On 22 June the National House Builders Council (NHBC) announced the winners of the Quality Awards and the Single Home Commendations the first round in its annual Pride in the Job competition. Pride in the Job recognizes the achievement of the UK's housebuilding site managers in creating homes of outstanding quality.
Site managers are uniquely positioned to influence the quality of new homes, being responsible for managing a site from beginning to end. The 450 individuals shortlisted for these awards can justifiably claim to be in the top few per cent of their profession.
Mike Quinton, chief executive of the NHBC, which is the leading standards setter and warranty provider for new UK homes, said: Winning a Pride in the Job award is a major achievement for any site manager. These people are at the top of their game, ensuring that the homes they help create are of the highest standards. Each of our award recipients can be truly proud of this accolade.
For over three decades, Pride in the Job has been a foundation of NHBC's work to improve housing standards, encouraging best practice on site. The homes these individuals have built are without doubt among the best in the UK.
The winners were shortlisted from around 13,000 site managers working on NHBC registered sites, having excelled in a comprehensive year-long judging process, assessed against the stringent criteria defined by NHBC's technical standards for building new homes.
The Quality Award winners will go on to contest the second round of the competition, the Regional Awards, where, in addition to the regional winners in the various categories, the prestigious Seal of Excellence awards will be announced. The Regional Award winners will progress to the Gala Final at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel in London in January, hoping to become their category's Supreme Champion.
For many years Construction National has devoted extensive coverage to the awards. The next issue will see the first of the special features on the winners.
