LABC Building Excellence Awards 2021 winner: Construction Specialist of the Year

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 Construction Specialist of the Year is Iain Liversage, 3C Building Control.

The judges considered Iain’s close working relationship with Cambridgeshire’s 3C Building Control where Iain is a member of the 3C user panel – a forum for users to comment on the service and receive industry updates. This has included the Building Safety Bill, proposed Building Safety Regulator and Gateways. Iain is also proactive about having meetings with 3C and is often consulting them for advice. Iain always instigates early consultation to overcome design concerns before they become issues. He has the ability to think ahead and anticipate these which makes him invaluable to Hill, as a problem anticipated is easier and cheaper to overcome.

Congratulating Iain, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said,
