Master Builders 2025 Contract Home $2 Million to $4 Million Winner – What It Means for Your Custom Home

Some homes are defined by scale. Others by restraint, clarity and the quiet confidence of a design that simply belongs to its setting. The 2025 Master Builders WA Bankwest Building Excellence Awards recognised exactly that kind of outcome, awarding BD Partington Building Contractors the win for Contract Home $2 Million to $4 Million — a category reserved for the very best premium residential work in Western Australia.

The winning project, located on Tranquil Drive in Windabout, is a collaboration that reflects what can be achieved when design intent, buildability and craftsmanship are aligned from the outset.

This Master Builders Custom Home Winning, designed by David Tomic and Roberto Forgione of CBD Architects, the home represents a considered response to lifestyle, landscape and long-term value — delivered with precision by a builder known for exceptional execution in high-end residential construction.

Award Recognition: A Benchmark for Premium Residential Building

The Contract Home $2 Million to $4 Million category is one of the most competitive brackets in the Master Builders awards program. It sits in the space where architectural ambition meets real-world construction discipline — where details matter, and the difference between a good home and an outstanding one is often found in what doesn’t draw attention.

In 2025, BD Partington Building Contractors took out the top honour in this category at the Master Builders WA Bankwest Building Excellence Awards, a strong endorsement of the project’s overall delivery and finish.

Key Details

• Winner: BD Partington Building Contractors

• Category: Contract Home $2 Million to $4 Million

• Location: Tranquil Drive, Windabout

• Award Partner: Ford & Doonan Air Conditioning

• Award Ceremony: 2025 Master Builders WA Building Excellence Awards

The finalists in this prestigious category included Dlux Builders, Refined Edge, and Tony Tomizzi Builders — underscoring the calibre of competition and the significance of the win.

The Project: Tranquil Drive, Windabout

Set in Windabout, the Tranquil Drive home is defined by its relationship to place. Rather than chasing short-term trends, the project focuses on a more enduring architectural approach — balancing strong spatial planning with a calm material palette and a layout that supports daily life without compromise.

The design prioritises:

• Liveability and flow across key zones

• Privacy where needed, openness where it matters

• A sense of arrival, transition and retreat

• Architectural detailing that is refined, not excessive

At this level of residential work, the outcome depends on more than visual appeal. A successful project must perform — practically, thermally, structurally and emotionally — while maintaining design integrity through every stage of the build.

Design Intent: A Home That Feels Resolved

Designed by CBD Architects directors David Tomic and Roberto Forgione, the project reflects a core belief: the best homes are not over-designed — they are well resolved.

That resolution comes from the careful coordination of:

• proportion and volume

• natural light and orientation

• material junctions and construction logic

• the relationship between architecture and landscape

• spaces designed around how clients actually live

• 
  

The result is a home that feels composed and intentional — a residence where design is not applied as decoration, but embedded into the planning, structure and detailing.

Why This Win Matters for Clients Planning a Custom Home

For clients considering a high-end build, awards like this are more than a headline. They’re a signal of what’s possible when the right team is assembled — and when the design and construction process is approached professionally from day one.

A Master Builders category win at this level reflects:

• disciplined project delivery

• exceptional trade coordination

• high-quality finishes and workmanship

• strong construction management

• consistency across the entire build, not just feature moments

Most importantly, it demonstrates the value of a collaborative architect–builder relationship — where design intent is understood, protected and executed.

Builder Spotlight: BD Partington Building Contractors

BD Partington Building Contractors are widely recognised for high-quality craftsmanship and professionalism in premium residential construction. Winning the 2025 Contract Home $2 Million to $4 Million category reinforces their position as one of WA’s leading builders operating at this level.

In a bracket where complexity is expected and quality is non-negotiable, the difference is in the delivery — the care taken in sequencing, detail execution, and ensuring the finished home matches the original vision.

A Shared Outcome: Architecture + Craftsmanship

Projects like Tranquil Drive don’t happen by accident. They’re the result of alignment — between client brief, architectural intent, and a builder capable of delivering the design as drawn.

This award-winning home stands as a clear example of what a premium residential project can be when:

• design is thoughtful and site-responsive

• documentation is clear and buildable

• the builder is committed to quality

• decisions are made with confidence, not guesswork
