The Ker Street development is the product of a partnership between the award winners Midas Homes, and Westco Properties, Devon & Cornwall Housing and Plymouth City Council, and forms part of the larger regeneration project which will see the heart of Devonport completely transformed.
Congratulating all of the award winners, LABC Chief Executive Paul Everall said; “Once again it was a tough assignment for the judges to pick winners from a very high standard field. All finalists deserve recognition for their great work in helping to improve building standards, boost sustainability and efficiency and show that despite a difficult economic backdrop standards do not have to slip.”
LABC National Building Excellence Awards celebrate the excellence of building quality in a variety of projects from large commercial developments, education and housing projects to domestic refurbishment, along with awards for technical innovation, best partnership and sustainability.
Unlike other industry awards, the LABC Awards recognise the importance of building control in creating a high quality, sustainable built environment in England and Wales. Local authority building control helps to ensure better design and builds by cooperative working between local councils, developers, designers and builders.
Tony Franklin, Senior Business Investment Manager - Westco, part of Devon & Cornwall Housing said; “Evolve highlights how successful the partnership between Plymouth City Council, DCH, Midas Homas and Westco has been. The area is in the process of being transformed for the benefit of the community and this award is the icing on the cake.”
