The Bundaberg Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards, supported by key sponsors such as Bundaberg Chamber of Commerce and BOQ Bundaberg, recently honoured the region’s exceptional businesses. Among the highlights of the evening, Elevate Building Projects stood out by winning 2024 New Business of the Year and 2024 Micro Business of the Year—an incredible achievement for our company in its first year of operation.
An Inspiring Achievement
These awards are more than just trophies; they represent the hard work, dedication, and vision that has driven us since we pivoted to exclusively building granny flats in Bundaberg. On receiving the awards, our team reflected on the significance of this recognition:
“Winning not one but two awards is an incredible honour and a testament to the hard work and passion that drives Elevate Building Projects. It reaffirms our commitment to making a meaningful impact, especially as we pivoted to address the housing shortage in our region. These awards remind us that our efforts to create affordable housing solutions are truly making a difference. They also help us build credibility in the industry as we continue to grow and serve our community.” Says Bronson David, Owner of Elevate Building Projects.
What It Means to Win as a New Business
For a new business to be recognised among Bundaberg’s best is no small feat, especially in such a competitive field. We shared our thoughts on what this recognition means:
“As a new business, receiving this recognition among such strong competition is both humbling and inspiring. It shows that even in our early stages, our vision and dedication have been acknowledged. These awards motivate us to keep innovating and delivering exceptional service and solutions for our clients and the region.”
Standing Out in a Crowded Field
When asked about how Elevate stood out, the team attributed their success to their focus, passion, and clarity of purpose:
“The competition was tough, and we’re so humbled to have been recognised. While we don’t necessarily feel we stood out, we were very laser-focused on turning our vision into reality, and that became our driving force. We built a dedicated construction team that shares our passion for Bundaberg and developed an honest and transparent marketing plan to position ourselves in the market. Over the past year, we backed ourselves 100%, always staying true to our ‘why.’ We hope this dedication and clarity of purpose resonated with the judges.”
