Bricks Q1 SRA Round Up

Clays Lane, by Peveril Homes

Location: Branston, near Derby

Number of homes: 86

Adam Butcher, Site Manager, said: “I genuinely feel a sense of achievement from the work force on site, an award really does bolster why we are all here! Whenever an award is issued to one of our sites the entire organisation is elated and proud of ALL involved.

“To single out an individual team member or tradesman puts me in a difficult position, one I don’t think I can do, as ALL endeavours are first class. Although, I would like to thank our East Staffordshire Build control Inspector – Teja Nial. He is a rock solid platform of knowledge and advice across all building stages and details, he also has a great sense of humour.

“Our delightful customers…can feel relaxed, safe in the knowledge that an expert team has built, inspected and warranted their house.”

an Sharpe, Production Manager, said: “Winning an LABC site recognition award means a great deal to Peveril Homes as we pride ourselves on delivering quality homes built on reputation.

“These awards reflect the hard work that they put in and to be recognised by the LABC means a great deal especially to managers like Adam Butcher who goes the extra mile to ensure his finished plots are some of the best out there.

“We are of the opinion that “quality is standard not an option” and our build teams should be proud of what they produce, it gives us great pleasure to inform customers that their dream home has been built by an award winning site team.”

Sowerby Gateway, by Equans

Location: Thirsk, near York

Number of homes: 97

Robin Connell, Site Manager, said: “The award came as a very much appreciated surprise. Being in site management is a hard job, stressful at times. When we received notice we had received the award…it gave me the feeling that we are appreciated for the work we put in.

“Upon receiving the award, I pinned up the certificate on the site notice boards in the site canteen with a note relaying our thanks to the workers on site for their hard work and good work ethics. Everyone I talked to about this award was so happy about this as sometimes they are left without recognition even though they put their heart and soul in it.

“The workers on site know what the LABC awards mean, and everyone is keen to take recognition of this.”
