Five site managers have been honoured for building high quality homes by the National House-Building Council (NHBC), beating 16,000 rivals.
The Pride in the Job Awards 2015, dubbed the ‘House Building Oscars’, recognises the talent and expertise of site managers who oversee the building of homes to the highest standard.
The NHBC confirmed that this year’s winners are:
• Kirk Raine of David Wilson Homes (Mercia) won the Large Builder category for his work at the Webbs Meadow development in Telford.
• Paul Dunnett of Berkeley Homes (South East London) was named the winner in the Multi-storey category for overseeing work at the Saffron Square site in Croydon.
• Steve Walker of CG Fry & Son took the title in the Medium Builder category for managing the North East Quadrant development in Dorchester.
• Michael Thomas of South Meadow Homes was the winner in the Small Builder category for the Gibba’s Way (Phase 3) site in Pembroke.
• David Barratt of DF Barratt Ltd won in the Single Home category for Ivy House in Darlington.
Mike Quinton, NHBC Chief Executive, said: “NHBC’s mission is to ensure the highest construction quality in new-build homes across the UK and site managers play a pivotal role in making this happen.
“Our Pride in the Job champions and runners-up beat an incredible number of others to win the title, and they can justifiably claim to be among the best in the business, knowing that the homes they build are of the very highest quality.
“Pride in the Job has now been running for 35 years and our analysis shows that winning sites have higher levels of consumer satisfaction with fewer claims and defects, reinforcing the importance of the competition for both NHBC and the house-building industry.”
