HOUSEBUILDER AWARDS 2021
HOUSEBUILDER AWARDS - WINNERS ANNOUNCED
The Housebuilder Awards returned live to the InterContinental London-The O2 on November 24th with more than 500 people enjoying the black-tie event hosted by comedian Tom Allen.
Vistry was crowned Large housebuilder of the year at the event. The firm was praised for showing “real intent across the board”, with five finalist entries including a win in the Housebuilder Star category for Sue Scholfield whose “calm manner and motivated leadership” as acting managing director of Linden Homes’ western division impressed the judges.
Hill was declared Medium housebuilder of the year for the second consecutive year Hill and was also joint winner of the hard-fought Design for three storeys or fewer award for Davenport Villas as part of its Mosaics scheme in Oxford. It was joint winner with Baker Estates which impressed with The View at Malborough, near Salcombe and also scooped the Small housebuilder of the year award alongside Quinn Homes. Canterbury-based Quinn also won the Best community initiative award for Eddington Park & Herne Bay Sports Hub, while landing the Best refurbishment project award for the Engine Sheds, Hammill Park.
Sustainable housebuilder of the year was Barratt Developments; the judges noted that it had covered all aspects of the environmental agenda.
The Best training or recruitment initiative award went to Redrow for its comprehensive Inspiring the next generation to build programme. It was also champion in the Best customer satisfaction initiative category for My Redrow, home owner support.
Anderson was the recipient of the Best regeneration initiative award in conjunction with L&Q for The Quarry, Erith. And Catalyst & Focus received the Best marketing initiative gong for the Time for a place of your own campaign.
Inspired Villages, a relatively new later living housebuilder, won Best retirement scheme for Great Alne Park, Alcester. Places for People aced the Best design for four storeys or fewer category for 55 Degrees North, Granton Waterfront, Edinburgh.
Trustmgt was hailed Subcontractor/services provider of the year while Mixergy’s Solar Tank emerged as Product of the year.
Now in their 17th year, the Housebuilder Awards celebrate excellence in all aspects of the sector, including in customer satisfaction, marketing, design, training, regeneration and sustainability.
