Marcham site manager awarded national accolade for house building quality
One of our site managers has been recognised for his proven dedication and has made his mark as one of the best in the UK after winning a top housing industry award.
Stuart Peace, site manager at our Temple Gate development in Marcham, is celebrating having received a Quality Award from the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards.
Running for 43 years, the accolade which is awarded by the new homes warranty and insurance provider, is the most highly regarded in the house-building industry and a prestigious benchmark for exceptional site managers. With only 443 winners selected out of over 8,000 entrants across the UK, the recipients are among the country’s very best.
In response to Stuart’s success, our Managing Director, Graham Flint, said:
“I am extremely proud of Stuart and congratulate him for this fantastic achievement, which is a true reflection of all his hard work. There is a superb team at Temple Gate, for which this wouldn’t be possible without. We always build with pride from start to finish, so that when our customers walk through the door, they can immediately begin living life to the full in their new home.”
Judging for the awards is rigorous, with the current competition beginning in July last year. Each site manager is assessed across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Thousands of site inspections and meticulous scoring and verifications have taken place to decide the winning site managers.
Commenting on the awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said: “Congratulations to all the winners who should feel proud to have received a Pride in the Job Award. Pride in the Job is firmly at the heart of NHBC’s mission to raise standards in the housing industry. It is important we recognise the vital role site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on time, on safe sites and to exacting construction quality standards. This accolade recognises the best site managers across the UK and celebrates how much they have inspired their team by going the extra mile to deliver homes of the highest quality.”
The flagship competition has three categories for different sized businesses: small, medium and large house builders, plus a multi-storey category where site managers are working on projects up to seven storeys for multiple occupancy and finally the high-rise category for multiple occupancy projects over seven storeys.
The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2024.
