A site manager working for Barratt Homes North East has scooped a prestigious award for the second year running, in a national competition to find the best-run building site in Britain.
Dan Walker, based at Barratt North East’s Burton Woods development in Spennymoor, gained official recognition for the excellence with which he runs his development by receiving a Pride in the Job Quality award. The awards are dedicated to recognising site managers who achieve the highest standard in housebuilding.
Dan was recognised for his outstanding work, determination and dedication in ensuring that the work undertaken at Burton Woods in Spennymoor is of the highest quality and that it is completed in line with schedule.
The Pride in the Job Quality Awards are the most coveted in the housebuilding industry and have been instrumental in driving up standards for 35 years. They are awarded after the construction standard settling body in the NHBC carries out a series of spot check sit inspections to select the best organised and best quality housing developments.
Thousands of site managers throughout the UK were judged on every aspect of their job, including technical skill, quality workmanship, customer service and site safety. The site managers will now forward to the final round of the competition, which will select the best site manager in Britain.
Barratt and David Wilson Homes North East Managing Director, Scott Martin said he was delighted that local site managers have once again been judged within the very best in the housebuilding industry. “The recognition which our winning site managers are receiving shows their passion for the job, and demonstrates that we are building some of the highest quality homes in the country.
“The Site Manager plays a pivotal role in ensuring our teams deliver high quality new homes and we are delighted that our investment in training and developing the very best staff has been recognised in this way. This is an outstanding result not only for Barratt Homes North East but gives further confidence to our customers.”
