The benchmark for exceptional site managers
Site Managers Richard Young and Peter Hamley are celebrating having received a Pride in the Job 2024 Quality Award from NHBC, the UKβs largest provider of new home warranties and insurance.
They are celebrating receiving a Quality Award for the development of Taw Wharf Barnstaple.
Now in its 44th year and widely considered the βOscarsβ of the house-building industry, Pride in the Job has become the benchmark for exceptional site managers. Judging is rigorous, with assessment across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Thousands of inspections, with meticulous scoring and detailed verifications, have taken place to determine the 449 winners from a field of more than 8,000 sites, representing the top 5% of UK site managers.
Commenting on the awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said:
βFor more than four decades, Pride in the Job has underpinned NHBCβs purpose of raising standards in house building. The competition recognises the UKβs top site managers, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence.
βWinning site managers demonstrate dedication, passion and leadership to ensure new homes are delivered to exacting construction quality standards. While house building is a team effort, we believe the greatest influence on the quality of a finished home is the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their team. Congratulations to all the winners.β
Stay Tuned
The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2025.
