Buckinghamshire Site Manager named as best in country for quality
A Buckinghamshire Site Manager from David Wilson Homes has won a top national award for the quality of the homes they are building.
Dan Casey, based at Lavendon Fields in Lavendon, has won a prestigious award for his work onsite, marking him down as the best in the UK.
Known as the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”, the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in The Job Quality awards recognise the finest Site Managers from around the country.
Dan said: “I’m over the moon to hear that I have won a Pride in the Job award! I feel such a great sense of achievement as I set out to get this award when I first started Lavendon Fields a year ago.
“I have been with David Wilson Homes for three and a half years now, and it is a pleasure coming to site every day. My favourite part of the Lavendon Fields development is the completed units we have built that are now occupied with happy customers.
“This is my first award, and I must thank my Assistant Site Manager Chris Hodgson, Contracts Manager Simon Bannister, Construction Director Richard Flamson, Managing Director John Dillon, and all of the trades that collectively made this award possible.”
In total Barratt Developments PLC (Barratt and David Wilson Homes) Site Managers won 93 Pride in the Job Quality awards this year. This is the 17th year in a row that Barratt Developments has won more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder, showing its long-term commitment to building high quality homes.
These awards, now in their 41st year, rate Site Managers against key criteria such as technical expertise, health and safety, consistency, leadership and attention to detail. The awards celebrate the vital role Site Managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on-time, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.
Every Site Manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards, with just 450 winners being selected from 11,000 entrants, showing how difficult they are to win.
These awards come off the back of a David Wilson Homes Site Manager being crowned the overall winner in last year’s awards. Kirk Raine, Senior Project Manager, won the supreme award, the fifth time in the last six years that a Barratt Developments Site Manager has won the top prize.
John Dillon, Managing Director at David Wilson Homes South Midlands, said: “These awards showcase only the best new homes and well-run sites. By winning so many awards it demonstrates that we are building some of the highest quality homes in the country. It also shows the long-term commitment we have to looking after our customers and making them happy. No other housebuilder can match our record at the NHBC Pride in the Job Quality awards.”
These awards closely follow Barratt Developments being awarded five stars by its customers for satisfaction in the annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) new homes survey. To be rated five star means that more than 90% of its customers would recommend one of its homes to a friend, with Barratt Developments being the only major national housebuilder to be rated five star for 12 years in a row.
