Master Builders Victoria is excited to announce the 2021 Master Builders Victoria North West Regional Building Awards Commercial Winner and showcase the exceptional achievements of our Commercial Regional Master Builders Members. 

The North West Regional Commercial Builder of the Year was awarded to Bourke Builders for the Colbinabbin Country Hotel project. 

Bourke Builders also took out the Excellence in Construction of Commercial Buildings under $1M award for this exciting project.

Master Builders Victoria CEO Rebecca Casson congratulated Bourke Builders on their well-deserved success. 

She said the goal of the Colbinabbin Country Hotel project was to keep the beautiful building alive for another 100 plus years, while bringing it into the modern era.  

“Bourke Builders brought the building back to life by re-using the lovely old red bricks and blasting the old-cracked render off the wall to bring back character plus structural strength,” Ms Casson said.

“The steel beam was then painted black, with the ceiling and walls painted in bright colours to keep light inside the building.

“A wonderful natural timber of redgum was used as the bar top and handcrafted to bring life and character to its natural beauty.

“I congratulate Bourke Builders on their award and for giving this beautiful building a new lease of life.”

The overall winning project will now represent its region and will be in the running for the 2021 Regional Commercial Builder of the Year award at this year’s Master Builders Victoria Excellence in Construction Awards.
