AWARDS SHOWCASE NEXT-LEVEL BUILDING EXCELLENCE
Our 2024 Housing & Construction Awards winners have done the industry proud through their exceptional skill and talent.
Our Housing & Construction Awards shine as the highlight of our yearly event calendar, and for good reason. They provide us with the opportunity to step back and appreciate the hard work that we’ve done, and give ourselves a pat on the back— something that we rarely get the chance to do amid the busy, high-pressure environment we work in.
The Awards not only recognise outstanding residential and commercial projects but also celebrate the remarkable individuals who contribute to making the industry truly exceptional.
For the Master Builders team, it was great to see so many of you gathered at all our events across the state, done up to the nines and ready to party as we toasted your amazing achievements.
This year’s judging panels were impressed by every entry, marvelling at their ingenuity and craftsmanship, which reinforced the stellar reputation of the builders and tradies behind them.
On that note, I’d like to extend a special thanks to our dedicated judges. They faced tough decisions when choosing our deserving winners owing to the next-level build quality and individual efforts on show—a nice problem to have! We are always grateful for their expert insight and eagle eyes.
Each project and individual winner have put their own stamp on their work, exhibiting determination, skill, and excellence in construction.
They also contributed something unique to their home regions, helping grow and shape them for the future through a vast and diverse array of projects.
Several projects got underway as the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic started to wind down —but the challenges that began at its peak persisted, including the scarcity and rising cost of materials, a shortfall of skilled labour, and delays in the supply chain.
As these conditions stabilised, a fresh wave of tests confronted our industry and the
communities and other stakeholders who rely on us. As 2023 drew to a close, those in the state’s far north grappled with flooding resulting from ex-tropical cyclone Jasper, while parts of the state’s south-east were hit by severe storms—the Gold Coast suffering the wrath of a mini tornado at Christmas. 2024 opened with severe tropical cyclone Kirrily lashing Townsville, before large, alreadywaterlogged parts of South East Queensland were inundated by the torrential rain that moved down the coast.
As the year has gone on, we have found ourselves facing further headwinds, such as the continuing labour shortage, a 40 per cent rise in construction costs since 2021, an avalanche of regulatory change, and the red tape which has a stranglehold on housing as we play our role in tackling the existing crisis.
It’s clear the past 12 months have thrown plenty of challenges our way—but as we know, our industry is nothing if not resilient. Ingenuity in construction was one of the key
attributes praised by our judges this year, along with the ability of our members to pivot and deliver projects of the highest standard, even when things don’t quite go to plan.
From enviable waterside abodes to stunning rural retreats, and from cutting-edge health facilities to essential education, sporting, and wellness projects, the calibre of our winning entries is testament to the talent and tenacity of our members.
Within the following pages, there are endless examples of building excellence. The seamless finishes, custom-made features, the marrying of past and present, along with the incorporation of sustainable building materials and integration of technology, are nothing short of marvellous—and we couldn’t be prouder. It truly is a showcase of the best of the best.
On behalf of Master Builders, congratulations on your achievements, and thank you for being a part of our 2024 Housing & Construction Awards program—we can’t wait to see what 2025 brings.
From enviable waterside abodes to stunning rural retreats, and from cutting-edge health facilities to essential education, sporting, and wellness projects, the calibre of our winning entries is testament to the talent and tenacity of our members.

Are your showers ticking time bombs?
Despite builders best efforts, leaking showers are consistently listed in the top 10 most common defects.
Sadly, sometimes this is due to substandard workmanship, but most of the time it is the design of the shower itself which is creating the potential for disaster.
Most contractors are at a complete loss as to why, but detailed testing has shown how, by the action of expansion and contraction, water is “pumped” along glue cavities to escape the shower enclosure, no matter how well it is water-proofed.
The best way to prevent the problem is to seal the screen directly to the membrane, and NOT to the tiles.
Waterstop Streamline provides:
• Positive connection between screen and membrane
• Maximises floor area
• Provides a template for following trades
• Ensures correct fall to waste
• Complies with AS3740
• Modern, cost effective, one-piece design
• 20 different shapes and sizes
• Available in a range of finishes
Bright Silver, Matt Black, Brushed Aluminium, Pearl White, and Gloss Black.
• Minimum change for maximum benefits
My business has exoanded rapidly since we started using the Waterstop Streamline hob and I now have tilers recommending the Waterstop Streamline system - and me - to other builders.Everyone that uses it loves it.
Mr Fred Meddings, Managing Director Watertight Australia (Water-proofers)
Remove the doubt. Fit Waterstop Streamline ... and forget about leaking showers.
By using Waterstop Streamline I know the shower will be perfect every time. It has to be, because this product is designed to dictate placement of all of the other components to make up a complete shower. It’s virtually impossible to stuff it up.

AWARDS QUEENSLAND
COLORBOND HOUSE OF THE YEAR AWARD HAVENDEEN FOR PALA GOLD COAST
INSPIRED DESIGN MEETS INCREDIBLE CONSTRUCTION
Gold Coast builder Havendeen came first in a highly competitive field to win the prestigious Colorbond House of the Year Award for the breathtaking PALA at Mermaid Waters.
Inspired by its owners’ beloved vintage Impala, the cleverly designed home boasts five bedrooms, eight bathrooms/ powder rooms, a ‘man cave’ and golf simulator, while the pool and kitchen won their specialty categories at the Gold Coast Awards earlier this year.
PALA was also named the state’s best Individual Home from $5 million up to $10 million.
In creating PALA, Studio Snell was engaged to conceive a design concept for the home that melded construction technologies and standards of finish not often seen in the area—bringing with it a new perspective in canal-front living.
PALA sits closer to the street and fans out on the large wedge shaped, north-east facing waterfront block, increasing the width towards the water while maximising outdoor areas.
PALA’s design incorporates an underground basement, three suspended post-tensioned concrete slabs and vertical elements including precast panels as well as expressed steel
A curved sculptural façade with layered materials, landscape and colour was designed to overlay pedestrian and vehicle entry points with no street fencing.
elements. The use of precast panels is not common in single dwelling residential builds and was a challenging aspect of the project.
With 22 panels in total, the tallest being 12.7m high and the heaviest weighing 15.6 tonnes, meticulous planning between all parties and stakeholders was required during the installation process. A feature detail is the timber print panels to the lift core, which required Havendeen at the precast yard lining the steel precast beds with Oregon timber to achieve the desired look.
A curved sculptural façade with layered materials, landscape and colour was designed to overlay pedestrian and vehicle entry points with no street fencing. Precast panels are splayed from the street to embrace the full width of the garden, waterfront, and city views. Concrete slabs are playfully revealed from the front and move through the building and project towards the view creating a strong horizontal articulation. The broad rear façade
provides shade to the interior and exterior spaces. The architecture and construction knowledge in creating the unique, expansive and unbridled rear façade is really what sets this building apart.
The natural flow of the building orientates towards the outdoors, further enhanced by a resort-style pool to the west and by sheltered outdoor entertaining areas to the east, both forming a central garden and lawn space which takes full advantage of its setting.
The challenge of council flood storage requirements was overcome by building a suspended structure gaining additional lawn while providing secure storage. An innovative steel retaining edge detail was created for the water-facing block work creating a lawn-only edge to water view, for which the team coined the term ‘infinity lawn’. The unique and tiered design negates the need for a balustrade.
PALA is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail the team invested in planning and execution. The high level of craftmanship is evident in every aspect of the build, none more so than the seamless transitions of materials and difficult junctions and angles the wedge demanded. The crucial early coordination when building with concrete are further evident with the ply layout to exposed surfaces and location of services and glazing rebates.
The aesthetics of the building are cohesive inside and out, with a focus on natural and substantial materiality to support the strong and expressed structure of the building.
PALA embodies inspired design and construction that truly raises the bar in waterfront canal living.
XACT ACCOUNTING PROJECT OF THE YEAR AWARD
JOHN HOLLAND FOR LOGAN HOSPITAL EXPANSION PROJECT - STAGE 1
John Holland is the deserving winner of the coveted Xact Accounting Project of the Year Award, as well as best Health Facilities over $20 million for its exceptionally detailed construction of the Logan Hospital Expansion Project - Stage 1.
The John Holland team earned high praise from this year’s judges, who hailed the level of construction detail on this complex project as nothing short of exceptional.
The five-level vertical expansion was crafted above the live emergency and paediatric departments with no disruption, while several other departments including the kitchen were refurbished in existing buildings. The panel also commended the team’s seamless integration of hi-tech services for patient care, and pivoting to complete works on time during COVID-19, and a flooding event.
The new Logan Hospital expansion provides five 32-bed inpatient units, a 16-bed intensive care unit, a new pathology department, an eight-bed coronary care unit, a new acute geriatric care unit, an additional 13 short-stay emergency department beds, a 24-bed and nine-chair transit care hub, a new satellite medical imaging services, biomedical
technology services, new administrative offices, education, and training spaces.
The refurbishment works completed at the time of submission included refurbished and expanded kitchen and food services department, and back-of-house facilities.
The Logan Hospital Expansion (LHEX) Project - Stage 1 was delivered under a twostage managing contractor agreement, on time and on budget.
The LHEX team developed an open and transparent relationship with principal and client and the relevant hospital representatives. Weekly meetings were held with Metro South and implemented a formal NIA (Notice of Impacting Activity) system to communicate construction activities. This way Metro South had full visibility of potentially disruptive activities and was able to flag any concerns, develop
contingency measures for planned services and operational impacts (medical gas, power, lifts, water, fire services etc).
The project team effectively managed several other construction interfaces, with other contractors completing works for a new carpark and refurbishing the existing maternity ward adding a further layer of complexity to construction staging and onsite coordination.
Another challenge was the kitchen refurbishment, which included the use of temporary externally located demountable scullery and hot kitchens for differing phases of the five-stage refurbishment. The team reviewed and changed the service infrastructure connections and valves to minimise the number of isolation and curtains on live services reducing the impact to the live hospital.
During Stage 1 works there was a COVID-19 outbreak and Logan Hospital became a

testing clinic with thousands of people lining up daily to use the testing facility that was set up by Queensland Health. This location of the testing facility impeded access to the construction site, requiring the LHEX team to develop a work-around to ensure works could continue without impacting COVID-19 testing. The 2022 floods also significantly impacted the project, with Logan flooding and the hospital becoming isolated. The LHEX team’s planning and methodology ensured patient and staff access to the hospital’s emergency department was always maintained.
The project required the removal of the existing roof above building three (contained plant room, paediatrics ward, and emergency department) to allow the five-level extension to be constructed. The roof removal occurred at the end of 2021 and start of 2022 when over 2m of rainfall was recorded on site. The temporary waterproofing and dewatering methodologies were critical during this phase to mitigate and eliminate the ingress of water to the live hospital.
The project also required extensive consultation and planning for services connections to the live hospital that included black start (HV power outage), medical gas cut ins, UPS power shutdowns, etc. For all these necessary works, the LHEX team developed methodologies that had contingencies (additional standby generator for black start, oxygen bottle during medical gas oxygen cut in, etc) and spent considerable effort and time in consultation with the relevant clinical departments prior the works. All isolations,
testing and augmentations were achieved with no unplanned outages or impacts to the clinical functions of the hospital.
The LHEX team’s key quality strategy was to identify and implement stringent hold points, for example lead linings testing in the Medical Imaging Department prior to ceiling install, pressure testing in rooms prior to ceilings, façade water testing, etc. The LHEX team performed defect management on the first completed department of 14 as a test case to identify defects. This set the quality standard for trades ensuring they maintained this quality for the remainder of the build.
As a result of the honest, transparent and professional working relationship the builder established with the Metro South team during the delivery of LHEX, John Holland was awarded the contract to design and construct Stage 2 of the Logan Hospital Redevelopment.
BUSSQ BUILDING SUPER PRESIDENT’S AWARD
RYCON CONSTRUCTIONS FOR DUTTON PARK QUEENSLANDER
BRISBANE
REGAL RENOVATION FOR CENTURY-OLD QUEENSLANDER
RYCON Constructions’ flawless renovation earned them the soughtafter BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award for Brisbane River-side masterpiece, Dutton Park Queenslander. The RYCON team also won Best Use of Sloping Sites for the home, rewarded for their masterful demolition and construction at the challenging location.
Located on the banks of the Brisbane River in one of Brisbane’s most esteemed suburbs, RYCON’s renovation of a century-old Queenslander seamlessly blended the building’s classic allure with new and contemporary comforts. While the RYCON team builds many new luxury homes, the team has a soft spot for renovating character homes. Specialising in the renovation of traditional Queenslanders, the team was excited to be able to give this beautiful and distinctive home a new lease on life.
This was a challenging build on a steep riverfront block, comprising a partial demolition and full renovation of the century-old three-storey Queenslander.
Demolition started with the arrival of a fivetonne excavator via barge on the Brisbane River. With little to no side access onsite, excavated rubble had to be removed by lifting 3m 2 skip bins from the rear of the block over the house to street level, which were then unloaded into l0m 3 tip trucks. A 60-tonne slew crane was used to accomplish this safely, along with two dogmen. This renovation is home to a family of five, who were keen to retain the Queenslander charm at street level while enjoying the best of modern style and convenience over three expansive levels.
RYCON added a new kitchen and living areas, with the kitchen showcasing smooth, modern finishes harmoniously blending with classic VJ panelling—a hallmark of quintessential Queensland architecture. Stunning floorto-ceiling windows framed with a cathedral timber ceiling elevate the outlook from the heart of the home, letting in that allimportant natural light. Clean lines, warm tones and ample storage are cornerstones of the interior design.
Outside, a terraced patio area overlooks the spa and curved wet-edge swimming pool. A frameless glass balustrade makes for unobstructed river and mountain views while
adding a touch of modern elegance to the outside spaces. This is complemented by a satin blackbutt wood feature ceiling on the deck.
Remarkable new life has been breathed into this old Brisbane beauty, blending original features with contemporary design, perfect for the modern family.
The judges praised RYCON Constructions for mastering the partial demolition and construction on a challenging sloping site requiring materials to be brought in via barge, and meeting heritage considerations. The home boasts the finest finishes, including stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, breathtaking kitchen, timber cathedral

ceiling, and a riverside infinity pool–the perfect symphony of past and present.
RYCON’s experienced builders share a strong work ethic and possess attention to detail that always ensures successful project outcomes. Since 2008, the construction company has won Master Builders awards for various categories.
RYCON’s focus is on mid-size custom designed commercial projects and the upper end of the residential housing market. They are committed to building luxury excellence in the Queensland construction industry.
JACK COLL LYKE HOMES (CENTRAL QUEENSLAND)
Master in the making
Highly respected for his work ethic and love of his trade, Lyke Homes’ Jack Coll was named Master Builders Insurance Services Apprentice of the Year.

Jack made the decision in Grade 11 to take the big step to change schools to enable him to enrol in and complete the St Brendan’s certificate in Construction Pathways Program, in which he was awarded ‘Construction Student of the Year’ in Year 12.
The Lyke Homes team was impressed that a young man would have the drive and determination to leave his friends and school behind in order to pursue his dream of becoming a carpenter. Jack impressed them further when he reached out and asked to do some work experience, proving he was willing to work hard at achieving his goal.
Jack is now just a few modules away from
PROCORE RISING STAR
JOSEPH THOMSEN JT HOMES (AUS) (SUNSHINE COAST)
completing his carpentry apprenticeship and is respected onsite as a fully qualified tradesman. Jack’s determination and commitment to his trade has seen him have far more time on the tools than most apprentices, completing 59-hour weeks almost every week of every year. This leaves precious little time for him to complete bookwork, however, he has still managed to get everything done due to his organisational skills and ability to set aside social distractions . The maturity shown by Jack to dedicate himself to the long-term commitment required to complete his certficate proves he has a spectacular future ahead of him as a builder.
Jack’s skillset is that of a confident tradesman in all areas of residential new homes and renovations. He has been trained in traditional approaches to building, with his skills including but not limited to: reading plans, hand tool skills, measuring and cutting materials, site set-out, form work, stick framing, truss placement, roof battening, window installation, site safety,
sheeting, cladding, soffit, fix-out, fit-offs, hanging doors, tiedown for cyclone wind rating, problem solving, quality finishing, client liaison, and more.
Jack has actively taken the steps to gain this apprenticeship, worked hard to grow his skills at all levels, shown great enthusiasm to be part of the Lyke Homes team, and shown up every day with a humble and eager work attitude.
When ambition meets commitment
The commitment to excellence and quality workmanship demonstrated by Sunshine Coast custom-home builder Joseph Thomsen has earned him the Procore Rising Star Award.
Joey, as he’s known, commenced his career in carpentry by completing his Certification in Carpentry in 2010 while working alongside his father, Tony Thomsen. This foundational period provided Joey with hands-on experience and a strong understanding of carpentry fundamentals.
In May 2014, Joey obtained his Carpentry Trade Contractor Licence, which enabled him to collaborate with various custom-home builders on specific home and renovation projects. Over the years, Joey has expanded his portfolio and solidified his reputation in the industry.
In 2016 Joey fulfilled the requirements for his Certificate IV in Building and Construction (Building) delivered by Training & Assessment Solutions. By December 2018, Joey acquired his Builder Licence for low-rise constructions,
empowering him to take on more extensive roles in project management and oversight. In the same year, Joey established JT Constructions.
In 2019, Joey transitioned JT Constructions into JT Homes, assuming the role of director and lead carpenter. In this capacity, Joey oversees the design, planning, management, and delivery of custom homes, ensuring each project reflects JT Homes’ commitment to excellence.
Joey’s commitment to quality workmanship is demonstrated through his strategic project selection and execution at JT Homes. To maintain Joey’s high standard of excellence in bespoke design and quality workmanship, he only commits to building a limited number of homes each year.
Transitioning from a $100,000 kitchen remodel to a $900,000 luxury home reflects deliberate progression in complexity and value, aligned with team capabilities. This strategy allows for dedicated attention to each project, ensuring
high-quality craftsmanship.
The safety of workers, the client and bystanders are a high priority on all JT Homes construction sites, which has contributed significantly to the company’s perfect safety record.
JT Homes’ clean record with the QBCC, underscores Joey’s commitment to regulatory building standards and warranties.
CLAIRE PERHAM
AXIOM CONSTRUCTION GROUP (BRISBANE)
A voice for women in construction
Brisbane-based qualified builder and interior designer Claire Perham has been honoured for her meticulous approach and contributions as an advocate and role model for others in the industry with the Emerging Women in Construction Women in Building Award.
With almost 20 years in the construction industry, Claire is a strong and confident voice in a male-dominated industry.
She says, “Being a role model in building and construction involves epitomising qualities and behaviours that inspire and encourage others, while specifically promoting diversity and inclusivity, especially for women. I need to be the change I want to see in the world, and I have built myself a platform through my own company that allows me to do this.”
As the face of Axiom Construction Group, Claire enjoys attending construction industry events so she can connect and advocate for women who are doing great things for the
future of building and construction.
“Achieving my builders licence this year has been the highlight of my career and validates to myself and other women that it is entirely possible,” Claire says.
“Using my own business, I can employ and work with other women in the industry and support them in their journey to becoming leaders in their field. Our third-year female apprentice is a great example of this. After several years of working with other construction companies who had little respect for her, she came to us disillusioned and deflated. I have been able to support her from a disparaged first year into becoming an incredible asset to the industry and our team and exemplifying to other onsite workers that your gender should have no bearing on your ability to do the job you love.”
Claire is involved with the National Association of Women In Construction (NAWIC) and Women Building Australia mentoring programs, where
she mentors young women fighting for their place in the construction industry.
“I get a great deal of satisfaction out of these programs knowing that I am someone these girls can look to for support and help them navigate their own challenges and rise above adversity and stereotypes,” she says.

Fergus Builders takes home Queensland Award and eight regional awards
Under the direction of Ben, Nathan, and Adam, Fergus Builders continues to grow and evolve in this ever-changing industry, while creating their own relationships with suppliers, subcontractors, and clients.
The boys strongly believe in the ‘grow your own’ philosophy, as Ben and Nathan themselves started as apprentices and Adam as a building cadet. With this mindset and their passion for construction, Fergus Builders has been crowned winner of Individual Home from $400,000 up to $550,000 at the Queensland Awards for their amazing project “Ella New”, while also taking home an incredible eight awards at the Mackay & Whitsunday regional awards— the highest number for one builder in any region’s awards.
At the Mackay & Whitsunday Awards the team won both the highly-regarded McInnes Wilson Lawyers Project of the Year Award and Education Facilities over $10 million for the world-class Whitsunday Anglican School—STEAM Centre—a first for the region. In the commercial category, their work on the Mackay Apartments won them best Community Service Facilities, while the North Jacklin Motor Group Refurbishment achieved Commercial Refurbishment/ Renovation up to $5 million.
Fergus Builders’ work on four stunning homes was also rewarded regionally, including Individual Home up to $400,000
for “Meadow View” (Beaconsfield), Individual Home from $400,000 up to $550,000 for “Ella New” (Bakers Creek), Individual Home from $550,000 up to $700,000 for “Mist Cove” (Shoal Point), and Home Renovation Project from $450,000 up to $600,000 for “Stella Rise” (Alligator Creek).
Fergus Builders has left an indelible mark on the landscape of building and construction, from award-winning residential homes to groundbreaking commercial and industrial structures.
Following are the highlights of Fergus Builders’ Mackay & Whitsunday regional award wins.
McInnes Wilson Lawyers Project of the Year Award and Education Facilities over $10 Million
Fergus were excited for the win regarding their construction of the new state-of-the-art STEAM Centre at Whitsunday Anglican School.
Fergus Builders has left an indelible mark on the landscape of building and construction, from award-winning residential homes to ground-breaking commercial and industrial structures.
A first for the region, the world-class Whitsunday Anglican School STEAM Centre boasts the latest in education innovation and technology. The Fergus Builders team overcame challenges including limited site access in the centre of the school, demolition, and construction during normal school operations—plus a significant redesign due to seasonal rain—delivering on time and budget. Boasting state-of-the-art labs and classrooms, indoor/outdoor learning spaces, senior and junior libraries and teachers’ facilities, the Master Builders judges hailed this build as an impressive achievement.

The project consists of a two-storey building with five sole occupancy units, external laundry, external office space, carpark, children’s playground, and outdoor sitting area.
The presence of low power lines to the front of the site meant that materials such as first floor reo, blocks, timber frames, trusses, and roof sheets all had to be craned to the first floor from within the footprint of the site which proved difficult when scaffold was also needed to carry out the works.
Fergus was able to deliver the project to the client within the time frame and of a high standard of quality despite these challenges.
Commercial Refurbishment/
Renovation up to $5 Million
For Fergus, a challenge in the construction journey is no stranger. North Jacklin Motor Group entrusted the builder to undertake major renovations and refurbishments of their main showroom.
The challenge was to keep the drop off/ service reception operational while demolition works were completed. However, Fergus are natural problem solvers and so solutions and flexibility were constant.
When the showroom works were 90 per cent complete, a temporary service department was set up in the rear carpark. The customer amenities were also fully overhauled during the refurbishment works.
Individual Home up to $400,000
“Meadow View” was constructed as a spec home on land that Fergus has owned for some time with the view to build an appealing, cost effective, beautifully finished four-bedroom home that would sell immediately.
Mission accomplished—the first buyer to walk through this home bought it on the spot, commenting the colours and finishes—all handpicked by the Fergus team—were exactly what she would have chosen herself, completely her style, and the moment she saw the photos online she knew she had to buy it.
Home Renovation Project from $450,000 up to $600,000
The project Stellar Rise is an exquisite house extension set on a tranquil one-acre rural lot. This stunning addition to the existing home— also built by Fergus Builders in 2019—has been built with dual living for modern families in mind; seamlessly incorporated into the original design, but with complete autonomy for independent living quarters.
This space was designed to accommodate the retired parents of the owners of the
property, allowing them to spend time with the family whilst giving them their own independent living space to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the rural landscape.
Individual Home from $400,000 up to $550,000
Tucked away in the tranquil Waters Ooralea, “Ella New” stands as a beacon of modern luxury and refined elegance.
In the heart of the home lies the open plan living, dining, and kitchen area, where stone benchtops and a kitchen island with stone waterfall ends opens up onto the outdoor area via floor-to-ceiling stacker doors. Inside a modern circle pendant light illuminates the dining space, reflecting warm light into the living area.
Construction ran smoothly with no delays, and Fergus were able to handover the home three months ahead of schedule.
Individual Home from $550,000 up to $700,000
Custom design “Mist Cove” was a fun project from start to finish. Having built before and not ending up with her dream home, Fergus’ client was adamant that this experience would be different. Indeed, the grandeur of the design begins to unfold the moment you step through the front door into the oversized entry.
The odd shape of the block presented challenges in fitting in all the design requirements. Fergus worked closely with the owners to tweak their design until it ticked all the boxes, which they were extremely grateful for.
BUILDING FOR YOU AS IF IT WERE OUR OWN
A place in the shade
Koru Building Contractors is a boutique custom home builder based in Cairns, Far North Queensland.
OMBRA is the building company’s first display home, and Koru is incredibly proud to have won the Display Home over $800,000 award at the Master Builders Queensland Awards as well as the House of the Year categories at this year’s Far North Queensland Housing & Construction Awards.
The brief for OMBRA (meaning “shadow” or “shade”) was to create a contemporary home with the feel of sanctuary. Koru wanted those visiting OMBRA to exhale upon entry. OMBRA had to feel cool but warm in spirit, with elements of light and shade reflecting the movement of the shadows cast by the surrounding trees throughout the day.
OMBRA is situated on a 1031m2 block, selected for its privacy with no rear neighbours. Instead, the property enjoys the borrowed landscape from the council reserve that envelopes two sides of the home.
As a Koru Building Contractors’ display home, OMBRA provided an opportunity to
experiment with products not often used in Far North Queensland, such as off-form concrete (OFC) and modern metal cladding systems. The brief included such things as a connection between the outdoors and indoors, curved walls, a round Plungie Australia pool, high ceilings, rooftop planter boxes, and low maintenance exterior finishes.
Koru’s in-house interior design studio, Studio K Interior Design, was responsible for the selection of all the interior materials, fittings and finishes
as well as the cabinetry design, electrical plan and interior styling. This integration meant the design and construction teams could work collaboratively throughout the build.
OMBRA features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, media room, living/dining room, dry bar, kitchen, butler’s pantry, al fresco kitchen, patio, Plungie pool, office and laundry. OMBRA’s self-contained studio features a bedroom, dining, kitchenette, laundrette, ensuite and outdoor courtyard.
Construction with strong values
Kyson Commercial is led by strong values, and approach projects with honesty, reliability, ethical construction, and dedication. They believe in providing a smooth and easy experience throughout their clients’ commercial construction and/or fitout project.
Kyson has demonstrated these values throughout their longstanding partnership with Guzman Y Gomez. The Mexican food franchise have been so impressed, they invited Kyson to build their new Cleveland venue.
This exciting project has led to the Kyson team securing their first award, Retail Facilities up to $5 million, at the Brisbane Awards, and taking out the same award category in the Master Builders Queensland Awards. The win is sure to motivate the Kyson team to keep growing and striving for excellence in quality and service.
Remarkably, the project was delivered approximately three weeks ahead of schedule, showcasing the commitment to efficiency and excellence. Within a mere four months, Kyson completed a full ground-up construction and
fit out. This allowed the store to be opened to the public just days after handover.
Kyson Commercial are proud that the project was delivered ahead of schedule, defect-free, and within the allocated budget.
Notably, Kyson transformed an existing building by featuring a unique drive-through that seamlessly travels through the existing structure. This drivethrough is equipped with state-of-the-art CO2 extraction fans to mitigate potential emissions buildup during wait times. Additionally, the drive-through lighting incorporates UV sensors, ensuring a smooth transition for customers’ eyes from outside to inside.
The construction of this new facility within an existing structure demanded significant
KYSON COMMERCIAL (CONSTRUCTION + FIT OUTS IN SEQ)
Kyson Commercial brings your dream destination to life.
After years of delivering many Guzman Y Gomez restaurants throughout QLD, Kyson were pleased to create the largest restaurant location yet, with the addition of a training facility for staff. Once an IGA tenancy, now an impressive and expansive eatery, the project was led by hands-on Director, Brendan Dales. With Kyson Commerical, anything is possible.
structural upgrades. The team successfully engineered the drive-through and installed new concrete levels as needed, while also undertaking the extensive mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical work to ensure the restaurant’s cuttingedge facility was second to none.
The location's proximity to neighbouring tenancies presented logistical hurdles. To minimise disruptions, Kyson Commercial had to close adjacent businesses temporarily, compensating them for potential sales losses. The Kyson team then committed to round-theclock efforts covering shifts over a 24-hour period to further mitigate any potential cost escalations to the client and the further impact on neighbouring tenancies.

Two projects, one vision
BUILT Homes & Renovations promise to deliver luxury, craftmanship, functionality, and a designer touch to every project. Specialising in custom builds, home renovations, restorations and extensions, BUILT Homes & Renovations can help bring a modern touch to a classic home, remain faithful to the home’s existing style or craft a new home that suits clients’ specific tastes. Projects Benecia and Hilda demonstrate their commitment to quality craftmanship, with both projects entered into the Master Builders Awards.
Benecia
Ben and Sarah, enamoured with the classic charm of their 1950s home, embarked on a significant renovation rather than moving.
Their vision included doubling the home’s size to accommodate their growing family and wish list items. They prioritised incorporating modern amenities while preserving original character features like bay windows and traditional cladding.
They entrusted Brenden, recommended for his attention to detail, with the project. Throughout the 11-month build, they appreciated the proactive problem-solving and expertise of the team. Renting nearby, they were hands-on during the transformation, ensuring the home met their expectations.
The upstairs living area was reconfigured, featuring exposed timber beams and European Oak flooring for warmth. A sleek fireplace and
custom joinery provided ample storage, while ducted AC and decorative rafters enhanced comfort and aesthetic appeal.
The entrance was transformed into a stylish foyer with a skylight and integrated bench seat for practicality. A European Oak staircase provided internal access, with the space below utilised as a wine store.
The front façade maintained its original charm, enhanced with textural materials, wrought iron accents, and a traditional-style fence. The front porch was enlarged with travertine tiling and a pergola, inviting greenery to soften the space.
The tired rear deck was replaced with a larger travertine-tiled outdoor area, strategically

oriented to capture panoramic views and evening sunsets. An adjacent pool and alfresco area, designed for entertainment and relaxation, featured a stone wall for privacy and European-inspired textures.
The lower living area, with its modern aesthetic and stone flooring, seamlessly connected to the alfresco space. While upstairs exuded classic charm, downstairs offered a contemporary retreat with squareset ceilings and a stylish wine store.
Ben and Sarah successfully transformed their beloved home into a modern haven while honouring its timeless appeal. From the enhanced living spaces to the outdoor oasis, every detail was meticulously planned and executed, resulting in a future-proof home they adore.
Hilda
The renovation and extension project involved a comprehensive overhaul of both internal and external spaces, aiming to seamlessly integrate modern amenities while preserving the heritage of the original Queenslander home. The scope included a new front driveway, carport, and decorative front fence. On the upper level, the layout was reconfigured to enhance flow, with a new kitchen area, renovated bathrooms, and additional internal walls. Below, new bedrooms with walk-in robes, a shared bathroom, gym, storage room, laundry/multipurpose room, and living room were created, connected to an extended deck and entertaining area.
The design approach prioritised a balance between modern functionality and homage
to the home’s heritage. The clients provided clear direction on finishes, favouring bold stone benchtops, dark joinery colours, feature tapware, and timbers while aiming for a clean and minimalistic palette.
For the kitchen, the aim was to open the space and create a central hub conducive to both cooking and entertaining. High ceilings were accentuated, and materials were chosen to reflect a raw, minimal palette, including spotted gum timbers, brass fixtures, Japanese-style glazed tiles, and a large format porcelain slab for the benchtop. In the bathrooms, bespoke vanities and mirrored cabinets were designed to reflect the joinery language of the house. Stone benchtops, timber-look laminates, terrazzo floor tiles, and white stacked wall tiles were used, complemented by solid spotted gum shelving and brushed brass fittings.
The bar area, doubling as an entertainment space and concealed laundry, was designed with a darker colour palette and varied lighting settings to create an intimate atmosphere. Solid spotted gum was used for the benchtop, extending seamlessly to the outdoor bar bench, while dark tones, brass fittings, and a KitKat-style tile splashback reflected the kitchen design.
Throughout the project, a holistic palette was maintained to offer a calm rhythm to the interiors, with materials chosen for their durability, practicality, and ability to elevate the design. The integration of natural textures, such as timber and stone, served to enhance the connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The meticulous attention to detail ensured a cohesive and stylish outcome across all areas of the renovation and extension.

BENECIA BRISBANE
Superb outcome for challenging reno
Twenty years in the construction industry and RYCON Constructions continues to be synonymous with quality and craftmanship. They are experts when it comes to building modern solutions for commercial projects, stunning luxury homes, and renovating homes into dream abodes.
This has led to a trifecta win in the Brisbane Awards of the FoundationTechnologies Best Use of Sloping Sites Award, BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award, and Best Residential Kitchen. They then went on to win the BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award at the Queensland Awards.
RYCON pride themselves in their advanced skills and experienced builders whose strong work ethic and attention to detail always ensure a successful project outcome. Since 2008, the construction company has won Master Builders awards for various categories, at times winning more than one per award season. RYCON’s focus is on mid-size custom designed commercial projects and the upper end of the residential housing market. They are committed to building luxury excellence in the Queensland construction industry.
Through maintaining open lines of communication RYCON Constructions strives to make the building process an enjoyable and hassle-free experience for all clients and architects. Remaining hands-on with their trades and subcontractors throughout the project guarantees the most minor detail is executed professionally and accurately.
Recently, RYCON embarked on a home renovation project valued over $2 million. Within months, a stunning renovation to a Queenslander located on the banks of the Brisbane River in Dutton Park was completed. Attention to detail ensured the blending of the building’s classic allure with new and contemporary comforts.
It was a challenging build on a steep riverfront block, comprising of a partial demolition and full renovation of a three-storey Queenslander built in the 1920s. However, the hard work was worth it as RYCON Constructions brought home an array of awards from the Brisbane and Queensland Master Builders Awards.
RYCON added a new kitchen and living areas, along with a terraced patio leading to a spa and curved wet edge swimming pool.
Demolition started with the arrival of a fivetonne excavator via a barge on the Brisbane River. With little to no side access on site, excavated rubble had to be removed by lifting 3m2 skip bins from the rear of the block, over the house to street level, then unload into 10m3 tip trucks. A 60t slew crane was used to

accomplish this safely along with two dogmen. The renovation was fitted out with the finest finishes and fixtures, many of which were imported from overseas. The kitchen showcases smooth, modern finishes harmoniously contrasting with the classic VJ panelling, a hallmark of quintessential Queensland architecture. Stunning floorto-ceiling windows framed with a cathedral timber ceiling elevate the outlook from the heart of the home, letting in the natural light.
The client wanted clean lines and ample storage throughout their home renovation. Warm wood tones and zero handles in the large walk-in wardrobe were one way of achieving this.
A frameless glass balustrade makes for unobstructed river and mountain views while adding a touch of modern elegance to the outside spaces. This is complemented by a satin blackbutt wood feature ceiling on the deck.
The owners also enjoy gorgeous views towards the river from an impressive infinity pool which
seamlessly becomes one with its environment. Adding a curve heightens the sense of fluidity and complements the natural surroundings.
A remarkable new life has been breathed into this old Brisbane beauty, blending the original features with modern finishes. This renovation is home to a family of five, who were keen to retain the Queenslander charm at street level while enjoying the best of modern style and convenience over three expansive levels.
Although RYCON do love building luxury homes, there is a deep appreciation for renovating homes and revealing their true potential.
This project was perfect for RYCON as they specialise in the renovation of traditional Queenslanders as well as the development of modern Queenslander homes.
They recognise that the quintessential Queenslander house, although beautiful and distinctive, may need a little help to be brought into the 21st century to create a practical living space while adding value to the home.
Some construction companies walk away after the project is over, but not RYCON.
On completion of all projects, RYCON Constructions presents each client with a fully detailed portfolio of all the relevant building approvals, inspection certificates, certification, and warranties, along with a CD or USB containing progressive photos of the project construction from start to finish.

design
Matt Walters Construction has delivered flawlessly on every aspect of construction on this one-of-a-kind home, for which the team took home the award for Individual Home from $1 million up to $1.5 million in the Master Builders Queensland Housing & Construction Awards.
This residence is more than just a house; it’s a reflection of the clients’ personalities and lifestyles, brought to fruition through thoughtful design and meticulous construction techniques.
Looking at the home from the street, it’s evident the design works cleverly with the site topography, with the entry positioned on a mid-landing. The front entry adds a vibrant touch to the contemporary façade. Durable and timeless brick and steel cladding form the exterior while the brickwork extends into the interior, adding texture and individuality.
The home’s communal areas are situated downstairs while private spaces are housed upstairs for maximum seclusion and quiet.
A bright and airy ambience is maintained throughout both levels thanks to the open stairway. Here, a striking contrast is achieved with the steel mono-stringer staircase paired with black stained timber treads, set against the backdrop of white feature brickwork. This creates a dynamic, visually engaging experience from the moment you step inside.
Natural light and ventilation are abundant, enhancing the home’s comfort and liveability. The living space extends effortlessly to an outdoor dining area and pool terrace, exemplifying the perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. The open layout ensures that the kitchen and dining areas are seamlessly connected, facilitating easy interaction whether you’re entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet meal.
The construction of this unique home has been executed flawlessly by the team at Matt Walters Construction. Their dedication to quality and attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the build.
A heartfelt thank you is extended to all the trusted tradespeople and the exceptional team who contributed their expertise to bring this vision to life. Special recognition goes
to Geoff from Whiteroom Architects for the innovative and original design that has made this project such a standout.
Matt Walters Construction’s mission is to transform clients’ building dreams into tangible, exciting realities. The team is committed to delivering projects of the highest quality while maintaining a strong focus on budget, timelines, and builder-client relationships.
Their approach emphasises ongoing collaboration and the use of innovative building techniques, ensuring a memorable and satisfying building experience for every client.
Every detail, from the striking entrance to the seamless indoor-outdoor flow, showcases the dedication and craftsmanship that Matt Walters Construction prides itself on.

Conveniently located close to Logan Motorway along the rapidly expanding Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor, StoreLocal Berrinba is nestled within a vibrant community centre among fast food outlets, a carwash, childcare centre, and swimming school services.
TOTAL’s dedicated design and delivery team collaborated closely during the preconstruction design phase with StoreLocal to shape the project and align their shared visions of success. This collaborative approach resulted in optimising the floor space utilisation, expanding the net lettable area and increasing the storage unit capacity, whilst maintaining the building’s functionality and aesthetics.
Leveraging TOTAL’s extensive self-storage expertise from the outset, StoreLocal Berrinba boasts a well-proportioned and efficient design, where self-storage space was maximised without compromising
functionality or accessibility, providing an outstanding customer experience.
StoreLocal Berrinba spans over four levels, encompassing a gross floor area of 14,377m2 With a net lettable area of 9,499m2, the facility achieves a 66 per cent space utilisation rate, maximising its storage capacity. Equipped with two goods and passenger lifts for convenient movement of belongings, the facility caters to diverse customer needs with features including co-working space, ideal for entrepreneurs or remote workers seeking a flexible work environment; a customer selfservice area with an interactive kiosk; and spacious units specifically designed to meet the needs of tradespeople, accommodating larger equipment and materials.
Construction of StoreLocal Berrinba presented unique challenges due to the sloping terrain. TOTAL’s development of innovative solutions and meticulous planning ensured smooth progress. This included detailed lift studies for optimal crane placement, strategic concrete pump positioning to navigate

space constraints, and innovative traffic management strategies to minimise cost and disruptions. Further to this, the decision to switch from a precast façade to Askin Volcore panels during the design phase also facilitated an efficient and safer construction process.
Taking the leap into full automation and smart hardware solutions, StoreLocal Berrinba emerges as Australia’s largest remotely monitored storage facility. Deploying state-ofthe-art technology, all doors and access points are monitored and controlled by Nokē One locking system, enabling hassle-free entry and security for self-storage customers as well as facilitating remote monitoring and support by StoreLocal. With 24 hours a day, seven days a week access and an interactive kiosk facilitating bookings, StoreLocal Berrinba customers enjoy unparalleled convenience and peace of mind.
TOTAL’s core values of accountability, integrity, respect, ingenuity and collaboration as well as their commitment to client satisfaction is evident throughout their partnership with StoreLocal.
A client-centric company with extensive experience in self-storage construction, TOTAL strives to support each of their client’s investment decisions by delivering informed design, cost planning advice, and excellence in construction.
Integrated engineering, design, and construction excellence
With a vision to enhance productivity, safety, and operational efficiency, JBS engaged Wiley to deliver a groundbreaking project at their Dinmore facility—the largest beef processing plant in the southern hemisphere. This $77 million complex project was delivered over 23 months, overcoming unique challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, labour shortages, material scarcity, and the 2022 Brisbane floods.
Wiley’s innovative work on this project was recognised with two prestigious awards: the Brisbane Master Builders Award for Commercial/Industrial Building over $50 million and the Australian Institute of Buildings National Award for Research, Development, and Technology.
Wiley has proudly partnered with JBS Australia for over 40 years, when it was formerly known as Australia Meat Holdings, collaborating on a range
This fully automated system enables JBS to process up to 3,400 cattle daily, significantly increasing production capacity and enhancing operational efficiency, while also improving worker and product safety.
of sustainable projects across their facilities nationwide. This collaboration has allowed them to integrate advanced technologies and engineering practices effectively.
This award-winning project at Dinmore involved the construction, equipment manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of advanced mechanical systems. Wiley’s meat specialists developed and implemented innovative technologies, including a marshalling chiller system with thousands of programmable moving parts that required precise design and installation.
This fully automated system enables JBS to process up to 3,400 cattle daily, significantly increasing production capacity and enhancing operational efficiency, while also improving worker and product safety. The upgrade allowed for the implementation of a second production shift in early 2024, creating
hundreds of new jobs for the local community. Wiley is renowned for seamlessly integrating design, engineering, and construction in specialised food industry facilities, delivering projects safely within operational environments. The recognition received underscores Wiley’s expertise, dedication, and innovation in creating cutting-edge meat processing facilities.
Wiley meat industry expert Graham Harvey noted the team’s innovative approaches: “Through advanced technologies, sustainable practices, and efficient processes, Wiley overcame numerous obstacles, including supply chain disruptions and weather impacts, to deliver the project on time and within budget.”
Wiley managing director Suzie Wiley expressed pride in the project’s success: “We are privileged to have a long-standing relationship with JBS, and we’re proud to have delivered a system that not only enhances JBS’ operations but also provides significant employment and economic opportunities for the local community.”
Wiley looks forward to continuing their collaboration with key partners and suppliers, essential to the project’s success, including Davey Group, CE Group, CV Services, Gordon Brothers Industries, Pro Ali Design, Watkins Steel, and ASKIN Performance Panels.
Wiley and JBS celebrate this remarkable achievement and the positive impact it will have on the future of the Australian meat industry. Congratulations to the entire project team!
Strong female lead
Inspirational builder and interior designer Claire Perham from Axiom Construction Group has won the HBA Legal Women in Building Award in both the Brisbane and Queensland Awards. Claire, her husband Jay, and the Axiom team also celebrated winning the Home Renovation Project from $450,000 up to $600,000 in both the Brisbane and Queensland Awards for their flawless renovation, Avalon, at Gordon Park.
With almost 20 years in the construction industry, Claire is a strong and passionate voice in a male-dominated industry. Her mantra of being the change she wants to see in the world has catapulted her into the successful position she is in today.
Following her father around building sites as a young person instilled a passion inside her that was realised in her own career in construction. From starting in admin and bookkeeping roles to now being a licensed builder and general manager of her own construction company, Claire has gone from strength to strength in her career.
Her Diploma in Interior Design along with
her builder’s licence has allowed Claire to be able to take the reins of each project she undertakes. Being part of the planning process provides Claire time to build the project in her mind so when it comes to breaking ground, she knows it inside and out. This process consistently ensures a seamless and harmonious building experience.
Claire has a strong belief that women should be more visible onsite and in leadership roles. She encourages other women through mentoring programs, public speaking events, podcasts, and industry events to stand up and be counted.
Claire believes being a role model in the building and construction industry involves epitomising qualities and behaviours that inspire and encourage others, while specifically promoting diversity and inclusivity, especially for women.
Despite facing her own challenges and biases, Claire has remained resilient and determined to achieve her goals. She has defied stereotypes, proving that women have invaluable contributions to make in the construction industry.

Transforming a Brisbane bungalow: a blend of modern luxury and historic charm
Originally designed by architect Eric P. Trewern in 1933, this Brisbane bungalow has undergone a stunning transformation with a contemporary northern extension.
BC Davis Constructions are redefining what it means to build a home. Family-owned and run, they bring fresh ideas and a personal touch to every project, qualities they were proud to bring to this project. The renovation harmoniously blends the old with the new, creating a luxurious living space that integrates beautifully with its natural surroundings.
The double-storey extension features premium finishes, including a master open-plan kitchen with natural stone benchtops, a concealed laundry, and an entertainment area that flows seamlessly into an outdoor living space.
A breezeway arch made from repurposed bricks connects the new and original sections of the home, adding historical character.
Victorian Ash timber stairs lead to a master bedroom bathed in natural light, with a timeless ensuite featuring Japanese mosaic tiles and a Velux skylight.
The renovation excels in indoor-outdoor integration, with expansive windows and a custom brick pizza oven in the outdoor area. Handmade Italian terracotta tiles and a canopy provides shade, with smooth roofing panels.
The project’s second phase involved rebuilding the garage to blend with the natural terrain and preserve the original character using repurposed bricks. A new timber fence atop the original brick wall enhances the property’s aesthetic.
Facing challenges such as sloped terrain and restricted access, the project required careful planning and teamwork. The preservation of a nearby Jacaranda tree, involving arborist expertise, was a key accomplishment.
Standing proudly on the high side of a hill, this renovation exemplifies the successful fusion of modern luxury with natural beauty, reflecting a vision realised through collaboration, craftmanship, and commitment to quality.
Crafting oldworld charm
Castlebar Constructions is committed to walking through each step of the construction process with the client from foundations to the roof. They are more than ready to sit down for the critical planning stage where designs and layouts of stunning homes are discussed. Receiving necessary approvals and quotes are easy when it comes to Castlebar Constructions. Clients can rest assured that only the highest quality will be provided in the construction or renovation of their home.
From residential, to commercial, to industrial, Castlebar Constructions are ready to work hard on any project. With their growing success and support, the company were able to undertake a beautiful renovation that added an element of modernity to the once traditional home.
Castlebar Constructions attended the Master Builders Queensland Housing & Construction Awards in the Brisbane Exhibition Centre as finalists for their recent project, Iron Bark Manor. Despite not taking the award home, they received immense support from their local community and construction peers. They will undoubtedly return next year with another
breathtaking renovation.
The project Iron Bark Manor was nominated in the renovation category. The home demonstrated beautiful craftmanship through a range of features. The house included a handcut roof, handmade stairs, herringbone floors, a fireplace, and native hardwood posts.
The project was meticulously planned with every detail carefully thought out from the
intricate cornices to the elegant lighting. The combination of traditional old-world charm and contemporary design blend seamlessly to create a truly unique and inviting space.
The solid iron bark posts stand tall and proud, a testament to the quality of workmanship dedicated to this renovation. It’s clear no expense has been spared in transforming this house into a stunning example of Art Deco melding with modern luxury.
Collaborative construction
Owner/director of Saltash Homes, Brett Fowler, has been a keen student of the building and construction industry ever since starting his carpentry apprenticeship down in Tasmania at the fresh age of 16.
With over 20 years’ experience, he has developed his skills and knowledge at every opportunity. This came through trial and error in the early days, which Brett believes is the best way to learn. Over the past few years, Brett’s development and learning has come by surrounding himself with experienced, likeminded peers, mentors, and coaches.
Since starting Saltash Homes in 2018, Brett says he has been lucky enough to work with some amazing tradespeople, designers, consultants, and homeowners to deliver some incredible family homes.
“It’s been a great honour to be awarded the Brisbane Master Builders Rising Star Award for 2024,” he said.
“It’s also a great reward for constantly striving to provide our clients the best experience possible.”
Brett believes that a big contributor to Saltash Homes’ success in recent years is its PAC
Process (Paid as a Consultant) Preliminary Process. This is a collaborative process in which the homeowners engage Saltash Homes as their building consultant throughout the design phase.
Brett works collaboratively with the designer, homeowners, and other consultants. Within the program he provides advice on buildability and cost, throughout each stage of the design process. This allows the designer and homeowners to make informed decisions at each step, enabling Saltash Homes to truly design to clients’ desired project spend.
The time spent with clients throughout the PAC Process fosters great working relationships long before they go to contract and work commences onsite. This makes for an enjoyable building experience for all involved.
Brett’s passion has long been restoring and breathing life back into beloved character Queenslander homes. This has now developed into bringing these lovely old homes up to current building code and energy efficiency standards by way of sustainable, highperformance building practices, ensuring these homes can provide safe, heathy environments for their occupants for years to come.
Specialising in Queenslander-style homes, Saltash Homes are a dedicated team. They possess a strong passion about preserving Brisbane’s rich architectural heritage whilst bringing beloved homes up to the performance standards and comfort levels expected in the 21st century.
Their unwavering commitment to excellence is evident in every project, where they deliver exceptional craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail.
Renowned for their strong client relationships, their close-knit team prioritises open communication and personalised service. This client-centric approach ensures that each home is not only built to perfection but also reflects the homeowner’s vision.
Fastly gaining a reputation for professionalism and superior quality, Saltash Homes stands out for their dedication to both heritage preservation and exceptional client experiences.

A site to behold
Wuersching Industries Building was honoured to take out the Downs and Western Master Builders award for Best Use of Sloping Sites with its entry TAUGOULD.
TAUGOULD represented a lifelong dream for owners John and Kathy. Twelve years ago, they started the design process with initial sketches from Wade Eiser of Aspect Architects. Coming up with a design that was both practical and financially viable was challenging, given the steepness and location of the site.
A 25 per cent site slope gradient proved the perfect opportunity for the Wuersching Industries team to showcase its exceptional level of quality and attention to detail on a difficult and challenging site. Access to the site was very limited, and moving heavy machinery, materials and trades in and out of the site required extremely detailed and organised planning.
With a stunning design and clear criteria, Wuersching Industries Building commenced the build. Work progressed from the top of the slope, with extensive retaining walls, a top-level slab and driveway that would provide access to the remainder of the site.
As the very first footings were dug, it was evident that rock was going to be a huge issue. Almost every rock dug out was reused to shape the landscaping. The next challenge was the weather. Over an eight-month period, rain stalled the project numerous times and caused significant delays.
The next major challenge was the recycled timber floor. Hours of patient craftsmanship revealed the hidden beauty of this old wood. The centrepiece of the home is the stunning fireplace ‘monolith’, which separates the living
area from the dining and kitchen spaces. It provides practical heating during winter, a recessed television space for the living area, and natural timber mantel pieces to complete the look.
Wuersching Industries Building prides itself on quality workmanship and providing a meaningful and personal approach to all their projects. Client involvement and communication through company director Cameron Wuersching is key to maintaining client satisfaction with the final product.

Crafting lifestyles through bespoke homes
Unlike the origin story of most businesses, Orr Made began as a love story.
Matt and Rhiannon’s journey intertwined when they met through mutual friends. Matt, a qualified carpenter was on the cusp of embarking on a three-and-a-half-year adventure in London, while Rhiannon had just graduated from interior design school. Despite the distance, they stayed connected, and fate finally brought them together for their first official date on the very day Matt returned home to Melbourne. Their passion for adventure, property, and aligned ambitions cultivated their deep bond.
Over the years, while Matt and Rhiannon pursued their individual paths in the design and building industries, they never lost sight of their shared aspirations. Immersed in their respective roles at leading companies, they continued to refine their skills and deepen their expertise.
With their profound appreciation for considered design and impeccable craftsmanship, they often found themselves deep in late-night conversations over glasses of red wine, weaving dreams of collaboration. Fast forward seven years, filled with globe-trotting escapades,
personal renovation successes, and the joy of welcoming their first child into the world, their inaugural project materialised when friends approached them to collaborate on their Donvale property. And thus, Orr Made (formally Design Orr Build) was born.
Nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Far North Queensland, Vastu on Oak stands as a testament to precision engineering and collaborative craftsmanship. Constructed by Orr Made, this remarkable project transcends conventional architectural paradigms, embodying the ancient principles of Vastu architecture while showcasing the pinnacle of modern construction techniques. So impressive was this project that it won Orr Made the prestigious Master Builders Queensland BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award.
The construction of Vastu on Oak was characterised by an unwavering commitment to precision. Every aspect of the build, from the foundational groundwork to the finishing touches, was executed with meticulous attention to detail. Achieving 2mm tolerances in overall heights within each room and from the finished floor level to the top of the second-storey roof
structure required unparalleled precision and expertise. Similarly, ensuring consistent wall thicknesses of 120mm throughout the dwelling demanded exacting standards and rigorous quality control measures.
The construction team faced many technical challenges, each requiring innovative solutions and a collaborative approach. From sculpting the soil to slope gently from west to east, in accordance with Vastu principles, to strategically routing services within specific quadrants of the property, every obstacle was met with ingenuity and expertise. Furthermore, the orientation of doors and entrances exclusively towards the east and north posed logistical complexities that were adeptly navigated, ensuring adherence to Vastu guidelines while maintaining structural integrity.
The successful construction of Vastu on Oak was a testament to the power of collaboration. Orr Made partnered with Vastu consultants from India and New Zealand, whose invaluable insights and expertise informed every stage of the construction process. Additionally, the collaboration with Lisa from Urban Abode as the building designer ensured
seamless integration of architectural vision with structural practicality. The dedication and skill of local tradespeople and suppliers further contributed to the project’s success, underscoring the importance of teamwork in achieving ambitious construction goals.
In overcoming the myriad of challenges posed by the project, Vastu on Oak emerges not only as a physical structure but as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. The precision achieved in construction, coupled with the seamless integration of Vastu principles, elevates the dwelling beyond mere architecture to a manifestation of cosmic harmony in built form. Through collaborative efforts and unwavering dedication, Orr Made has played its part in redefining the boundaries of construction excellence among the cohort of high-quality builders in Far North Queensland.
Vastu on Oak stands as a beacon of precision construction and collaborative endeavor, a testament to the transformative power of architectural innovation. Through meticulous planning, technical expertise, and commitment to Vastu principles, Orr Made has crafted a dwelling that transcends the ordinary, embodying the harmonious convergence of tradition and modernity. As the first Vastucompliant home in Far North Queensland, Vastu on Oak not only reflects the ingenuity of its creators but also serves as an enduring symbol of human aspiration and achievement in the realm of construction excellence.
Orr Made’s integrated interior design and build team with a passion for creating bespoke homes. The team believes every space has the power to enrich lives, whether it’s a family home, or a place of work. Spaces that move the spirit, summon the mind to live better.

Renovation of the century
Natalie and Wayne bought their property at Innisfail in late 2021 with plans to update only the downstairs laundry. However, after consulting with Cane Cutter Construction, their vision expanded to a major renovation of their nearly 100-year-old Queenslander. The renovation aimed for an open-plan design with striking windows and glass doors throughout. Key renovations included removing loadbearing walls in the living, dining, kitchen, and study areas; stripping ceiling linings from these areas and some hallways; relocating the internal staircase; closing doorways in the fourth bedroom and living room; adding a butler’s pantry, a mudroom, kitchenette, front entry downstairs, and an external storage room; revamping the existing timber floors; installing feature wooden panels around the internal staircase; extending the main bedroom’s built-ins; and, of course, renovating the laundry—the original renovation plan.
Cane Cutter Construction worked with a structural engineer to design and remove load-bearing walls. Removal stage saw the team remove ceiling and wall linings, install acro
props to support the ceiling, and cut holes for the new staircase.
Installation stage saw the installation of large beams spanning up to 8.2m and weighing up to 500kg, which had to be lifted into the house using a crane. New steel posts concealed within wall frames supported these beams, and a new ceiling frame created a flat bulkhead over the kitchen, adjusting the ceiling height while meeting regulations. Handcrafted slat
work and balustrades were installed around the new internal staircase designed and fitted by Cane Cutter Construction.
This beautiful and carefully executed renovation has brought this century-old Queenslander back to life, providing open-plan living and loads of natural light.
Cane Cutter Construction was thrilled to be able to bring Natalie and Wayne’s vision to fruition, delivering the home of their dreams.

Bringing dream homes to life
In Cairns and the surrounding North Queensland areas, choosing the right building company is crucial for a family’s dream home. The Seaside Residence project highlights the exceptional service offered by Makaira Homes, showcasing how they tackle challenges head-on. Through their hard work and dedication, the project was rewarded with the Master Builders Queensland award for Individual Home from $550,000 up to $700,000.
From the beginning, Makaira faced the unique situation of working on an irregularly shaped corner block. Close collaboration with the owners, architects, certifiers, and local council was essential to create a layout that met the owners’ desires while adhering to siting regulations. This corner location posed logistical challenges during construction, requiring meticulous planning for deliveries, concrete pumps, cranes, and storage.
To optimise the build, the pool shell was installed first, ensuring access for future construction. The design features, such as a stunning breeze block wall and a recessed
entry with an oversized door, enhance the home’s street appeal.
Structurally, the residence includes varying height block walls, a soaring raked ceiling in the kitchen and living areas, and a skillion roof with multiple pitches. A block parapet wall at the front and a separate pool bar structure integrate seamlessly with the overall design.
A standout aspect of the build was the polished concrete flooring—Makaira’s first experience with this material. Challenges were navigated in achieving a uniform pour and protecting the surface until final handover.
The finishing touches included fully tiled bathrooms, a kitchen complete with a butler’s
pantry, striking timber barn doors, and square-set ceilings. The timber-framed curved wall at the entry added a unique architectural flair, despite the complexities involved in its construction. With a bright white interior complemented by sleek black fixtures and feature wallpaper, this home exudes modern elegance.
Situated in Palm Cove, Makaira Homes is dedicated to delivering exceptional style and quality in custom-built homes and tropical renovations. Working closely with clients throughout the entire process to ensure that every detail of design and finishes reflects their vision, all while committing to complete projects on time and within budget.

Queensland construction powerhouse
The Havendeen Group has emerged as an ambitious and driven powerhouse in the Queensland construction industry.
With two key divisions, Havendeen Roofing and Havendeen Projects, the Gold Coast-based company has established itself as a leader in residential and commercial construction.
Havendeen Projects took out the prestigious Colorbond House of the Year Award and the Individual Home in the $5 million to $10 million in the Queensland Awards. They also garnered significant recognition in the Gold Coast Awards, winning multiple accolades including House of the Year, TAFE Qld Gold Coast Apprentice of the Year, Best Residential Kitchen, Best Residential Pool, and Best Individual Home in the $5 million to $10 million range for their residential project PALA.
Built with longevity in mind, PALA has an underground basement, three suspended post tensioned concrete slabs and vertical elements, including precast panels as well as expressed steel elements. The use of precast panels is not common in single dwelling residential builds and was a challenging aspect of the project. With 22 panel installations in total, meticulous planning with all parties and stakeholders involved ensured the installation went smoothly.
Council flood storage requirements were utilised to their advantage building a suspended structure and adding additional lawn whilst providing secure storage, a total gain of 175m2 of usable land. An innovative steel retaining edge detail was created for the water facing block work creating a lawn-only edge to water view—the infinity lawn.
Taking home the coveted Apprentice of the Year award was Havendeen employee, Ned Foley. Ned is viewed as a valuable team member to the Havendeen Projects site team. Growing up on a property west of Tamworth, hands on machinery, farm labour along with good work ethic and attitude are engrained in his skillset.
“Advice I was given when starting my apprenticeship is, if you are not 10 minutes early, you’re late,” he says.
The success at the recent Master Builders Awards is a result of years of hard work and a commitment to building a robust and capable team that delivers to the highest quality and coordination on all projects. While Havendeen Roofing was established over 25 years ago, it was in 2010 that the company was
acquired by current owner and Director, Rob McKinnon. Over the past decade, Havendeen has consistently pushed the standards in the roofing and cladding industry. A team of over 70 employees has expanded its current stature as one of the leading contractors in Queensland.
Havendeen Roofing is known for delivering high-quality workmanship across a variety of projects, including hospitals, stadiums, retail centres, and residential towers. With projects such as Queens Wharf Development, Gatton Prison, and Townsville Stadium, Havendeen continues to develop and innovate work procedures and practices in order to maintain its position as the roofing contractor of choice. The next evolution of Havendeen came in 2016 when Rob and Tui McKinnon announced the launch of Havendeen Projects; a division dedicated to bold new builds and significant renovations. There’s a certain style to a Havendeen Project that makes it undeniably Havendeen. The company’s ability to deliver high-calibre projects demonstrates their skill
With two key divisions, Havendeen Roofing and Havendeen Projects, the Gold Coastbased company has established itself as a leader in residential and commercial construction.
in managing complex residential builds and their dedication to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in home design.
Utilising the same foundations and resources as the Roofing division, Havendeen Project’s portfolio is a testament to their expertise. Some of their most notable projects include Project 88, Olsens Miami, and the awardwinning PALA. PALA’s success at the Master Builders Awards underscores Havendeen’s excellence in the construction industry. There’s
no doubt that PALA sets a new standard of what is possible in modern residential construction, in particular Gold Coast canal living.
Family owned and operated, the heart of Havendeen’s success is their ability and desire to create unique projects for the clients and themselves. They view themselves as both client and builder, providing an understanding to those seeking a safe return on investment. Their own property portfolio, both commercial and residential, continues to expand and be recognised as a quality investments in the real estate market.
Havendeen offers a holistic yet flexible approach to projects, from preliminary design support and feasibility, through to construction, certification, and handover. Their clients are involved in every step of the process, ensuring that the end result is a true reflection of their vision. Havendeen Projects limit their projects to ensure not only quality but also continued enthusiasm and enjoyment for themselves in the building game.
Havendeen Group’s success is not just defined by the accolades and recognition it has received but also by the unwavering trust of its clients. The company’s commitment to quality workmanship and management is evident in every project they undertake, whether it’s a small renovation or large-scale commercial projects. Havendeen’s approach to business is client-centric, focusing on understanding the unique needs of each client. This dedication to personalised service has led to long-lasting relationships and a strong reputation in the industry.
The company’s ability to adapt and innovate in a rapidly changing industry has been a key factor in its growth and continued success. Moreover, Havendeen’s strong team of skilled professionals and trades share a common goal of achieving quality finishes and maintained market position.
The company invests in the development of its employees, ensuring that they are equipped with the latest knowledge, programs, equipment, and techniques. This commitment to professional development has fostered a culture of continuous improvement within the company, where employees are encouraged to take initiative and contribute innovative ideas to the projects they work on.

Lifting luxury to new heights
With its stunning craftsmanship and luxurious touches, OMNIA is more than just a place to live; it’s a lifestyle where luxury meets innovation, offering an entirely new standard in Gold Coast living.
Centrally located in Palm Beach on the Gold Coast, a short distance from the vibrant Burleigh Heads. OMNIA offers residents the perfect combination of both city lifestyle and coastal living.
This incredible development redefines luxury with its breathtaking design and craftsmanship. OMNIA was recently awarded the Master Builders Awards Judges Commendation winner for 2024. Valued at nearly $19 million, OMNIA combines three building types—Class 2, 7a, and 10b—creating a unique offering that stands out in the market. Buyers are drawn to its appeal, enjoying lower body corporate fees and better returns, making it a win for everyone involved.
5Point Projects embraced the challenge of showcasing opulence on an expansive
scale. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed, ensuring finishes resonated with sophistication. The project features a corkscrew basement for car parking, built well below sea level utilising specialised watertight techniques to safeguard valuable vehicles against sea water ingress and leaks. 5Point Projects undertook several workshops with its retention and waterproofing contractors to ensure they delivered this feature to the highest possible standards.
With OMNIA integrating with the Gold Coast City Council’s Oceanway works, 5Point Projects liaised closely with council to build the pedestrian walkway, which was constructed over the project’s seawall. After many meetings, it was decided that 5Point Projects would carry out the construction of this section of the Oceanway on behalf of the council.
In delivering this special project, the 5Point Projects team sourced top-quality materials from Europe, creating a beautiful selection of finishes that tie the entire development together. This, paired with the quality
workmanship and attention to detail by the trade professionals selected, meant OMNIA exceeded the luxury standard expected by 5Point Projects’ client and the buyers.
“OMNIA construction commenced in July 2021, which turned out to be one of the most challenging times for the construction industry,” 5Point Projects’ client, Glenn Ryan, explains.
“COVID-19 rocked the world and brought with it long and expensive delays in the supply of materials and trades. 5Point managed to hold on while other building companies were folding, and the result is a building we are incredibly proud of.
“My wife and I held the penthouse as our residence and, as specified, a wide range of high-end finishes and features have been included. The development was delivered beautifully and, in our opinion, would be comparable to the best real estate in its category on the Gold Coast.
“It’s a great result for us, and a big thank you to 5Point Projects.”

A tranquil retreat: Airlie Beach rainforest bungalows
Nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Airlie Beach, Saltair Modular has crafted a set of five exquisite rainforest-inspired bungalows that embody the perfect marriage of innovation, functionality, and sustainable design. These bungalows, based on modified versions of Saltair’s Keppel 111 and Keppel 112 standard designs, stand as a testament to the company’s commitment to excellence, overcoming numerous challenges to create a remarkable residential retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. The beautiful bungalows took home the Judges Commendation for Innovation award this Master Builders award season.
The design process: balancing form and function
The design of these bungalows was no small feat. Each was meticulously crafted to balance form and function, reflecting the harmony of the surroundings. The modifications made to the standard designs were driven by the need to address the specific challenges posed by the site’s environment, particularly the stringent wind rating requirements inherent to the Airlie Beach area. These wind ratings are crucial in a region prone to tropical cyclones, where building structures must be robust enough to withstand extreme weather conditions.
To meet these requirements, Saltair Modular employed advanced engineering techniques and high-quality materials, ensuring each bungalow complied the necessary standards.
The outdoor living areas offer residents a peaceful retreat where they can unwind and reconnect with nature. These spaces were designed with the environment in mind, featuring materials and finishes that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape.
Integration with the environment: a seamless blend
The orientation and layout of each bungalow was carefully planned to optimise natural light and cross-ventilation. This approach not only fosters a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment but also enhances the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Expansive windows and sliding doors were strategically placed to invite the lush surroundings into the living areas.
The outdoor living areas offer residents a peaceful retreat where they can unwind and reconnect with nature. These spaces were designed with the environment in mind, featuring materials and finishes that blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. The result is a set of bungalows that not only complement their surroundings but also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of the site.
The streetscape and
landscaping:
enhancing the natural beauty
The streetscape appeal of the bungalows is another significant aspect of the project. The design of the bungalows was carefully considered to ensure they would not only blend with but also enhance the natural beauty of the area. The clients played a crucial role in this aspect, taking charge of the landscaping and ensuring that the gardens were both visually appealing and in harmony with the site’s existing ecosystem.
The landscaping efforts were guided by a commitment to preserving the integrity of the natural environment. Native plants were selected to enhance the visual appeal while supporting local wildlife and maintaining the ecological balance of the area.
Innovative design features: tailored for comfort and sustainability
Each bungalow is a showcase of innovative design features that have been tailored to maximise functionality and comfort. The open-plan living areas are designed to seamlessly transition to private outdoor spaces, creating a fluid connection between the indoors and outdoors. This design approach not only enhances the living experience but also contributes to the overall sustainability of the bungalows by promoting natural ventilation and reducing the need for artificial heating and cooling.
Overcoming distance challenges: a commitment to excellence
One of the most significant challenges of this project was the more than 1,000km distance between Saltair’s factory and the site in Airlie Beach. This distance added a layer of complexity to the logistics of the project, demanding careful planning and execution to ensure timely and efficient delivery of the modular components. Despite these
challenges, Saltair’s team demonstrated exemplary expertise and ingenuity, ensuring that each bungalow was constructed to the highest standards of quality and durability.
The clients played an integral role in the success of the project by taking advantage of Saltair’s Factory Complete package. This package allowed the clients to facilitate the local works required for the project, ensuring that the final touches were executed to perfection. The clients also added their own special touches to the bungalows and landscaping, further enhancing the overall appeal and making the bungalows a truly unique and outstanding residential retreat.
A testament to quality and innovation
The Airlie Bungalows stand as a testament to Saltair Modular’s unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainable design. Through meticulous planning, advanced engineering, and a deep respect for the natural environment, Saltair has delivered a set of bungalows that not only meet the highest standards of craftsmanship but also enhance the beauty of their surroundings. This project is a shining example of what can be achieved when design, functionality, and sustainability are harmoniously integrated, resulting in a residential retreat that offers both comfort and a deep connection to nature.

Elevated coastal living
In the beautiful coastal region of Mackay, Queensland, the B is for Bona Vista renovation stands as a testament to the power of innovative design and high-quality building techniques and materials.
Designed by Tempus Design Studio and built by Matthew Brady Projects, B is for Bona Vista has garnered praise from the homeowners, the general public, and Master Builders Queensland, who awarded it twice as the winner of Home Renovation Project from $750,000 up to $1 million and Best Residential Kitchen.
B is for Bona Vista seamlessly merges style and livability, inviting you into a realm where refined design sensibilities meet the art of comfortable living. Matthew Brady Projects prides themselves in attention to detail and Bona Vista demonstrates this exquisitely. The project aimed to transform a 1970s brick veneer building into a modern and functional family home. The design focused on converting the dated and cramped floor plan into an open, inviting space for living, entertaining, and playing. From its alluring façade to the modern
Key objectives included maximising natural light, integrating indoor and outdoor living areas, and creating a private, luxurious master suite.
interiors, every facet exudes an eloquent narrative of tasteful sophistication.
Key objectives included maximising natural light, integrating indoor and outdoor living areas, and creating a private, luxurious master suite. The goal was to provide a harmonious connection between spaces while ensuring functionality and aesthetic appeal.
An essential element in this transformation was the use of DecoClad, a non-combustible cladding material that significantly elevated both the aesthetic and durability of the Bona Vista home. Pairing aluminium’s proven strength and durability with a super durable powder coating DecoClad can be used horizontally for the traditional weatherboard look, gable ends and façades, or vertically as a contemporary feature.
The choice of Colorbond’s matt finish in enseam cladding also added a contemporary edge, with its subtle colour perfectly showcasing the ever-changing play of shadows and light throughout the day. This choice not only modernised the exterior but also contributed to the home’s overall aesthetic as well as providing easy maintenance.
The success of the B is for Bona Vista project extends beyond its visual appeal; it demonstrates the profound impact that innovative design and high-quality materials and finishes can have on a renovation. By transforming an outdated structure into a contemporary, coastal family abode, the project serves as an inspiring example for future renovation projects.
It also showcases the dedication to detail that is shared not only by the designers but the contractors as well, a collaboration that produces only the best product.
B is for Bona Vista Renovation is more than just a renovation project; it is a testament to the power of creativity and craftsmanship. This outstanding build by the team at Matthew Brady Projects offers a blueprint for future renovations in the region, illustrating the possibilities that arise when design vision meets construction excellence.
Pho-nominal fit-out
From concept to completion, Flavours of Vietnam showcases Matthew Brady Projects’ passion for innovative construction, with Master Builders Queensland honouring the Mackay-based building company with the award for Commercial Fitout up to $5 million.
Matthew Brady Projects was approached by the owners of Flavours of Vietnam to create a commercial fitout in a large space that would provide an immersive and memorable Vietnamese dining experience in the heart of Mackay. The design brief called for a space that was warm, inviting, and emphasised the authenticity of Vietnamese street food.
A builder’s dream, the construction process required stripping back the building to its bare bones exposing all of its secrets, and transforming it into something beautiful.
The resulting fitout seamlessly blends traditional Vietnamese elements with contemporary aesthetics, reflecting the rich heritage of the owners and accommodating the increased seating capacity of the new space.
The new layout of the restaurant facilitates smooth traffic flow for both staff and patrons. The restaurant needed to be both functional and efficient, with well-planned spaces that would support the operations of the back-of-
In terms of aesthetics, Matthew Brady Projects focused on incorporating traditional Vietnamese design features such as intricate woodwork, vibrant colours, and culturally significant artworks throughout the restaurant.
house staff while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for guests. This included thoughtful placement of kitchen facilities, storage areas, and service stations to enhance operational efficiency and minimise disruptions.
In terms of aesthetics, Tempus Design focused on incorporating traditional Vietnamese design features such as intricate woodwork, vibrant colours, and culturally significant artworks throughout the restaurant. These elements were carefully balanced with modern design principles to create a space was both authentic and contemporary. The use of natural materials and textures was key to achieving this balance, providing a warm and inviting ambiance that reflected the essence of Vietnamese culture.
Thanks to the team at Matthew Brady Projects, Flavours of Vietnam has been transformed into a vibrant and immersive dining experience. The restaurant not only met but exceeded the expectations of the owners, offering a setting that celebrates their Vietnamese heritage while embracing modern design trends. This incredible fitout captures the heart and soul of Vietnam, providing a memorable dining experience for all who visit.
Congratulations to all winners & entries at this year’s Master Builders Awards QLD, we are proud to have worked with so many of you and look forward to working with many more.
A place for the next generation
A family-owned and operated company, WHF is headquartered in Queensland. Established in 1993, their team have forged an enviable reputation for delivering excellence. This commitment was demonstrated in the Eden Academy project, a construction venture that led to WHF winning the Education Facilities up to $10 million Master Builders award.
The Eden Academy Mackay Day Care Centre in Rural View, Mackay was designed and constructed to create the perfect safe learning environment for the children who
will be attending the centre.
For the clients and WHF, ensuring energy efficiency and sustainability were key priorities for consideration during the construction and development process.
To ensure energy efficiency, the day care centre was designed with several features. These included the use of insulation materials to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, natural ventilation systems to reduce reliance on air conditioning, and the installation of solar panels for renewable energy generation. The
five-star fixtures and fittings used throughout the centre further contribute to its energy efficiency by minimising water usage through low-flow toilets and tap aerators.
Sustainability was also prioritised through a careful selection of materials in relation to their environmental impact. Recycled materials were utilised where possible, reducing waste and minimising the carbon footprint of the project.
A commercial kitchen was designed with safety, efficiency, and compliance in mind, ensuring a place for nutritious meals and snacks to be created for the children in care.
Additionally, an external playground was included in the design to provide children with access to natural outdoor spaces for play and learning. Maintenance-free fixtures and fittings were chosen for their durability and longevity. These include materials such as stainless steel for door handles and taps, as well as low-maintenance flooring options like rubber or vinyl tiles. By investing in these robust sustainable materials upfront, ongoing maintenance costs are significantly reduced over the life cycle of the day care centre.

Strong with Simon Bell
With a strong foundation in carpentry and extensive experience in the construction industry, Simon Bell embarked on a journey that led to the establishment of our familyoperated business in Townsville.
In the competitive world of luxury home construction, only a select few properties rise above the rest to achieve excellence in both design and functionality. This year, one remarkable home has captured the spotlight, earning prestigious accolades such as Best Residential Kitchen, Best Residential Swimming Pool, and Individual Home from $3 million up to $4 million in the Master Builders Awards.
Located in an idyllic setting, project Breakwater is a masterpiece of modern architecture. Its exterior is a striking blend of natural stone, wood, and glass, creating a façade that is both welcoming and visually capturing. The design harmonises with the surrounding landscapes of the marina, Castle Hill, and the city of Townsville. Large windows allow natural light to flood the interior while offering stunning views of the outdoor spaces and city around them.
Upon entering the home, visitors are greeted
by an expansive curved staircase with rendered micro-cement internal walls and natural American oak timber floors. High ceilings and clean lines give the interior a sense of grandeur, while the carefully chosen materials and finishes add warmth and sophistication. Each room has been thoughtfully designed to balance openness with intimacy, creating spaces that are both functional and inviting with ensuites to each.
At the centre of this exquisite home is the award-winning kitchen, a space that embodies the perfect blend of form and function. What sets this kitchen apart is its attention to detail. From energy-efficient appliances to smart technology that enhances convenience, every element has been chosen to create a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional. The design also prioritises storage and organisation, with cleverly integrated solutions that keep the space clutter-free and visually appealing.
Beyond the interior, the home’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive, particularly the awardwinning pool area. The infinity pool features clean lines and a tranquil blue hue that invites
relaxation heated at 30° C for all year-round. Surrounding the pool is a private boardwalk and boat ramp. The pool area seamlessly extends the living space outdoors, making it the perfect setting for both relaxation and entertaining. This space is a testament to the builders’ ability to create outdoor environments that are as functional as they are beautiful.
The success of this home lies in the craftsmanship and innovation that underpin every aspect of its design. The builders have expertly combined traditional techniques with modern technology, resulting in a home that is not only visually stunning but also built to last. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, from the foundation to the finishing touches, making this home a true work of art.
This award-winning home is more than just a residence; it is a statement of luxury, comfort, and cutting-edge design. As a standout in this year’s Master Builders Awards, it sets a new benchmark for what is possible in residential construction. This home will undoubtedly inspire future projects and remain a symbol of excellence in the world of luxury living.
From energy-efficient appliances to smart technology that enhances convenience, every element has been chosen to create a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional.
Rising to the challenge
Wilkinson Homes strives to capture the principles of quality customer service. The team always endeavours the job is done right the first time, every time. The Director/ Manager/Supervisor, John Wilkinson is wellknown for combining functionality, beauty, and style in every home. His skill, along with his team’s were proven with a win at the Master Builders Awards. Wilkinson Homes won the Home Renovation Project from $600,000 up to $750,000 for their Can’t build out, let’s go UP!! project and were an entrant in Home Renovation Project from $300,000 up to $450,000 for their Room to Grow in Kelso project.
Working on the Can’t build out, let’s go UP!! project presented many challenges during the construction journey. A key challenge was building on top of the existing home whilst allowing the homeowners to occupy the lower area for all but five weeks of the construction period (from September 2023 to February 2024).
96 per cent of the roof was removed for a period to install the heavy steel bearers that support the engineered joists, timber wall frames, and flooring. Careful planning and measurements for the manufacture of the roof trusses and BHP Colorbond roofing iron and other building components were paramount to make everything fit and cyclone-proof.
A new centrepiece stairwell with Australian spotted gum hardwood adorns the centre of the existing downstairs living room. The spotted gum hardwood complements the existing flooring and new flooring. The stairs lead up to three new bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an upper entertaining room. The sliding glass door in the upper entertaining room and the sundown balcony, provides views of the lakes, nature, and wildlife.
To utilise additional space, a storage area was added which provides access to the roof space for any required future maintenance access.
A key challenge was building on top of the existing home whilst allowing the homeowners to occupy the home for all but five weeks of the construction period
The inclusion of a laundry chute between the two bathrooms ensure that the dirty clothes go downstairs for easy laundry access. Alterations were also made to the downstairs bathroom and a new butler’s pantry and kitchen was installed.
The completion of this intricate renovation demonstrated that with adequate planning, time, and resources, and using a dedicated and experienced builder, building upwards instead of outwards can welcome fantastic results.
Wilkinson Homes are always consistent with their high-quality workmanship. This commitment is further established in their Room to Grow in Kelso project. Always
collaborating with the clients and futureplanning, the open entry to the house allows for future planting of greenery and a ‘Bali’ garden on the outside as part of the landscaping.
Fresh open air is paramount in the home with cool breezes blowing through the many louvre windows throughout and the huge six-metre-wide entertainer glass door. Stepping outside, this door leads to a spacious patio. This renovation offers the ideal extension for a large family which doubles as a parent’s retreat from the children.
Being in the industry for the last 40 years, Wilkinson Homes build every home with the quality and care.

Innovation in action: Sunshine Coast Airport car rental offices
Saltair Modular’s expertise in innovative design and construction is exemplified in the completion of the car rental offices at Sunshine Coast Airport. This project serves as a prime example of their ability to overcome complex logistical challenges, delivering a high-quality and functional facility within tight timeframes, all while adhering to budget constraints earning them the Commercial / Industrial Building up to $5 million Master Builders Award.
A seamless process
The project was executed as a full designand-construct venture, requiring seamless coordination with the ongoing civil and car park works contracted separately by the client, Sunshine Coast Airport. The challenge was not merely in the construction itself but in synchronising every aspect of the project with the various entities involved. Despite these challenges, the team rose to the occasion, ensuring a smooth and efficient construction process from start to finish. The unique demands of this project required the team to think creatively and collaborate closely with the airport’s management team. This close partnership allowed them to anticipate potential issues and develop solutions in real-time, preventing delays and ensuring that the project stayed on track.
Beating the clock
Time was of the essence for the client, who needed the facility to be operational before the school holiday period. The project was delivered ahead of the client’s target, a testament to Saltair Modular’s dedication.
Delivering the project within such a tight timeframe was a major accomplishment. Each phase of the project was carefully planned and executed with the utmost precision. The ability to deliver on time not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, solidifying Saltair Modular’s reputation as a reliable partner capable of handling high-pressure projects.
A unified effort
Throughout the design and construction phases, the proactive and collaborative approach fostered an excellent relationship with the client and all involved parties. Saltair Modular says they commend the client for their exceptional coordination efforts, particularly in liaising with the eight different car hire company tenants who would be utilising the building.
Additionally, the effective site coordination between Saltair Modular and the separate civil
contractor played a pivotal role in the project’s success. Ongoing collaboration with the airport’s technical, maintenance, and operational staff was essential to ensure the project proceeded smoothly within the operational constraints of the airport environment.
Innovative solutions
The compressed construction timeframes and site constraints posed by parallel civil works necessitated an innovative approach to project delivery. To meet these challenges, Saltair Modular devised a modular delivery method that allowed for rapid assembly onsite. Two oversized 96m² modules were transported from their Coolum production facility to the airport under a carefully planned police escort during curfew hours. This strategy not only accelerated construction but also minimised disruption to airport operations, as it allowed a key airport thoroughfare to reopen by 5am.
Delivering these oversized modules during curfew hours required meticulous planning and coordination. The complexity of the project was further heightened by the need to address the unique requirements of the eight different car hire companies. Designing custom workspaces, managing extensive data and communications infrastructure, and ensuring compliance with all regulatory standards added layers of complexity that the team navigated with precision.
A job well done
Saltair Modular takes immense pride in the quality of workmanship exhibited in the completed car rental offices. From the meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of construction to the seamless integration
The project was executed as a full design-andconstruct venture, requiring seamless coordination with the ongoing civil and car park works contracted separately by the client, Sunshine Coast Airport.
of innovative design solutions, the finished facility stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to excellence.
The Sunshine Coast Airport car rental offices not only meet the functional needs of the client and tenants but also set a new standard for modular construction in complex environments. This project exemplifies their ability to deliver high-quality, customised solutions that are both efficient and sustainable, even under challenging conditions.
The finished product is a facility that not only meets the immediate needs of the client but also provides long-term value through its durability, design, and functionality. The project’s success is a clear indicator of Saltair Modular’s capability to handle complex, multi-
faceted projects with ease and precision.
The completion of the Sunshine Coast Airport car rental offices is a significant achievement for Saltair Modular. The project underscores their capacity to innovate and adapt in the face of logistical challenges, delivering a facility that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Their collaborative approach, combined with their commitment to quality and timely delivery, has resulted in a project that exceeds expectations and sets a benchmark for future modular construction projects in similarly complex environments. The successful execution of this project serves as a reminder of what can be achieved when innovation, collaboration, and craftsmanship are at the forefront of construction.
Vacation in luxury
Luxury living is no stranger to the Palm Lake Group, with more than 47 years of experience crafting luxury resorts, retirement villages, and state-of-the-art aged care facilities.
Palm Lake Group are committed to crafting communities that are not only friendly and welcoming, but also inspiring and aspirational. Their portfolio of 28 communities across Australia have been richly rewarded, including winning Master Builders Awards for their resorts, country clubs, and display homes.
Palm Lake Works, the building team behind all Palm Lake Resort construction projects, enjoyed a double awards haul at the recent Master Builders Sunshine Coast Awards. The twin wins make it five consecutive awardwinning years for the Queensland-based family owned and operated company—and they couldn’t be prouder.
The judges named Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters’ Cimarron display residence the best in its category (Display Home over $800,000) and the renovation of Pelican Waters Golf Club was named Best Commercial Refurbishment/ Renovation project from $15 million up to $30 million. The two projects sit side-by-side in this coveted Sunshine Coast suburb.
Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters takes its style cues from the exclusive, internationally renowned holiday haven of Palm Springs; the aesthetic is obvious from the street as
you approach the award-winning two-storey Cimarron display residence.
Externally, Cimarron’s distinctive flat roofline is perfectly complemented by unexpected, curved walls and a circular porthole feature. The story of this façade is one of rich contrasting textures. Rendered Hebel finished in crisp, bright white paint contrasts against the warmth of the Knotwood timber-look metal cladding and its vertical lines en masse, as well as accents of dry stacked natural stone cladding.
Beyond the majestic Cimarron’s front door, your eye is drawn up the graceful, curved lines of the impressive staircase. Positioned to capitalise on the grandeur of this space, the stairwell is bathed in even more inviting natural light. This staircase might be functional, but more so a sculptural masterstroke.
Both inside and out, luxurious textural finishes have dominated the decision making in this three-bedroom (plus activity room), three-and-a-half-bathroom residence. From the sleek built-in woodgrain cabinetry to the custom terrazzo tiles that were specifically designed and manufactured for the Palm Lake Group, every surface of this residence effortlessly grabs your attention.
In fact, luxurious inclusions are abounded in the Cimarron. In the kitchen, you’ll find SMEG Dolce Stil Novo appliances, an integrated refrigerator and a custom-designed
five-in-one Billi Tap with sparkling water functionality that, again, you’ll only find in Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters residences.
There’s a chic internal lift that makes access between the two levels a breeze, an electric fireplace to keep things cosy in the winter and even a plunge pool for those warm Sunshine Coast days. But maybe what impacts you most about this spacious 497.6m2 abode is just that: an overwhelming sense of space. Light-filled, airy and bright, with 3m ceilings, windows offering 2700mm head-height and 2400mm internal doors, the resulting feeling is one of undeniable relaxation and ease.
Over in the Commercial Refurbishment/ Renovation category, the judges agreed that Pelican Waters Golf Club has seen an incredible transformation from its original decades-old 1124m2 structure.
The original building was completely gutted—bar the external walls and roof trusses—and extensively refitted. An impressive 1696m 2 extension was added to create a luxuriously grand 2820m 2 facility that now matches the prestige of the awardwinning Greg Norman-designed 18-hole championship golf course that it services.
The double awards win proves why Australia’s most savvy over-50s are choosing the exclusive and iconic Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters address as their own.
Inspiring Hinterland home
Alternative Construction Projects is renowned for delivering custom-built homes with a focus on exceptional quality and transparent communication throughout the build process.
Ridgewood Downs in the Noosa Hinterland is a project that highlights the company’s expertise, earning it the trophy for Master Builders Queensland Home Renovation Project from $1 million up to $2 million.
Originally a 149m2 home, it has been expanded to 695m2, including a 546m2 extension. This project features three fireplaces adorned with over 50m2 of Jindera dry stone and more than six km of 136mm spotted gum decking and floorboards, all installed with meticulous care.
Access presented a significant challenge from the outset of the project. The long dirt driveway, characterised by a steep, tight bend, necessitated innovative solutions such as using two franna cranes working in tandem to position the trusses and craning roofing sheets from the roadside. Compliance with new Bushfire Attack Level regulations required substantial upgrades, including improvements to window screens and timber skirting around the deck.
Custom elements include repurposed farm timber transformed into a unique bench seat and hat shelf, herringbone decking patterns at changes in direction, and Queensland maple shelving with an integrated firewood
box around one of the fireplaces. To maintain aesthetics, two 5,000-gallon concrete tanks were cleverly concealed beneath the main deck. The existing house, which was 25mm out of level, required careful concealment within the decking subfloor and cladding. Preservation of a much-loved mature maple tree was ensured through vacuum pumping during excavation.
High-quality insulation was installed throughout, both new and retrofitted to the existing structure, providing comfortable temperatures year-round without mechanical cooling.
Despite the complexities, including a four-week acclimatisation period for the floorboards, the project was completed in just over nine months.
Alternative Construction Projects director and builder Todd Stolberg has amassed 17 years of construction experience over his career. Since founding Alternative Construction Projects in 2013, Todd has led a dedicated team focused on quality craftsmanship and clear communication, ensuring an enjoyable building experience.
Style set in stone
Situated on the beautiful banks of the Maroochydore River, Lorient by Mosaic is a shining example of Aspen Stone Construction’s award-winning stonework.
Within the luxurious multi-residential apartments, Aspen Stone Construction’s experienced stonemasons created a bespoke masterpiece across a number of areas throughout the building, including the two iconic curved stone walls.
The project presented a number of challenges. Aspen Stone Construction was commissioned to install the Grecian quartzite on the river revetment wall. In order for the stone to bond correctly, the team used appropriate mechanical preparation along with specially formulated materials to contend with the salt water. As the tide continually changed, they had to work with incredible efficiency to contend with the rise and falls using special fast-set adhesives.
Another major challenge was the scale of the work involved. With over 200m2 of stone installed, continuity of style and quality was absolutely paramount, particularly when it came to the two large stone curved walls. Aspen Stone Construction worked closely
ASPEN STONE
with fellow trades including electricians and waterproofers in order to progress and achieve the desired finish.
Finally, the devil is always in the details, as the saying goes. The high level of detail in the stonework at Lorient required the individual shaping of stone by hammers to give it a natural, organic finish. No grinders were
used shaping the stone—only hammers and stonemasonry tools. Special care was needed when keypads and switches had to be mounted to the stone, as these selected stones had to be meticulously prepared and dressed.
Throughout the project, Aspen Stone Construction’s team of stonemasons executed each area with precision and flair.
Beachfront masterpiece
Established in 1967, BBN Constructions is an award-winning company that has stood the test of time. The company is built upon a solid foundation of core values that has seen its reputation flourish for over 50 years.
BBN Constructions has a rich history of constructing unique properties that deliver on luxury, comfort, and location.
EAST 153 apartments located at Moffat Beach on the Sunshine Coast is the company’s most recently completed masterpiece, awarded the winner of the 2024 Master Builders Sunshine Coast Construction award category for Residential Building (high-rise over 3 storeys) up to $20 million.
EAST 153 apartments is truly a gem that brings together the best of coastal living and modern amenities.
This luxury beachfront residential project offers high-quality finishes and workmanship with unmatched lifestyle opportunity for residents seeking a unique blend of beach tranquillity and urban comfort.
EAST 153 Apartments comprises ten exclusive
apartments, each carefully designed to offer breathtaking ocean views, modern aesthetics, and unparalleled luxury.
The complex boasts a seamless blend of architectural elegance and contemporary luxury, with each apartment offering expansive living spaces, modern open-plan design, and generous balconies that are perfect for enjoying the stunning beachfront views.
These homes have been built with luxury finishes and close attention to detail, creating
an elegant living space that complements such a sought-after beachfront location. BBN Constructions’ goal is to remain a respected member of the building industry through continuous evaluation and improvement.
The BBN team, along with its clients, was thrilled to have won the award category for Residential Building (high-rise over 3 storeys) up to $20 million, and thanks Master Builders Queensland and everyone involved in the success of this project.
Natural beauty in Noosa
St Andrews Constructions is a family-owned and operated business based in Noosa on the Sunshine Coast. With more than 30 years of experience, the company is known for its highquality workmanship, integrity and solid work ethic. The team specialises in custom built homes, renovations, commercial and industrial refurbishments and developments.
St Andrews Constructions was recognised by Master Builders Queensland through a Judges Commendation for its Sjøhavn House project on the Noosa River.
Sjøhavn House is a family home with a true connection to the surrounding natural landscape. The simple, minimalist palette of materials and construction methods creates a sense of cohesiveness and naturality while strengthening the seamless connection between the internal and external spaces of this home. The open spaces of the home speak volumes, creating overall functionality and connection through the core living areas, while the use of landscaping and detailed screens lend seclusion and solitude to the more private areas of the home.
The use of raw and natural materials brings to life the predominantly concrete structure of the home by incorporating the use of textured Oregon pine timber to the off-form concrete walls, providing more intricate details and a sense of natural beauty.
Although initially appearing open and grand, the home also allows for privacy and retreat when necessary. The centralised double-height void creates a visual connection through the two-storey home, showcasing the connection to the ground plane that continues along to the river edge. Nonetheless, this primary, open internal void is surrounded by smaller, more intimate spaces above, allowing areas to retreat and find solitude.
The composition of glazing suites throughout the house draws light and life into the spaces. The grand, sliding pocket door creates simplicity and opens the entertaining area to reveal uninterrupted views of the Noosa River. This stunning project highlights the seamless connection between landscape and built form, creating a space that offers openness and privacy in equal measure.
St Andrews Constructions is family owned and operated business based in Noosa. With more than thirty years
experience we are known locally amongst
workmanship, integrity and solid work ethic.
Consecutive wins for talented team
With over 20 years’ experience, when you work with Ultimate Shower Screens, you’re working with experts who understand the needs of your business. The team is made up of Guy Milton (owner) with 25 years of experience in the shower screen industry; Brad Segnit (sales and installation manager) has worked on all major projects since the beginning of the company, and Dean Cathcart (sales) is dedicated to bringing every client’s vision to life.
Ultimate Shower Screens were honoured to take out the award for the Residential Trade Contractor of the Year. This comes as a consecutive win, also being awarded the same title at last year’s Sunshine Coast Awards. Ultimate Shower Screens celebrated and were proudly presented the award at the Twin Waters Resort.
The Carwoola Project was the perfect mix of both design and functionality using stunning but durable products to withstand the harsh coastal environment.
From the 17m mirrored car display wall
through to the grey mirror fronts on the building, along with three internal lift fronts, the finishes were impeccable.
Shower screen panel placement was mindful to complement above skylights. The use of both silver and grey mirrors in the bathrooms, kitchens, and common areas show off the reflections of the waters and adjacent Mooloolaba Wharf Precinct. This beautiful idea can be credited to the owners and
designers’ innovative insights.
Winning this award is a testament to the entire Ultimate Shower Screen team and demonstrates their high level of finishes, design, and workmanship in all projects.
Being based at Warana on the Sunshine Coast, all products are manufactured locally to increase the level of customer satisfaction and ensures they meet building deadlines every time, no matter the size of the project.

Building a coastal gem
Nestled just a stone’s throw from the beach, Bargara Palms emerges as a stunning blend of timeless elegance and contemporary design. This home captures the essence of coastal living while paying homage to architectural traditions, creating a space that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
The journey of creating Bargara Palms was guided by the skilled hands of Dobson Homes, a leading name in residential and commercial construction in Bundaberg and its coastal suburbs. Dobson Homes’ incredible work was recognised with the team winning the BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award, Individual Home from $700,000 up to $850,000, and Best Residential Bathroom in the Master Builders Queensland Housing and Construction Awards 2024.
From the moment you approach Bargara Palms, its distinctive features make an immediate impact. The design integrates gracefully curved walls inside and out, alongside striking archways and a fusion of timber and stone. The home is situated on a north-facing block, perfectly positioned to take full advantage
of the nearby public parkland and beach. For a young family that loves to entertain, it was crucial the design include expansive outdoor living spaces. Inside, the open-plan living area unfolds effortlessly into the outdoor spaces, with an articulated design that offers various seating options to shield from the ever-present south-easterly trade winds.
This thoughtful planning creates a seamless flow between the indoors and outdoors, enhancing the home’s connection with its natural surroundings. The slightly elevated outdoor area, sculpted to follow the site’s contours, features full-width stairs that lead gracefully down to the backyard and pool area, continuing the casual beachside resort theme.
The home’s façade presents a minimalist parapet that contrasts dramatically with the bold texture of feature stone and the geometric patterns of the entry privacy screen. This design choice nods to the seaside architecture of 1970s Australia while maintaining a contemporary edge. At the heart of Bargara Palms is the sunken lounge, crowned by a vaulted ceiling.
This central feature, with its recessed seating, creates a sense of expansive openness that distinguishes the home from even much larger properties. The zero-threshold entry, flanked by a curved stone wall and a grand timber door, sets the tone for the home’s recurring themes of curves and natural materials.
Bargara Palms stands as a testament to the artistry and dedication of Dobson Homes. It is a home that combines elegance with functionality, tradition with innovation, and a deep connection to its coastal surroundings.
Whether envisioning a two-storey residence, a single-level home, a bathroom renovation, or a major extension, Dobson Homes is the builder of choice in Bundaberg. They believe that a home should be a true reflection of personal style, and their close-knit approach ensures a deep understanding of each client’s vision. With an unwavering commitment to quality and a passion for exceptional craftsmanship, Dobson Homes treats every project with the same care as if it were their own.
