Master Builders Queensland

@ashley_cooper_construction won the Queensland 2025 Retail Facilities over $5 million Award for for Carina Leagues Club Redevelopment in Brisbane at the Housing & Construction Awards in October. The Carina Leagues Club Renovation Project was a comprehensive three-stage construction process that aimed to enhance the club’s facilities and provide a more modern, functional, and high-end experience for its members. The project included major works to the bistro, gaming room, and the creation of a new function space. With a commitment to upgrading the facilities while maintaining minimal disruption to the club's operations, the renovation aimed to balance quality, aesthetics, and functionality. The renovation was divided into three stages: Bistro Renovation, Gaming Room Renovation, and Construction of New Function Space. The client demanded a high level of finish throughout the renovation, which posed an additional challenge. Maintaining a balance between meeting these aesthetic and quality expectations while staying within budget and timeframe constraints was key to the project’s success. The project team worked closely with the client to ensure that every detail, from materials to finishes, was executed to the highest standard. #MasterBuildersAwards #AwardWinningBuilder #AshleyCooperConstruction #CarinaLeaguesClub

The incredible Birdwood House by @mcd_construction , located in Brisbane, won both the Individual Home from $5 million up to $10 million and Best Use of Sloping Sites Awards at the Housing & Construction Awards in October. Birdwood House boasts a range of pioneering construction and design techniques. The foundation required 7m deep piling into rock on the steep terrain to support a suspended structure, an engineering feat that pushed the boundaries of conventional homebuilding. The curved glass installations underwent a specialised heat-soaking process to meet stringent Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) requirements, ensuring resilience against environmental threats. The interior finishes are equally ground-breaking, including an exquisite 12-tonne single slab of South Australian black granite, meticulously sculpted into a kitchen island and sink, demonstrating unparalleled artistry and craftsmanship. #MasterBuildersAwards #AwardWinningBuilder #MCDConstructions #BespokeHomes #Brisbane

@besix_watpac won the Queensland 2025 Health Facilities over $20 million Award for Gold Coast University Hospital - Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit (SMHRU) at the Housing & Construction Awards in October. The SMHRU is a purpose-designed, 40-bed facility that represents a first-of-its-kind development on the Gold Coast. This two-storey building includes a 27-metre glazed linkway that connects directly to the existing Mental Health (F Block) building, ensuring seamless integration with the broader hospital infrastructure. This technically complex facility was delivered three months ahead of schedule and within budget, while meeting stringent operational and safety requirements. The project displayed innovation in materials, design, and construction techniques. A standout example was the team’s proposed alternate slab sequence, which enabled the roof to be installed at the earliest possible stage. This strategic adjustment significantly reduced the risk of weather-related delays and showcased the team’s proactive approach to construction sequencing. #MasterBuildersAwards #AwardWinningBuilder #BESIXWatpac #GoldCoast #Queensland
