Perkins Builders took home the top award for the Cape Care Armstrong Village Dunsborough, the first residential care facility for the popular tourist destination.

The 80-bed residential care facility provides amenities expected of an aged care facility, including a dementia ward and 21 independent living apartments allow residents access to facilities such as meeting rooms, theatre room, hairdresser/beautician, doctor’s room and allied health.

Easybuild WA took the award for the 2022 Best Country Home South West. The spacious home on Australind Road, Leschenault, was created to maximise living and entertainment on a private bush block located near the picturesque Leschenault Peninsula Conservation Park.

The home represents a modern way of living combinedvwith the natural bush surrounds. Highlights include Donnybrook stone feature fireplace, polished salt and pepper concrete floors, trend plank spotted gum feature cladding, custom concrete benchtop and basins, and 12-metre pool with exposed aggregate.

Judge Sam Karamfiles was impressed by the high calibre of entries in a uniquely difficult year. 

“South West builders take great pride in producing quality, and seeing the entries this year made that clear. 

“The results showcased the ability to bring the best out from all their subcontractors and suppliers and produce the workmanship everyone is proud of,” Mr Karamfiles said.

The awards were held on August 20 in Bunbury at Quality Hotel Lighthouse.
