Award Win Announcement: Celebrating Excellence in Heritage Restoration
We are incredibly proud to announce that we have been awarded the 2025 Master Builder – Commercial or Public Sector of the Year Project Award.
This recognition marks a significant achievement for our team and highlights the success of a truly remarkable project — the major refurbishment of a disused 1930s cinema, now transformed into a vibrant, multi-purpose cultural venue.
The project brought new life to a historic building, carefully balancing restoration with modern functionality. The venue now features a diverse range of spaces, including a 4,000-seat auditorium, an ornate ballroom, a cabaret bar, and a selection of intimate private areas — all thoughtfully restored to reflect the theatre’s original character.
This was not without its challenges. The extensive works required the removal and replacement of 90% of the existing floor structure, all while preserving the building’s core integrity. Through exceptional craftsmanship, innovative technical problem-solving, and strong collaboration with stakeholders, the team delivered an outstanding result.
The finished venue stands as a beautifully restored landmark — honouring its heritage while creating a dynamic space for the community’s cultural future.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Federation of Master Builders for this prestigious award, and to everyone involved in bringing this ambitious project to life. Your dedication and expertise made this achievement possible.
We also thank our clients, partners, and the wider community for their continued support.
