Statement by Mr Wilhelm Harnisch, Chief Executive Officer

Master Builders Australia, in conjunction with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing, announced the 2008 winners at Master Builders' National Excellence in Building and Construction Awards at a gala dinner in Parliament House in Canberra on 14 November.

Mr Wilhelm Harnisch, Master Builders Australia's Chief Executive said, "Australia's builders are continuing to design and build appropriate new lifestyle residences for Australia's seniors."

Mr Harnisch said "Each year the National Lifestyle Housing for Seniors Awards attract nominations from all over Australia. Builders are responding to the special needs of seniors by engaging them in selecting and building innovative residences that incorporate key features that match their very special housing needs."

The 2008 winners are as follow:

BSR Constructions Pty Ltd, Beachmere Sands, Queensland

Set in beautifully landscaped gardens, Beachmere Sands villas are available in 2 bedroom and 3-bedroom combinations. All have 5-star finishes and generous living spaces. The villas have been designed to take account of the needs of older residents and include features such as handrails, lever taps, level entry points, exterior lighting and shaded areas. The wide doors and showers are wheelchair friendly. BSR Constructions has worked to build a community that shares interests and the changing needs of the older person.

Commercial & General Pty Ltd, The Ashbrook, South Australia

This project comprises 35 two bedroom apartments in Stage 1, with Stage 2 currently nearing the end of construction, comprising 38 apartments. The building includes a general use community centre, function room, theatre, and restaurant. The roof garden has views to the city and mountains.

All of the various stages of development were thoughtfully integrated and the project was extremely well managed.
