2024 Master Builders and Asset Construction Hire Excellence Awards Commercial Buildings

Kora, along with Architects Ring & Associates, have delivered a stunning space with the Pialligo Function Centre, a space that embraces the natural beauty of the Truffle Farm setting.  Incorporating natural timbers, locally sourced Pialligo stone and an abundance of natural light, the final product is an outstanding space that blends beautifully with the natural environment, providing a dining and function room with stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

The timber clad beams and ceiling provide a warmth to the space, and as a hero element required careful craftmanship in installation and handling. The extensive glazing provides a connection to the exterior and is designed to allow the building to open up and close with ease to provide an adaptable and comfortable space. To achieve this, bi-folding systems were integrated and carefully designed to align with the architectural intent of theg structure. The expansive roof is both striking and clean in its final form, effectively concealing the drainage and steelwork.

The team at FDC have delivered an outstanding result with the Collegians’ Centre at Radford College. The multi-function facility features three state-of-the-art basketball and netball courts, changeroom amenities, meeting and AV rooms, staff offices, storage spaces, and retractable and fixed bleacher seating. The adjoining Cricket Centre boasts eight full-size training pitches, group training areas, meeting rooms, and storage spaces. The project mirrors the quality synonymous with FDC, delivering a premium facility.

This multi-function facility seamlessly blends sports, collegiate events, private functions, and educational activities for a truly modern and versatile asset that will be enjoyed by students and staff for many years to come.

Construction Control have delivered an excellent addition to Marist College Canberra with the unique multi-purpose Veritas Building. Comprising three storeys and spanning 4,600 square metres, the building is designed to optimise natural light and minimise solar heat gain. The façade blends performance with modern architecture, while inside versatile spaces abound to accommodate diverse academic disciplines, from science to performing arts.

Overall, the Veritas building is a powerful testament to the Construction Control team’s quality construction and thoughtful design.

The team from Icon Construction are behind the Gungahlin region’s brand-new Shirley Smith High School. Built to respond to rapid growth in the area, the school features modern and dynamic learning spaces that harness natural light.

The Icon team have delivered a school that accommodates diverse learning styles while embracing environmentally conscious design and construction practices. As part of the project, improvements were also made to roads, pathways, and public transport options, to ensure easy and safe access for students and families.

Thoughtful landscaping and outdoor amenities are the finishing touches on this project, with native plantings and inviting communal spaces creating a harmonious connection between the school and its natural surroundings.
