Prestigious construction award win for Smalley Manor

An established housing development in Smalley has been shortlisted for a national award recognising high standards of construction and site management.

Smalley Manor built by Peveril Homes, has been awarded The Bricks Site Recognition Award by LABC Warranty for its standards of workmanship and overall management of the site, including health and safety matters and general tidiness.

Chosen every month, the Bricks Site Recognition Award winners are then further shortlisted at the end of the year, where only the best of those sites will be rewarded with The Bricks annual award trophy, one of the construction industry’s most prestigious awards, given to outstanding sites from England and Wales.

LABC Warranty is one of the largest providers of structural warranties in the UK. Working in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), its combined team of more than 3,700 surveyors work with house builders, contractors and housing associations.

Sites are scored by LABC Warranty risk management surveyors during their inspection visits, which take place regularly through construction.

Those sites that score consistently high for general co-operation with inspectors, health and safety, site tidiness, standard of site management and standard of workmanship are nominated for a Site Recognition Award.

With the final phase of this development now released and reserved, the award win demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to quality control and high standards.

Paul Brennan, Production Manager at Peveril Homes, said winning the award had shown the team’s hard work and attention to detail had been recognised: “It is probably the best form of feedback we could receive and we are proud to share this within the company and with our trusted sub-contractors.

“Our site managers are rewarded for the effort and hard work they put in and for investing time with the trades to build a complete team focused on quality and workmanship. Jon May, the Site Manager deserves the credit for this award.

“These awards also give our purchasers a degree of confidence that they are buying the house of their dreams on a development that has been well managed in terms of build quality.”

Sarah Sheppard, Technical Director at LABC Warranty, said: “It takes skill, commitment and a dedication to quality of construction for a site to receive The Bricks Site Recognition Award. Nothing pleases my team and I more than to see developments such as Smalley Manor meet and maintain such high standards.”
