LABC Building Excellence Awards 2022 winner: Best Residential and Small Commercial Designer

More than 850 leading construction industry figures attended the LABC Building Excellence Awards at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel to celebrate best practice, quality, and exemplary standards in construction.

The LABC Building Excellence Awards focus on professional skills and competence, as well as projects, with categories for ‘People’ and ‘Places.’

A panel of industry experts judged a selection of the highest quality projects, professionals and teams from around England and Wales to showcase solutions to complex technical or construction issues, site constraints and technical innovation. The awards highlight the vital contribution public sector building control teams make as part of the project team, ensuring safe, sustainable, and high-quality construction projects. 

LABC is delighted to announce that the winner of the Best Residential and Small Commercial Designer is Vladimir Ladinski, Principal Architect for Gateshead Council.

Vladimir has over 30 years’ experience working in the UK and applies the principles of ‘Architecture for All’, delivering projects for the benefit of the local communities in Gateshead and the surrounding areas in the North-East of England. He believes that engaging with the building control team as early as possible is the key to a successful project. Collaborating with the Gateshead Council Building Control Team for over two decades has eased delivery of the most challenging projects. 

Congratulating Vladimir, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said,
