LABC Building Excellence Awards 2021 winner: Best High Volume New Housing Development

More than 750 leading construction industry figures attended the LABC Building Excellence Awards at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel to acclaim best practise, quality and standards in construction.

These were the first Building Excellence Awards since 2019 following the global pandemic and LABC has revised the awards to focus more on professional skills and competence – dividing the awards into two: ‘people’ and ‘places’.

A panel of industry experts judged a list of the highest quality projects and teams from around England and Wales to showcase solutions to complex technical or construction issues, site constraints, technical innovation and the building control professionalism that leads to safe, sustainable and high quality construction projects.  

LABC is delighted to announce the winner of the Best High Volume New Housing Development is Fulham Reach, Faulkner House, Hammersmith, London.

The judges highlighted the focus on striving to achieve the best quality build and cooperative working processes of the teams.  Site records were shared with Building Control team when requested allowing full access to a wealth of information. The development of the Sales Centre provided a challenge that was overcome through teamwork. The project needed to create a safe, attractive area for customers while completing the next phase but had to achieve practical access for a fire tender at the same time. Working with London Borough of Hammersmith a Fulham a successful solution was found.

Congratulating the team, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said,
