Orion Homes win LABC Award for Ossett development

A development in Ossett built by Horbury-based Orion Homes has won official industry recognition for outstanding quality and workmanship at the Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Regional Building Excellence Awards 2016.

Site manager John Butterwood oversaw the completion of a range of one and two bedroom apartments at Kingsway which received a Highly Commended Award in the New Dwellings – Large Development (West Yorkshire) Category. It is the second LABC award-winning Orion development which John has overseen, following on from Spring Place Park near Mirfield in 2013. He is now applying his skills and expertise at Benton Park in Horbury, where Orion Homes is building a range of three and four bedroom detached homes.

John said: “The LABC’s Building Excellence Awards are judged on excellence shown from a construction and technical building control point of view. Each year the LABC puts forward around a thousand projects for local, regional and national awards, so to it is very gratifying for our site team to receive recognition as one of a very select number of all those submissions to be Highly Commended.”

Orion Homes director Andrew Lumb said: “This is Orion Homes’ fourth LABC Award in total. We have also been Highly Commended for detached homes at Prince Henry’s Court in Otley and mews homes at The Grove in Roundhay. Each award is something which the company is very proud to achieve - they reflect our commitment to outstanding quality in construction and workmanship.”
