LABC Building Excellence Awards 2021 winner: Best Residential & Small Commercial Builder

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 Best Residential & Small Commercial Builder is Lee Donnelly, of Donnelly Construction in Swindon.

The judges considered Lee a worthy winner as he strives to go above and beyond customers’ expectations. His high standards are recognised by customers’ exemplary praise and satisfaction in letters and feedback. Lee only works with local authority building control and always advises his clients of this. Lee has a very methodical approach to his projects, working with the building control team from initial contact to completion. He checks and obtains the relevant information at an early stage, discussing design, structural details and checking trees and foundations before starting work and honestly advising clients of extra costs or changes of design.

Congratulating Lee, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said,
