Cotters Builders, a family-oriented business led by Michael and Madison Cotter, recently gained impressive recognition at the 2024 Mackay and Whitsunday’s Master Builder Awards.
Cotter Builders achieved remarkable success at the Awards, securing four prestigious accolades: the BUSSQ Building Super President’s Award, Best Residential Bathroom, Apprentice of the Year Award (won by their apprentice, Riley Smith), and Best Individual Home in the $700-$850 category. Notably, one of their homes ‘Villa Ta Lumi’ was honoured with both the Best Individual Home award and the President’s Award.
CEO & Building Designer Madison Cotter said that winning the President’s Award was “huge” for them:
“We were so shocked to win the awards, it's always been a dream for us to deliver a high quality project and be recognised for it, and to have fun along the way.”
“We’ve been working with the same subcontractors for 10 years now, they play a huge part in the quality of projects we deliver, so it is really nice for them to also be recognized as part of the Cotter Builders Family.”
What differentiates the Cotter Builders team is a healthy work life balance, good working culture and a family-oriented approach. We are a one stop shop for design and construct. We aren’t afraid of a challenge; we don’t mind spending the extra time to investigate alternate solutions and all of our projects are unique & individualised to our clients wants and needs. Madison explained.
“We always love getting the kids involved in the journey of the project,” Our two sons Hayes & Spencer (5,3) are part of our team, and we love to involve the children of families that build, as it is just as important for them to enjoy the journey.” Madison enthused.
“We love our team; we are truly committed to breaking the 9-5 mould by Making Cotter Builders and our work life a lifestyle rather than the 9-5.”
Cotter Builders is a dynamic and dedicated team with a robust work ethic. Established in 2015 and officially incorporated in 2019, the company has achieved significant milestones in just five years. Notably, Michael was honoured with the Master Builders 'Rising Star' award in 2019, and Madison received the Master Builders 'Women in Construction' accolade.
When asked what keeps the team motivated, Madison responded:
“We live, love, breathe design and construction.”
The team provides a fully customised experience in home design, interior design, and construction, utilizing 3D walk-thru capabilities. The team ensure quality results through ongoing training and industry updates.
When asked about their most rewarding projects, Madison shared that the true satisfaction comes from delivering a custom-designed renovation that significantly transforms the way the family lives. Witnessing the joy and happiness of clients at the end of a build is what the team finds most fulfilling.
The company loves the projects they are currently undertaking and would love to continue to build and service Mackay and the surrounds for many years to come.
Congratulations Cotter Builders on your amazing awards.
