The LABC West of England Building Excellence Awards were held at the Bristol Marriott City Centre on Friday 12 July 2019. The venue was filled with over 370 guests attending from across the construction industry including representatives from Aqua Construction, Willmott Dixon, Newland Homes and Linden Homes Western.

The LABC Building Excellence Awards showcase buildings and design teams that have had to tussle with complex technical construction issues and building site constraints. The awards also celebrate the success of innovative, creative solutions across the numerous regions in the West of England, listed below:

Bath
Bristol
Gloucestershire
Herefordshire
Parts of Somerset
Wiltshire
Worcestershire.

Event highlights

On the night there were 16 winners and 12 highly commended entries that received trophies and certificates – see all of the award winners.

Winning projects included the Great Western Academy in Swindon, housing development Tyning Meadows in Bathampton and the SS Great Britain Museum in Bristol (pictured below).

Fundraising was for LABC President Dave Sharp's charity of the year We Build the Future – a construction and built environment sector charity that aims to improve prevention, detection and treatment of cancer and support industry workers dealing with the impact of cancer. The good people at the West of England awards raised over £2,400 - a very generous amount.

This year's awards night was presented by LABC's Head of Business Development Anna Thompson and a caricaturist and magician provided the entertainment.

"These awards are different. They aren’t about good looks or fancy design (although many winners incorporate both). They are about quality and standards. No other building awards look at how well buildings are put together from start to finish and the skills and competencies of those who design and construct them. We are very proud of everyone involved – they show the way ahead for the industry."

Paul Everall CBE, Chief Executive at LABC
