working with new contractors. “We’ve found the more we improve our business, the more we look for new contractors. Our business is only as good as what we accept. If we accept trades and contractors that aren‘t improving their business, it makes it hard for us to show up as professionals if we’re dragging them along all the time. If one of our trades isn’t keeping up with the direction in which we are taking our business, we look for trades that are getting training and coaching and running a professional business. If they’re running a professional business then it makes our business look better,” he says. This attention to collaboration and maintaining quality tradespersons has resulted in a very successful award-winning project in 2024. The Moffat Beach House is a reimagined beach shack on a highly constrained, subtropical coastal site. Subtle nods to the beachside vernacular appear throughout the house—from the front porch to the expansive windows of the upper level. As the first house of its kind to be constructed in Queensland, the project is commended for its use of cross-laminated timber, which required expert coordination to express the timber material and achieve a comfortable, quality environment for its occupants. The build recently won an award at the Australian Architect institute Awards for ‘Residential Architecture – Houses (New).’ The home is also in the running for another award – ‘Best Construction with Timber.’ Platinum Plastering is the trusted partner for architects, builders and developers in the Greater Brisbane region.
