The building industry was challenged in 2020 in a way it has never been before.
Just as society faced up to the Covid-19 pandemic Master Builders members excelled in the face of adversity.
Throughout the Covid-19 shutdowns and restrictions of 2020 and now again in 2021 the building and construction industry kept on working, meeting social distancing and hygiene requirements to ensure that projects were delivered on time and essential maintenance services were available to the community.
Master Builders Sunshine Coast regional manager Nicola Scott has commended members in the way they faced up to adversity during the past 12 months and the way they are continuing to do so.
The spirit of determination and the exceptional quality of workmanship our Master Builders are renowned for has provided the inspiration for our 2021 Housing and Construction Awards program theme – Built To Rise Above.
With awards being made in more then 50 categories across both residential and commercial sectors, we encourage everyone to enter.
“Whether an apprentice, trade contracts, small family business or one of the big names in our industry.
“This is the chance for our members to put the spotlight on their hard work and see it celebrated.
These awards celebrate and recognise the work of the entire spectrum of the industry with awards for Women in Building, as well as energy efficiency, kitchens, bathrooms, swimming pools and a myriad of categories renovations, new homes and commercial categories of all values.Last year the Sunshine Coast-Gympie area took out the National House of the Year (Hutchinson Builders) and Specialist Trade Contractor award (C2 Projects) for a building at Sunshine Beach.
