Llanmoor Homes is delighted to announce that for the second year running our site manager has been awarded an NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award. The competition recognises site managers who have achieved the very highest standards in house building across the UK.

Dave Hodges, who works on Llanmoor’s popular Cae Sant Barrwg development in Bedwas, was selected to win the prestigious award from a field of more than 10,000. This represents the top 5% of those who entered and is testament to their commitment to deliver quality homes for their customers.

Pride in the Job, first launched over forty years ago, is the most highly regarded competition in the house-building industry. Judging for the Awards is rigorous, with the current competition beginning in July 2020 and each site manager assessed across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise, and health and safety.

Pride in the Job is at the heart of NHBC’s core purpose to support the delivery of high-quality new homes. By recognising the very best site managers across the UK, the competition celebrates the vital role that site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on time, on safe sites and to exacting construction quality standards.

The competition has three categories for different sized businesses: small, medium and large house builders, plus a multi-storey category for site managers working on projects of five storeys or more.

The Quality Award winners will go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national, Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2022. 

Commenting on the Awards, NHBC Chief Executive Steve Wood said: “Pride in the Job has been pivotal in improving the quality of new homes for more than 40 years. Despite the numerous challenges the industry has faced, the very best site managers of 2021 have remained focused on delivering high quality new homes for their customers. 

“At NHBC we are very proud of Pride in the Job, what it stands for and the impact it has across the sector. Pride in the Job winning sites have higher levels of homeowner satisfaction as these homes are among the very best in the country.

“Congratulations to all the 2021 Pride in the Job Quality Award winners – be proud of what you are building and the standards you are setting.”

Dave Hodges, Site Manager of Llanmoor Homes said: “It is fantastic to win this award for the second year running. It is testament to the hard work of all the team around me – Cae Sant Barrwg is a very busy and successful site and it’s great to be recognised by NHBC yet again.”

Tim Grey, Director at Llanmoor Homes said: “ We are absolutely over the moon that Dave’s hard work, commitment, leadership and consistent attention to detail to produce the very best homes has once again been recognised in these prestigious awards. He thoroughly deserves this recognition for a job exceptionally well done and we wish him well in the next stage of the 2021 awards.”
