2019 Master Builders Awards                                                        

We recently had the honour of attending the 2019 Master Builders Gold Coast Housing & Construction Awards. It was a fantastic night, made even better by taking out an award! We were thrilled to win the award for Best Individual Home: $900k – $1.25million! This award was received for our recently completed ‘yourtown Tallebudgera Prize Home’ project. 

yourtown are a nationwide charity organisation that offers programs & services to assist young people in need. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to work with a company that gives so much back to the community.

The creative masterminds behind the design of this bespoke home are the highly esteemed MRA Design, a Sunshine Coast based architectural firm. With a combination of high-end architectural features such as free form stone cladded walls, 3m+ ceilings, blackbutt timber cladding & an infinity pool, the ‘yourtown Tallebudgera Prize Home’ project certainly is a luxurious property in our eyes, and to those who were lucky enough to view it before it was raffled off in January this year.

We are so thrilled with the end product of this high-end property and couldn’t be happier with the outcome of winning an award at the Master Builders Housing & Constructions Awards Ceremony!

Is Spanish Revival Architecture making a comeback?

What’s not to love about Spanish Revival Architecture? Curves & arches, artisan tiles, white render, Teracotta, timber frames & furniture, balconies & courtyards are all beautiful elements that complete this bespoke artisan look. For months, I have been in awe of the extremely talented TEd’A Arquitectes and their internationally renowned project Can Picafort, a once residential building transformed into bespoke, artisanal holiday apartments on the seafront of Mallorca, Spain. The design of this building, echoes many of the elements of the Spanish Revival in all its humble beauty. Intricate beauty and detail ensues in every corner of Can Picafort.

TEd’A Arquitectes ingeniously selected a monochromatic palette using terracotta hues to create a sense of calm and tranquility for holiday makers to unwind and enjoy the fresh sea breeze. These earthy tones accompanied with timber doors, windows and furniture create a further sense of warmth and balance throughout. The different plays on textures & patterns used with these earthy tones creates such visual appeal, one cannot help but feel drawn to these spaces.

As a Gold Coast Building & Interior Design Company we are seeing growing trends in design that celebrate, and draw inspiration from some of these elements of Spanish Revival architecture. Especially in the use of the terracotta colour in tiles, ceramics, textiles and artwork.  This earthy palette is gaining great momentum and is certainly a trend we hope to see more of. There is something about this earthy palette that promotes a sense of being grounded and connected to the environment around us. Many more restaurant and bars on the Gold Coast are embracing the natural curves and arches from the Spanish Revival forming both the exterior & interiors designs. You only have to look at the recently built Hyde Paradisobar in Surfers Paradise to see the curved arches, terracotta hues in the furnishes and tiles as well as timber furniture.  

We would love to know what your thoughts are on Spanish Revival Architecture and if you think it is making a comeback. Also, If you love this design and are looking to build a new luxury home on the Gold Coast, you can click on our ‘Contact Us’ link for more info.

As an Interior Designer working for a high-end luxury builder on the Gold Coast, I am constantly putting mood boards & ��flatlays’ together for clients to help them visualize all the working elements of any particular design aspect of the build. The flatlay image above highlights the beginning of my process as Interior Designer in creating a visual story of what the project will look like upon completion.

Kitchens and Bathrooms are the parts of the home where the biggest impact can be made in terms of Interior Design and it is almost certain that I find myself spending a significant amount of time before & during the process of the build working to pull all the layers & textures together in the form of a moodboards or ‘flatlays’ for clients. My greatest joy when it comes to my job is seeing the faces of our clients at the end of the build when the moodboard has transformed into reality.

Over the past few years, our team at Davey Constructions has completed a number of luxury bathrooms & kitchens on the Gold Coast from Broadbeach Waters right through to Tallebudgera Valley. The pics above showcase some of our latest bathrooms & kitchens.

You can head over to our website to see more details and images of these projects and others.

With the recent completion of our Hamptons Project in Burleigh Heads we feel grateful for the opportunity to work with such wonderful clients who truly appreciate their new home and absolutely love the new version of their ‘beach shack’.

This build took the Davey Constructions team 6 months from start to finish, which included a new pool, new front fence and all hard and soft landscaping.

We recently had some had some professional photos taken by Rix Ryan photography which really showcase the attention to detail in all the finishes throughout the home. We are so thrilled with the outcome & the results speak for themselves!!

We would like to take this opportunity to reflect upon the working year and also to be grateful for the experiences we have had along the way. Over the past 12 months we have worked with some amazing clients and also built some beautiful homes. To date this year we have built a set of duplexes in Miami and a Hamptons style home in Burleigh. As well as  these 2 big projects, we are currently working on another Hamptons renovation in Burleigh and  2 new builds in Broadbeach Waters. When we put into perspective what we have accomplished this year and the direction in which we are moving forward, we feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to all of our employees, subcontractors, suppliers, clients, family and friends who have supported us along the journey in 2017. We recognize that without each and everyone of you, we wouldn’t be able to persue our own dream….which is of course building and interior design.  

The Davey Constructions Team will all be taking a well deserved break and finishing up on Friday the 22nd of December. We will be returning back to work on the 15th January 2018 ready for yet another very exciting year ahead!!

We wish you all a very safe, relaxing and restorative Christmas break with your families and look forward to working in partnership with you again in the new year.

What a couple of months it has been for the team at Davey Constructions. Our new build in Broadbeach Waters is really taking shape with the scaffold about to go up so external cladding can get underway. We have also just completed our second project for the year and our clients are just thrilled with their new home.

 In March this year we began demolition on our Hampton’s renovation in Burleigh Heads. Over the coming months we saw this modest little beach shack transform into the talk of the street, quite literally.

 Now that our clients are settled into their new home, we look forward to taking some professional pictures in the coming month. Here is a little snapshot of the project process over the past 6 months.

Have a lovely week,

The Davey Constructions Team.

Last month saw the completion of our duplexes in Miami. This project was our first multi-dwelling build and was a huge success! In just 6 short months, the Davey Constructions Team, along with our wonderful trades & suppliers, managed to demolish the existing home and build 2 side by side duplexes on the Gold Coast Highway, Miami. The end result….a luxury, contemporary home filled with open, inviting living spaces which create a sense of warmth and sophistication.

 Here’s what our lovely clients, Tina & Kerry Wylde had to say about their experience building with Davey Constructions.  “ As I sit on the deck of the long awaited duplex, I am full of gratidue to all who made it a reality for us. A big thank you to Sarah & Jared from Davey Constructions who made it happen and built us a fantastic duplex! They put up with our indecisiveness, fussiness always with a smile. I highly recommend them if anyone needs a great builder.” We are always so appreciative for the wonderful feedback we receive for our clients both past & present.

The pictures above show the building process from start to finish. If you are looking for a builder to build your dream home or duplexes give us a call today on 0413454054!

Have a wonderful week!

Over the past few years there has been a growing trend on the Hamptons style home. As I meander through the streets of our suburb, Burleigh Heads, I tend to find at least a home or 2 in each street which has a real Hampton's feel to it. I am personally a fan of this style when done well, and I can openly say that our own family home certainly reflects elements of a Hamptons home, with its own little quirky twists of course!! So what are some of the key features to use when trying to emulate a Hampton's style home you might ask? White window trims & doors, timber cladding, shingle roof (in dark colour), high ceilings throughout and shaker style cabinetry (Hampton's profile doors) are just some of the key elements that can transform an ordinary home into a Hampton's one. One of our current projects in Burleigh is a large scale Hampton's renovation and it has been the talk of the street ever since we started construction. The timber cladding, high raked ceilings and shaker style cabinetry are the real heroes of the home. As shown in our progress pics, you can see that the home is certainly starting to take shape & is going to be absolutely stunning when completed. Have a great month! The Davey Constructions Team 😊

It has been another busy month for the Davey Constructions team with 3 projects now on the go. Our latest project is a new luxury build Broadbeach Waters. It has just been demolished, and the slab is set to be poured within a few weeks. This modern home, as shown in the 3d render above has been designed by Jayson Pate, who is a highly esteemed architect on the Gold Coast. We are very excited to be a part of this project and look forward to seeing it evolve over the coming months.

Our Hamptons renovation in Burleigh Heads is well underway now. Windows, doors & roof have been installed, house is nearly wrapped and ready for external cladding. As shown in the picture above, there are a number of spaces in the home that have a high pitched roof with vj panelling which really makes them an architectural feature. The high pitch also helps to create a greater sense of space & light throughout.

The Miami Duplex project is really only a matter of weeks before practical completion. Tiling is taking place in all the wet areas throughout both duplexes, and cabinetry install will be complete by early this month. Internal painting, flooring install, pool finish & landscaping are all part of the finishing touches which are scheduled for the later end of this month. This project has taken us no time at all, we demolished the existing home at the end of January and aiming to have our lovely clients settled in by early July. What an exciting time it has been!

Some other exciting news for our Company…. we have just set up our very own blog page on our website: www.daveyconstructions.com Here people will be able to have access to our monthly newsletter and also other interesting blogs posted on our social media pages.

Wishing you a fantastic month,

The Davey Constructions Team

After a relaxing Easter break it was straight back into work with both our Miami & Burleigh projects progressing along nicely.

Over the past month, the boys have been steadily cladding the entire exterior of the duplexes in Miami. Matrix cladding, linea board and axon cladding have all been used on this project to create architectural interest and highlight particular features of the building. Over the next few weeks the external paint colours will be added which will create more depth and really bring these duplexes to life. Also scheduled in the coming weeks are plastering, internal painting and tiling of all wet areas. By the end of this month, the duplexes will certainly be on the real home stretch!

We continue to make good progress on our Hamptons inspired renovation in Burleigh, demolition complete, extension slabs poured and framing has now begun. Along with all the construction work, we have been busy doing interior selections such as cabinetry, tiles & flooring with our lovely clients. Looking forward to seeing this beauty come to life.

Recently our boys participated in a charity golf day raising money for ‘Have a Feed,’ a not for profit organisation who provide food relief and support to the homeless in our community. A big thank you to our close friend Sam Arthur from Inside Golf for organising a great afternoon, for an even greater cause!  

Hope you all have a fantastic month!

Another busy month here at Davey Construction’s headquarters & work sites. This month we have begun demolition on our new project in Burleigh Heads. This beautiful ‘Hamptons’ style home has been designed by our esteemed colleague Stuart Osman, of Stuart Osman Building Designs.  We have worked very closely with Stuart on a large number of projects around the Burleigh Heads area over the past 4 years. He has an extensive portfolio which ranges from Luxury large scale new homes to small renovations. You can find more info on Stuart Osman Building Designs @ www.sobd.net/

 Our Miami duplexes are really starting to take shape now with all the windows/ doors installed and roof on. Over the coming weeks the duplexes will be cladded and plastered ready for the fun part, interior finishes & fixtures.

Just before Christmas last year we finished a beautiful ‘country cottage’ renovation for our very pleased clients up at Parkwood. The beautiful detailed paneling in the kitchen cabinetry, Timber bench top and engineered oak floor really created a sense of warmth and enhanced the overall finish of the home. Take a look at some of our pictures above.

 Wishing you and your families a very safe & happy Easter.

This month we have well and truly begun the first stage of our duplex project in Miami. Demolition and base stage are now complete. It will be all systems a go in March as we begin frame stage & roofing.

It has also been a busy month of meetings with our clients working on colour schemes for exteriors and looking at interior finishes. This is a very important and exciting part of the building & renovating process. A little tip: stick to 3 colours for your exterior colour scheme to ensure your home doesn’t look too busy.

Next month we begin a large scale renovation & extension on a ‘Hamptons’ inspired home in Burleigh Heads. We are very excited to be working on this project and look forward to seeing it evolve.

Some exciting new for Davey Constructions....next month we are embarking on a new social media campaign where we will be posting more frequently across both Facebook and Instagram. Stay tuned for more pics and information.  

Have a wonderful week!

As we look back on the year that has been, it is wonderful to celebrate the achievements and growth of our business. We have added new staff members to our team and extended the area of our construction projects, reaching all the way up to the northern end of the Gold Coast.

 Our year couldn’t have been successful without the ongoing hard work and support of all our tradies & suppliers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for all your effort in 2016.

 We would also like to extend our gratitude to the great clients we have worked with this year. Thank you for choosing Davey Constructions as your preferred builder.
