LABC Building Excellence Awards 2023 winner: Best Medium Volume New Housing Development

More than 900 leading construction industry figures attended the LABC Building Excellence Awards at The Grosvenor House Hotel, London to celebrate best practice, quality, and exemplary standards in construction.

The LABC Building Excellence Awards focus on professional skills and competence, as well as exemplar 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 Best Medium Volume New Housing Development is St Mary’s Vale, Leeds.

Set in the sought-after historic village of Boston Spa, St Mary’s Vale development offers seven distinctive homes, ranging from a charming two-bedroom cottage to a collection of grand, seven-bedroom properties. The development highlights Park Lane Homes' keen eye for detail, noticeable at every turn. It effortlessly blends top-notch craftsmanship and modern construction techniques with uniqueness and cutting-edge specifications.

The LABC public service building control team at Leeds City Council have demonstrated their extensive knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness throughout the St Mary’s Vale project. 

This project owes its smooth and successful delivery to the dedication, hard work, and flexibility of the building control team. Thanks to their contributions, this outstanding mixed-use development now benefits both the local community and addresses the city's housing needs.
