Michael Burnell, 34, from Leeds, has been awarded an NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for leading the construction team at The Avenue at Thorpe Park, Leeds.
The National House Building Council (NHBC) celebrates the very best UK site managers and their commitment to raising standards in house building.
With only 444 winners selected out of over 8,000 entrants across the UK, Michael is among the country’s best house builders.
Judging for the awards is rigorous, with the current competition beginning in July last year.
Each site manager is assessed across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety.
Thousands of site inspections and meticulous scoring and verifications have taken place to decide the winning site managers.
This is the third year in a row that Michael has been awarded this quality award for his work at the Leeds based development.
“Winning a Pride in the Job Award is massively important and hugely recognised in the industry,” said Michael, who had worked for Redrow for the past nine years.
“There is strict criteria set by NHBC and you have to be a good all-rounder. “Winning this award gives you a real sense of self-pride and achievement. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication from all of the team, but that hard work has paid off – I am very happy.”
Redrow Yorkshire’s construction director Wayne Morris said: “This award is given to the best site managers in the UK and I’m very proud to have one of them on our team here at Redrow Yorkshire.
“Michael’s hard work, dedication and determination to achieve the highest quality standards has been deservedly recognised; I wish him the very best for the next round.”
Commenting on the NHBC awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said: “It is important we recognise the vital role site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on time, on safe sites and to exacting construction quality standards.
“This accolade recognises the best site managers across the UK and celebrates how much all the winners have inspired their teams by going the extra mile to deliver homes of the highest quality.”
The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2024.
