Five house-building site managers were recognised for building homes of the highest standard at NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards 2015 gala final.

The Pride in the Job Awards are run by NHBC (National House-Building Council) and recognise the talent and expertise of top site managers who oversee house-building projects from start to finish, driving up standards on site for the ultimate benefit of homeowners.

“Pride in the Job has now been running for 35 years and our analysis shows that winning sites have higher levels of consumer satisfaction with fewer claims and defects, reinforcing the importance of the competition for both NHBC and the house-building industry.”

The runners-up were:
