Master Builders executive director Brian Welch said: “The winning Concept Design and Construction project has set new benchmarks for quality, comfort and style on Mt Buller. Consisting of three cutting edge residences, these four and five bedroom homes provide luxury and practical design in a beautiful setting,” Welch said
Praising Hedger Constructions for their award winning home in Thornton, Welch said the project used sustainable and practical design to create a comfortable and efficient space.
“This home features many sustainable features and was designed in a compartmental fashion to allow for clearly designated zones. With excellent thermal qualities through a number of initiatives, this home is both stylish and energy efficient,” he said.
He also praised James Kleverlaan for winning the Young Builder of the Year award. This is the first time this award has been given.
“James was originally a bricklayer until a serious injury. He has overcome many obstacles to be where he is today and has been described as having impeccable attention to detail. He is obviously passionate about his chosen field and is a well deserving winner of our inaugural Young Builder of the Year award.”
