FAVERSHAM SITE MANAGER TAKES HOME TOP NATIONAL AWARD FOR QUALITY WORK

A site manager at Barratt David Wilson Homes’ Perry Court development in Faversham has been declared one of the best in the country in recognition of quality workmanship in the prestigious Pride in the Job Quality Awards.

Dave Squires (41)has been recognised by the National House Building Council (NHBC) in the annual Pride in the Job Quality Awards. Considered ‘The Oscars’ of the housebuilding industry, the industry awards recognise and reward the best run building sites in the country – and are the highest accolade a site manager can achieve. In addition to frequent spot checks from the NHBC, Dave and the Barratt David Wilson Kent team were judged on their consistency, attention to detail, leadership, technical expertise, and health and safety measures.

Dave comments: “To be recognised by the NHBC is a fantastic achievement and reflects so well on my amazing site team – we all pitch in to help one another, and I couldn’t be happier that all of our hard work has been recognised. I like to think my enthusiasm for quality build is shared with our team and sub-contractors, so I was really pleased to hear that the judges commented on how passionate we are about this site and the homes we are building here.”

In total, this year saw over 10,000 entrants for the awards, with just 450 individual winners being chosen. Of these, 93 site managers from Barratt Developments have been recognised, with the housebuilder having won more Pride in the Job awards than any other housebuilder for the 17thyear in a row.

Natalie Perry, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt David Wilson Kent, added: “We are very proud of Dave for winning such a prestigious award for his hard work at Perry Court. The Pride in the Job Quality Awards recognises only the very best site managers for quality built new homes and well-run sites – and so winning is a great achievement. As well as being something that we can be proud of as a housebuilder, this recognition is also something that customers can look out for as a mark of quality craftsmanship when looking to buy a new home.”

Dave and his team are currently building a range a range of three and four-bedroom homes at Perry Court, with prices starting from £359,995 for a three-bedroom semi-detached home.
