Star’s 2022 Master Builder Award Winners!

Drum roll, please! We are excited to officially announce Star’s 2022 Master Builder Award Winners.

Thank you to all participants and congratulations to all our winners! Your incredible work keeps raising the bar every year.

2022 Master Builders of the Year

Liberty Steel Buildings for Bowen Island Fire Hall

Liberty Steel Buildings was contracted to be a partner in the Bowen Island Fire Hall design build project. This project was completed following a limited budget while achieving new building code energy requirements. The use of a pre-engineered metal building as the main structural element allowed for project cost savings while meeting the minimum post-disaster requirements. Metal allowed for a completely non-combustible exterior building shell. The project is also ready to receive solar panels. The use of standing seam metal roofing allows for quick solar installation without penetrating the new roof.
