Welcome from Master Builders Queensland
It is with great honour that I welcome you to the 2018 winners’ magazine
WHEN I think back over the years of Master Builders Housing & Construction award ceremonies, I see smiling, excited faces and champagne glasses clinking as success and hard work is celebrated.
The steel caps and hi-vis are stowed away, the gala gowns and dinner coats dusted, shoes shined and the daily grind put on hold for a night of celebration.
Colleagues, contractors and connections come together as we celebrate those at the forefront of building innovation and quality craftsmanship.
Master Builders Housing & Construction Awards cater for entrants ranging from apprentices to trade contractors and small family businesses, to the biggest names in the building and construction industry.
The calibre of entries in this year’s awards program has been second to none and highlights the exceptional skills and craftsmanship of Downs & Western Master Builders.
Over the past few months, our panel of judges have attended each entrant’s property and made a thorough assessment against a list of strict criteria.
This includes quality of workmanship, degree of construction difficultly, external appeal, siting and aspect, along with amenities and aesthetics.
The judges then returned to our Toowoomba headquarters to deliberate. Over a period of painstaking days, they compiled a list of finalists and, fter much passionate discussion and sometimes, debate, one winner was selected for each category.
Across the board, the feedback from our judges has noted the high calibre of entrants in the Downs & Western region and I thank those builders for their stellar work in making our judges’ job a difficult one.
Each of our entrants has put their business, product and workmanship under scrutiny as part of an extremely competitive process. Their work, whether a winner this year or not, is a credit to the unwavering quality and craftsmanship of a Master Builder.
