Walton Homes receives recognition award for site management and workmanship
31st March 2023
Walton Homes’ site manager Carl Brough has won an award for high standards of construction and site management at its Woodwinds development near Tamworth.
The site manager for Walton Homes’ 50-home development in Warton, was awarded The Bricks Site Recognition Award by LABC Warranty, for the standards of workmanship and overall management of the Woodwinds site, including health and safety matters and general tidiness.
The Bricks Site Recognition Award winners are chosen every month and are then further shortlisted at the end of the year, where only the best of those sites will be rewarded with The Bricks annual award trophy, one of the construction industry’s most prestigious awards given to outstanding sites from England and Wales.
LABC Warranty is one of the largest providers of structural warranties in the UK. Working in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), its combined team of more than 3,700 surveyors work with house builders, contractors and housing associations.
Sites are scored by LABC Warranty risk management surveyors during their inspection visits, which take place regularly through construction.
Those sites that score consistently high for general co-operation with inspectors, health and safety, site tidiness, standard of site management and standard of workmanship are nominated for a Site Recognition Award.
Carl said: “I am delighted to receive The Bricks Site Recognition Award from LABC Warranty. I’m especially pleased for our staff working on the site as this reward is a recognition of their hard work, professionalism and expertise.”
Sarah Sheppard, Technical Director at LABC Warranty, said: “It takes skill, commitment and a dedication to quality of construction for a site to receive The Bricks Site Recognition Award. Nothing pleases my team and I more than to see developments meet and maintain such high standards.”
Located off the Little Warton Road, Woodwinds – named after the old windmill, which the village was famous for – comprises of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties to suit a range of occupiers, be they young professionals, growing families or downsizers.
Walton Homes chose Warton for its latest site due to its idyllic location, which combines a peaceful village environment with the convenience of being just five miles away from the busy town of Tamworth with its extensive amenities, restaurants and retailers. It has been more than 20 years since the business last sited a development in the village; when a 24-home development, Hillcrest, was located off Maypole Road in 1999.
The Woodwinds showhome and sales office is open from 11am until 5pm and appointments can be made by calling the sales team on 01543 412288.
