The exceptional redevelopment of Adelaide Oval has won more plaudits, headlining Master Builders SA’s Building Excellence Awards for 2015. Lendlease won Excellence in a Commercial/Industrial Building over $100 million for the project and South Australia’s Bianco Precast won Excellence in Concrete and Concrete Finishing for its “world class” finish.
The revitalisation of Adelaide was also recognised in the awards, with the exceptional finishes for rooftop bar 2KW delivered by Cook Building and Development in difficult construction conditions garnering the award for Excellence in a Commercial/Industry Building $2 million to $5 million, and Schiavello Construction’s fit out of the Sean’s Kitchen winning the award for Excellence in a Commercial Refurbishment/Redevelopment up to $5 million.
South Australia’s expertise in civil construction was also at the fore, delivering an award for Excellence in Civil/Engineering Construction to Unique Urban Built for its work on the Adelaide Aquatic Centre Upgrade, while specialist contractor Envirogen Industrial Services won an award for Excellence in Services for its excavation work around existing services and without stopping traffic flow while working on the Southern Expressway Duplication.
Metricon Homes was named Display Home Builder of the Year, with judges noting the excellent detailing and care taken with clients in display homes for the $350,000 to $500,000 category and those more than $500,000.
The collaborative approach and “stunning master-build” by Alan Sheppard Constructions also delivered to the firm the title of Contract Home Builder of the Year. Master Builders SA Chief Executive Officer John Stokes said the quality of residential, industrial and commercial building in this year’s awards were a testament to the term “master builder”.
“Every one of these award winners and commendations show the skills, knowledge and craftsmanship of the builders behind the project,” he said.
“Whether it’s a bar, a stadium or someone’s home, the professionalism shown in every entry is a testament to the calibre of building and construction here in South Australia.”
The annual awards, announced Friday 14 August at the Adelaide Convention Centre with almost 1000 guests, revealed 2015’s headline winners:
Master Builder of the Year – Specialist Contract SA Construct
Master Builder of the Year – Display Home Builder Metricon Homes
Master Builder of the Year – Contract Home Builder Alan Sheppard Constructions

Mr Stokes said the award winners had excelled in a field filled with a greater variety of entrants than ever before.
“We limited the number of entries per category this year and saw the success of that: entries from some of South Australia’s best boutique builders and specialist contractors that challenged everyone to do better,” he said.
“This shows the true excellence of South Australia’s Master Builders.”
