We know the dedication and commitment it takes to deliver quality developments, which is why throughout the year we reward site managers who go the extra mile to deliver quality in construction. Through our partnership with LABC, our LABC Warranty Site Manager Award is a special category presented at each of the regional LABC Building Excellence Award ceremonies, leading up to the national finals at the end of the year where the National Site Manager of the Year is crowned.

How to become a winning site manager:

What do we look for on site?

LABC Warranty Risk Management Surveyors score each site during their on-site inspection visits, looking at specific areas of the build including foundations, substructure, superstructure, finishes and site organisation. Site Managers are scored based on the below elements:

- General Cooperation
- Health & Safety
- Site Tidiness
- Standard of Site Management
- Standard of Workmanship

Key tips for winning an award

Site managers must display a range of skills reflecting their on-site management and workmanship by demonstrating the following:

- Well organised, planned processes and good safety procedures
- Technical compliance and management of site issues
- Maintaining a clean and tidy site
- Good attention to detail
- Leadership skills and forward thinking
- Assertive but fair, which is apparent and can be assessed by the culture on site

Past Winners:

Winning the award for South Wales Regional Site Manager 2016 exceeded all my expectations. This is a reflection of the team as one in working together in order to achieve our visions and aspirations. I wish to thank them for all their support in assisting my efforts as without this it would not be possible. At the moment my name was announced I was astonished, overwhelmed and especially proud of myself with the support of my family. Niels Nicolaysen – Datblygiadau Moelfre Developments Ltd

“It was an honour to be nominated for the award and to win was a fantastic surprise. To receive recognition from LABC Warranty is a reflection of not just my efforts but those of the whole team on site which culminated in me receiving this award. It has been a pleasure working with LABC Warranty and their friendly and helpful approach on site proved invaluable.’ Darren Roberts – Logmoor Ltd

“When I was nominated for the award it felt great to be recognised as I think it’s such a hard, stressful and complicated job we do and recognition for the long hours and hard work is not always forthcoming which is just the nature of the business. So to actually win the award was fantastic and a great honour having my name announced and going up on the stage to collect it will stay with me throughout my career. It is very humbling to know that I was up against so many other people to win this award and I am truly grateful to LABC Warranty for nominating me.” Colin Draper – St George Developments

“I would say the award is a proud milestone in my career and a great recognition of my site team’s commitment and our company’s ethos of quality building” Mark Shaw – Robert E Lee Limited

“I am delighted to have received such a prestigious award within the industry, having been a finalist last year it was a real privilege to have gone one better this year. I would also wish to say that the award is a reflection of the site team each of whom play a crucial part in producing good quality new homes” John Tanner – Robertson Developments Limited

“It is an honour to win an award of this stature and it is down to the full site team. This is a reward for all the hard work everyone puts in to bring the job in to the quality that we offer. It is not an individual effort but a team effort.” Alan Hendry - Gentoo Homes

“It was an honour to be selected as the LABC Warranty South Yorkshire Regional Site Manager winner for 2016. I take great pride in my work and strive for the best. From seeing a plot of land to handing over the final set of keys, to see customers settle into their dream homes and start a new community is extremely rewarding. I work alongside a great team at this development and this award is a credit to them all.” Tony Dobson – Persimmon Homes West Yorkshire
