Quality counts for site manager Craig

A construction site manager in Sunderland has won a national award for the quality of the homes being built.

Craig Hindmarsh. at Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Cherry Tree Park development, has won a National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in The Job Quality Award for the second year in a row.

In total Barratt Developments Site Managers won 79 Pride in the Job Quality awards this year – the 17th year in a row that Barratt has won more of the awards than any other homebuilder.

The awards aim to recognise the vital role site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered ontime, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.

Every site manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards – with just 450 winners being selected from 11,000 entrants.

Carl Sobolewski, managing director at Barratt Developments North East, said: “These awards showcase only the best new homes and well-run sites. In winning so many awards, it also demonstrates that we are building some of the highest quality homes in the country, including in the Sunderland area.

"It also shows the long-term commitment we have to looking after our customers and making them happy.”

Their awards closely follow Barratt Developments being awarded 5 stars by its customers for satisfaction in the annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) new homes survey.

To be rated 5 star means that more than 90% of its customers would recommend one of its homes.
