10 BUILDING AUSTRALIA 2014
WELCOME
Master Builders National Excellence Awards recognise the finest from the building and con-
struction industry and 2014 is no exception with a showcase of the highest quality achieved
by the industry’s best and brightest.Winners of Australia’s most prestigious building industry and construction awards are recog-
nised for projects that are testament to their commitment to excellence.The National Excellence Awards are drawn from the winners of eight preceding state and
territory awards making national winners the best of the best who set the benchmark for the
industry nationwide.Winning projects exemplify inspiration and adherence to the highest standards, bringing to
life the vision of clients.They have conquered challenging locations and conditions, achieved bold and rigorous sus-
tainability and workplace safety targets, built homes for people of all abilities and families of
all shapes and sizes and provided lifestyle and liveable housing to fulfil the diverse housing
needs of everyday Australians.This year’s winning projects and their fellow national finalists prove that the technical exper-
tise and innovation of Master Builders can overcome the seemingly impossible.Grand visions were also achieved in our built environment with public and private buildings
creating more liveable and connected communities.The opportunity to construct something special that will compel admiration and appreciation
from generations to come is a powerful motivator of those who enter Master Builders’ National
Excellence Awards.It is therefore very pleasing to see so many young people appearing in the 2014 awards,
not only in the National Apprentice of the Year and National Young Builder of the Year, but
also those who excelled in their contributions to award winning teams that produced other
nationally significant projects.They can draw not only on the inspiration of outstanding building and construction projects
but on the wealth of knowledge of the national judges who spent countless hours selecting
winners from the 5000 best projects built by Master Builders from around Australia whose
excellence underpins the calibre of the National Excellence Awards.The quality of this year’s finalists cannot fail to inspire confidence for our clients that Master
Builders deliver the highest quality product for the best value.President’s Foreword
