ENDURO BUILDERS
Project: ‘Springlake’ – Mount Barker
This tested and certified Passive House by Enduro Builders demonstrated outstanding innovation in enviromental solutions and sustainable building practices. Various technologies were utilised with a sharp focus on low energy usage and attention to construction details. The home was pre-fabricated in a factory using 3-D modelling so the quality could be controlled. It has been wrapped in vapour permeable membrane on external walls and roof, and an internal intelligent air barrier to protect insulation and restrict internal moisture entering the building envelope. Enduro Builders are leading the way in Passive House building in South Australia and should be proud of their achievements on this build.

MILNE PROJECTS
Project: Adelaide
Fergus Milne (a former MBA apprentice) has completed a very complex project that would have been difficult to conceive and even harder to deliver. On a tight city site with a heritage-listed house as a starting point, Milne Projects has done a truly amazing job. Project highlights included the renovation of an existing 1860’s heritage house in poor condition, construction of a solid three-metre high stone wall along two boundaries, construction of an exceptional two storey architectural addition to the heritage house, major underground works including a tunnel, wine cellar, rumpus room connecting with the free standing garage, a two-car lift from the garage to the cellar, and built a two-bedroom apartment / studio over the garage. The clients were delighted and Milne Projects is justifiably proud of what has been achieved.

KLEMM HOMES
Project: Millswood
Klemm Homes have delivered a very attractive Hampton’s style rear addition including a double garage and separate pool room. The project was completed ahead of schedule, depsite live-in clients and being built at the height of the COVID pandemic. All finishes were top quality despite a tight budget. Carpentry was exceptional and the stone fireplace and the retractable stacker doors were equally impressive. Pitched cathedral ceilings with exposed rafters and timber ceilings were a real focal point of the living area, continuing through to the alfresco area. Understandably, the clients are overjoyed with the result and Klemm Homes have delivered again.
