THE BUILDERS CHOICE from the team

TEAM page
he March 2021 issue of The Builders Choice Magazine again offers a stimulating, authoritative and noteworthy package of articles. In an article on the power of energy efficient windows, we explain how windows typically represent less than 10 per cent of the surface area of a home, yet they can realistically contribute as much as 49 per cent of the heat lost during winter and as much as 87 per cent of the heat gained during summer. This means that homes with ordinary windows use up to 60 per cent more energy to heat and cool their home than necessary. Big River Group provides solutions to al fresco living with creative outdoor rooms to provide an additional entertainment space as well as a fun environment for children to play safely. Marrying the indoors and out with clever decking, whether it be a smaller side deck, pool decking or a big, classic back verandah, provides a seamless transition between these two spaces. If you plan it right, this new space will become the favourite area for family and friends to reconnect. Next year the Boyce family, which has been in the glass and glazing industry for four generations, will be celebrating a century of involvement in all aspects of the industry including traditional
stained glass, glass and glazing, and windscreen and body glass. Thirty of those years have been in Western Australia providing complete general glass, glazing and traditional leadlight services. We look at the products and services Boyce Western Glass provide for the industry in Western Australia. Craft breweries are very much in vogue at the moment with brewing establishments springing up throughout Western Australia, varying in size and consumer popularity. Setting up a brewery from scratch, particularly a larger one, is not something anyone would be likely to embark upon without substantial market research and a solid faith in their vision. Our article describes the recently-opened Shelter Brewing Company in Busselton. A recent project in Bremer Bay by Evoke Living Homes, which takes advantage of the desirable location and the site’s attractive views, is also noteworthy due to the fact it is a modular construction. Evoke Living Homes is one of the first residential modular companies to embark on a two-storey build in Western Australia, providing a genuine turning point in modular construction.
