What a year so far!
Earlier this year some of the boys enjoyed being involved with a great initiative RIDE AROUND THE LAKE - "Ride Around the Lake is Illawarra’s own recreational Cycle for Charity. The ride takes place in May each year... The ride is about ‘breaking the cycle’ of youth at risk of homelessness, by raising awareness and funds for Lighthouse Youth Initiative." The boys rode the 40km circuit around Lake Illawarra and the surrounding suburbs.
Well done Team Aspire...Aaron, Jake & Jeremy.
In other news... we recently submitted our Balgownie Project into the South East Regional Master Builders Association Awards for 2016. Our boy Aaron did an amazing job running this project for Team Aspire and the end product was awesome. Thanks to Sarah over at Birdblack Design for bringing us in on this project.
We took a nice little road trip down to Ulladulla where the gala night was held in Ulladulla and we memorable night...especially since we picked up the win for the Balgownie project!! Well done Aaron and the boys who worked on this project. This is our 5th consecutive year of award winning for Aspire Constructions.
We've also submitted this project into the NSW Master Builder Association awards which the gala night will be held at The Star Casino in August. Good luck to the team for hopefully a double win this year!
Works have commenced on our project over at Blakehurst on the water. This is going to be one stunning home.

On August 29th 2015 the team joined many talented builders from around the state as we all descended upon The Star Casino precinct for the annual 2015 Master Builders of NSW Assoc Gala night.
Congratulations to the team as we cleaned up again this year! Taking home both awards for the 2 projects we submitted. Our MOSMAN project for upto $150,000 additions/extensions/renovations and our ALEXANDRIA project for $450,000 to $550,000 additions/extensions/renovations. What a great achievement from all our team as we have now won awards consecutively 4 years in a row! Well done Team. Our terrace house project in Alexandria was handed over back in December 2014 and we finally have the winning shots of this project. We're looking forward to see how we do with this submission into the NSW Master Builders Association awards for 2015. Judging is to take place between May and July and the Gala night will be held later on in the year. Good luck to our team - it was a difficult project with all the intricacies involved, which made it all the more rewarding when we handed over the keys to the ecstatic clients Paul & Monique! The project also featured in the 2 April 2015 issue of the DOMAIN of The Sun herald. Head on over to portfolio to check out the project write up and full set of project images. Many thanks to Paul & Mon for being awesome clients to with work and to the architect Tony Beattie of Beattie Co. Architecture for creating an amazing project to partner together on. We are proud to showcase our 2 projects that we will be submitting this year for the 2015 NSW Master Builders Association awards. Here's hoping for another double win! Our Alexandria project was a terrace home renovation and addition of a round studio room out back...affectionately dubbed "the man cave". This project had many obstacles to overcome including a tree protection zone and pre-existing flooding issue. Our team did exceedingly well. We are very proud of the finished project and so are the clients. A full write up of this project including photo's can be found here. Our Mosman project whilst smaller in size in terms of work - still proved to be tricky. The clients purchased this beautiful home in the leafy suburb of Mosman, yet wanted to add there personal touch. Our team had to carefully renovate a kitchen, bathrooms, new timber flooring, rectify defects and renovate the pool. All this work had to be completed whilst protecting the house! We had to secure the rest of the house at each stage from dust and damage using our carefully planned Protection Management System. In the end it was all worth it as this beautiful house turned into the dream home the clients wanted. The full write up and photo's of this project can be found here. Judging of both projects will take place sometime between now and July. We wish our team all the best!
Aspire Constructions winning project at WHALE BEACH has just been nominated for a NATIONAL Master Builders Award! The Gala night will be held at Parliament House in Canberra in November, hosting the best of the best builders from around the nation. PROJECT DETAILS: Located in a beautiful location opposite WHALE BEACH in the northern beaches of Sydney, Aspire Constructions was engaged for remedial building works to the existing balcony and internal renovations of a holiday home. The existing balcony had extensive waterproofing issues left degenerating over many years. Aspire Constructions was initially engaged by the client to rectify this major issue. Upon investigation we realized that there was no quick fix to the problem and found out that other builders had in the past attempted to fix the issues, with no long term avail. One of the main issues with the existing waterproofing was the fact that the external balcony was level and in some places higher than that of the internal floor level. We carefully planned and designed a solution for the problem along with the help of a structural engineer, our waterproofing expert and the "Guide to External Waterproofing: Balcony Decks MBA 2009 Edition" To deal with the Balcony floor level being too high we completely demolished the balcony which was a challenge as we had to hold and support two levels above and maintain a waterproof site the whole time. We re-built the new balcony to incorporate our custom designed waterproofing and drainage system and achieved a water tight job the entire throughout the entire construction phase and on completion. The job also involved a new timber railing and replacement of all Sliding doors, New kitchen, New timber floors, and painting of the complete home inside and out. Site Access was a critical issue due to the site being on a steep hill. This meant that all materials were taken up and down by either a small inclinator or an electric rope hoist from street level. It is an absolute honor for our team just to even be nominated for a national award. Jake and Aaron worked hard on this project to deliver an above and beyond build - working with the limited access, and it looks like their hard work has paid off. Well done boys and all the best for hopefully another win in November. A DOUBLE win for the Aspire Constructions Team! Taking out the Master Builders Association of NSW 2014 Awards for;
Attic Conversion - upto $200,000 | (Project : Summer Hill) House Additions / Alterations / Renovations - $100,000 - $150,000 | (Project : Whale Beach) A great night was had by all - we were able to celebrate in style and class as the Master Builders Association of NSW put on an amazing gala night for all finalists and winners.
