LABC Building Excellence Awards 2022 winner: Best Residential Extension

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 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 Extension is Park View, Beaumont Park, Huddersfield.

This is a sympathetic, quirky addition to an existing home, which was originally built in 1965 and inspired by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The extension has been designed and built in keeping with the original design, and the architect (the home owner) and builder worked closely with the building control team at Kirklees, who provided invaluable advice on the many technical challenges faced. Excellent communication between the project team and public service building control from start to finish were integral to the success of this project.

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