“There are so many different directions you can take when it comes to sustainability,” says Payton. “We’re always learning, always evolving. But CLT has been a big step in the right direction for us. It drastically reduces waste and offers a healthier indoor environment.” The company also prioritizes durability and longevity in its builds, thereby minimizing the need for future renovations or repairs and contributing to a longer lifecycle for the homes it creates. AWARD-WINNING WORK AND INDUSTRY RECOGNITION Over the years, AJP’s commitment to excellence has been recognized by industry bodies across the country.The company submits to the Master Builders Association of New South Wales (MBA NSW) awards annually and has received multiple accolades. “We’ve been very fortunate to be successful in quite a few entries,” says Payton. “But it’s more than just a trophy—it gives the team something to strive for. When our team knows the judges are going to walk through the project, they push themselves even harder to make sure every finish is perfect.” AJP’s awards include wins in categories such as Housing Alterations/Additions, and Payton himself was named MBA’s National Young Builder of the Year—a significant endorsement of his leadership in the next generation of Australian construction. EXPANDING VISION, SUSTAINING QUALITY With 2025 underway,AJP Construction is focused on deepening its expertise and expanding its impact, all while maintaining its commitment to quality. “We’re just scratching the surface of what’s possible with CLT and BIM,” Payton says. “There’s still so much room to improve how we’re utilizing these systems—to make builds faster, more efficient, and more sustainable.” Beyond project execution, the company is also exploring the possibility of becoming more involved in property development, creating beautifully designed, sustainably built homes under its own banner. 21 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 05 AJP CONSTRUCTIONS
