Site manager scoops Seal of Excellence award in Somerset

A site manager working for local housebuilder Barratt Homes in Somerset, has been awarded a Seal of Excellence Award – among the highest honours in the industry.

Martin Beard picks up this award for his work in Midsomer Norton where Barratt Homes is building Beecham Place.

Barratt managing director Russell Glimstead said he was thrilled with the success of Martin in winning this accolade.

“We have a long tradition of producing top quality and award winning site managers and to win this regional accolade for quality is tremendous recognition for the efforts of Martin and his team.’’

He said the award demonstrates that Barratt Homes’ construction teams continue to lead the industry.

“Site managers play a pivotal role in delivering high quality new homes and this recognition demonstrates our dedication and commitment to building new homes of the very highest standard.’’

The Pride in the Job awards are the most coveted in the industry. They are awarded after the construction standard setting body NHBC (National House-Building Council) carries out a series of spot check site inspections to select the best-organised and best-quality developments.

Thousands of site managers throughout the UK were judged on every aspect of their job, including technical skill, quality workmanship, customer service and site safety.

These awards closely follow Barratt Developments being awarded five stars by the Home Builders Federation for customer satisfaction. To be ranked as five star means that more than 90 per cent of customers would recommend a home to a friend and Barratt is the only major national housebuilder to be rated five star for nine years in a row.
