Whitsundays-based company Tin Lid Enterprises has achieved its biggest milestone yet, taking out the prestigious Commercial Trade Contractor of the Year award at the Master Builders Awards.
This award, which is the highest at the regional level, now positions the local family-owned business for the state finals in October.
The award recognised Tin Lid’s outstanding work on the region’s new fire station, a project that demanded precision and technical skill. Over three months, the team completed all roofing and wall cladding, installing an impact-resistant system that required pre-drilling and aligning more than 10,000 holes.
Tin Lid Enterprises have been nominated in the Master Builders Awards for the last three years. In 2024, they won Judges' Commendation, but owners Kate Lilly and Nic Buhler always had their eyes set on the Commercial Trade Contractor of the Year award.
Founded in 2021 by Nic and Kate, Tin Lid Enterprises has steadily grown while keeping its close-knit, family approach. The business has trained apprentices, including one who was named Indigenous Apprentice of the Year, and continues to advocate for more young people to consider roofing as a trade.
With the award on their toolbelt, the team is now gearing up for a busy 12 months ahead, taking on major projects including the Mackay Regional Council Resource Centre of Excellence, St Patrick’s College, Carlisle Adventist College, Aldi and Harvey Norman in Cannonvale and extensions for Bunnings.
