoddart’s AAC eaves and cladding, steel framing, metal roofing, fascia and guttering solutions along with impeccable workmanship. With a fast, smooth and safe build – as well as a stunning result – there’s no doubt this award winner is an all-round success.

How Stoddard’s cladding delivered Process • 60% faster than conventional cladding • Enclosed the home in 1 day • Was fully rendered, textured and painted in 3 days • Lightweight for quick, easy installation
