Spotlight on building feats

Cromer Builders starred in their debut at the prestigious Home Industry Association housing awards recently, winning two renovation honours for western Victoria.
Construction manager Adam Cromer says the awards were great recognition for his dad Ray, who started the business 35 years ago.
“He’s been doing it for a long time,” he says. “It’s good to be acknowledged for his hard work and reputation.”
The builders won Renovation/Addition up to $400,000 and Renovation/Addition of the Year for their innovative facade facelift and rear extension of a beachside house in Barwon Heads designed by local architects, Freehand Projects.
The renovation focused on warmth, space, views to the property’s garden and the client’s taste for a modern aesthetic.
“It was a technical renovation and really well designed,” Adam says.
The clean architectural lines and absence of arcs and skirts called for millimetre perfect precision, requiring quality workmanship.
“We’re definitely detail-focused,” Adam says.
The business is based in Ocean Grove where many residents are choosing to renovate older, structurally sound dwellings.
“We’d much rather renovate a home to maintain its character and integrity, than see it knocked down”, says Adam. “Plus, we enjoy a challenge.”
Cromer Builders offer a range of building services, mainly custom new builds, renovations and extensions.
“We are hands-on; help make the complicated things simple, and guide our clients through the building process in order to achieve the highest quality results every time,” Adam says.
Phone Adam on 0400 009 459 or email info@cromerbuilders.com.au to discuss your next project.
