A West Cumbrian site has been awarded development of the year 2020.
Keekle Meadows, based in Keekle near Cleator Moor and built by Whitehaven-based High Grange Developments, has been awarded The Bricks Developer and The Bricks Development of The Year award for 2020 by LABC Warranty, for its standards of workmanship and overall management of the site, including health and safety matters and general tidiness.
The Bricks Site Recognition Award winners are chosen every month and are then further shortlisted at the end of the year, where only the best of those sites are 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 cooperation with inspectors, health and safety, site tidiness, standard of site management and quality of workmanship are nominated for a Site Recognition Award.
Jake Johnstone, senior site facilitator at High Grange, said: “We’re delighted to receive The Bricks annual award from LABC Warranty. I’m especially pleased for our team working on the site, as this reward is a recognition of their hard work, professionalism and attention to detail. We would also like to thank all of our clients for extending their congratulations to us.”
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 annual award. Nothing pleases my team and I more than to see developments meet and maintain such high standards.”
