Master Builders Victoria is excited to announce the 2021 Master Builders Victoria North East Regional Residential Builder of the Year and showcase the excellent achievements of our residential Regional Master Builders Members. 

The North East Regional Residential Builder of the Year was awarded to Scott James Builder for its East Albury project.

Master Builders Victoria CEO Rebecca Casson congratulated Scott James Builder on their well-deserved achievement. 

Ms Casson said the East House offered a rare opportunity for a builder in a regional centre to collaborate with one of Australia's leading architects - Kerstin Thompson Architects - on a home where size was not the driver but rather craftmanship, quality, innovation, and sustainability.

“Sited in an established neighborhood, the compact home manages to be a spatial marvel, packed with surprise and features,” she said.

“Built over two levels, there are two bedrooms with ensuites, a study and multiple living spaces.

“There's no plasterboard to be seen, having been shunned for more robust, textured, and warmer materials.

“A seriously impressive home, that maximises every inch and sits quietly and respectfully in its surroundings.

“An exercise in the bespoke and making difficult things look simple.”
