Dominating the construction industry is Fergus Builders, multi-award-winning builders who have shaped some of the region’s most well-known buildings for over 40 years. Since 1983, the company has grown into one of the region’s most sought-after builders across residential, commercial, industrial, and community projects. Known for combining craftsmanship, innovation, and community focus, Fergus Builders has earned a reputation for quality and reliability across the state.
The company’s commitment to excellence was once again recognised at the 2025 Master Builders Mackay & Whitsunday Housing & Construction Awards, where Fergus Builders took home seven awards across multiple categories.
Fergus Builders’ award wins highlight both the team’s skill and the company’s values.
Director and Projects Manager Adam Wright said, “We pride ourselves on our hard work and delivering the best possible end result for our clients.”
“Each award is as special as the other, whether it's delivering a well-needed community asset such as the Airlie Beach Fire Station or building Mackay’s first ALDI, they are all great projects to be involved with.”
The company’s projects span homes, schools, fire stations, and retail facilities. The Holy Spirit College INTAD building in particular, was awarded Best Education Facility, which stood out for its exceptional quality.
Adam says, “The level of finish of this project really stood out along with the facility itself.”
“One of the best things about building is delivering these types of projects, especially for the community in which you live. It is very rewarding knowing you have helped deliver a vital community service that will serve the community for years to come.”
In residential design, Fergus Builders has also been recognised. The Mayfair display home and Aria individual home exemplify the company’s balance of style, functionality, and affordability.
There's no doubt that collaboration is central to Fergus Builders’ success.
“Great projects involve great clients, builders, subbies and suppliers. It really is a team effort,” Adam explains.
“Our level of detail and commitment to getting the project completed to the highest possible quality is our main focus.
“But most importantly, our strength is our team.”
Looking ahead, the company plans to maintain its high standards.
“We will continue to strive for excellence in all areas of our business.”
With the 2032 Olympics expected to influence construction in Queensland, Fergus Builders anticipates opportunities for regional infrastructure projects, particularly in Mackay and the Whitsundays.
For more than forty years, Fergus Builders has not only built homes, schools, and commercial facilities, but strengthened communities through enduring, quality projects.
At the heart of Fergus Builders is a vision rooted in local expertise, pride, and a team-driven approach that continues to set the benchmark for Queensland construction.
