LABC Regional Award Winners Prove Quality Work Pays Off
The 2011 LABC South East Regional Building Excellence Awards took place on Friday 24th June at the Barcelo Imperial Hotel Torquay. A total of 14 awards were given that celebrated the excellence of building quality in a variety of projects from large commercial developments, education and housing projects to domestic refurbishment, along with awards for technical innovation, best partnership and sustainability.
Unlike other industry awards, the LABC Awards recognise the importance of building control in creating a high quality, sustainable built environment in England and Wales. Local authority building control helps to ensure better design and builds by cooperative working between local councils, developers, designers and builders to avoid costly corrections during construction and to make sure projects comply with the highest standards of safety, sustainability and accessibility.
This year’s finalists showcased how local authority building control is at the forefront of facilitating high environmental standards in difficult economic circumstances and proving how innovative and sustainable development can also be very cost effective.
LABC Chief Executive Paul Everall said, “The standard of entries was once again extremely high showing the excellent work that is being carried out in the South East region. All the finalists deserve recognition for their great work in helping to improve building standards, boost sustainability and efficiency and show that despite a difficult economic backdrop, standards do not have to slip. Our congratulations go to the finalists – and especially the winners – all of whom have helped to show the importance of local authority building control. Most of the South West regional winners will now be nominated for the LABC National Awards which take place on Tuesday 1 November 2001 at The Brewery, Chiswell Street, London EC1Y 4SD.
Around 280 construction professionals attended the dinner. LABC Chief Exewcute Paul Everall, and Training Director Anna Thompson presented the winners with their trophies. Nearly £1500 was also raised for LABC President Mick Henman’s charity– the British Heart Foundation. The event was sponsored by LABC Warranty, Exova Warringtonfire, Roger Bullivant LABC Acousticand Warrington Certification.
