Finalists in Stratford-on-Avon District Council's Building Excellence Awards have been invited to an awards ceremony on Friday 17 April at the Town Hall in Stratford-upon-Avon starting at 12noon.
Builders, architects and owners of developments have been drawn from a field of more than 2,000 projects that have been completed in the last two years within the Stratford-on-Avon District, with an independent judging panel* choosing the finalists for each category.
The awards recognise excellent practice across a complete range of buildings – from major and minor commercial work to the construction of new homes, conversions, domestic extensions and sustainable developments, with nominations made by our surveyors and by others for work completed between 2012 and 2014.
The awards not only highlight excellence in build quality and workmanship, but also recognise team working, sustainable design and technical innovation.
The judging panel have assessed the nominations based on:
- Quality of construction
- Client experience
- Level of inspection
- How well executed was the project
- How conscientious was the builder
- Innovation
- Wow factor
- Quality of design
- Sustainability
These awards differ from others in the industry by acknowledging the often unseen contribution that Building Control makes towards the built environment. By working closely with the local building sector, Local Authority Building Control services ensure projects comply with building regulations, resulting in safe, sustainable and accessible buildings across the area.
*The Panel comprised:
- Mike Swatton - Business Development Director for Premier Guarantee
- Mick Price - a Chartered Architectural Technologist and a former Senior Building Control Surveyor
- Clive Powles - a Property Developer and Director of CMP
