The Challenge

The greatest challenge was meeting the stringent Master Build specification to ensure the builders had the truest, level and plumb steel structure to work from. Achieving this level of accuracy was essential to set up the remainder of the build for success and maintain the exceptionally high standard expected of a Shaw Builders home.

The Solution

Through clear communication and close coordination with Shaw Builders, the Fabworx team established exactly what would be required on site to erect the steel safely and accurately. By understanding the sequence, methodology, and critical tolerances involved, we delivered a structure that provided the ideal starting point for the award-winning outcome.

Fabworx supplied, fabricated, and erected the main structural steel required for the award-winning coastal home, forming the backbone of this high-specification build. Our team also delivered the internal and external architectural stairs, including treads and handrails, ensuring seamless integration with Shaw Builders’ detailed finish.

A collaboration built on craftsmanship

This project adds to Shaw Builders’ long-standing record of excellence, with more than 60 awards since 2007. Fabworx is proud to partner with Dave and Carolyn Shaw on projects where quality, precision, and detail truly matter.
