BIRMINGHAM PROJECT MANAGER RECOGNISED AS BEST IN THE COUNTRY FOR CONSTRUCTION QUALITY

Ian Green (54) has won a Pride in the Job Quality Award from the National House Building Council (NHBC), and these prestigious awards are known as the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”.

In total, Barratt Developments’ site managers have won 98 Pride in the Job Quality Awards, which is more than any other housebuilder. This is the 18th year in a row that site managers from Barratt Developments have won more of these awards than any other builder, underlining the long-term commitment Barratt Homes has to building high quality properties.

Ian, originally from Loughborough in Leicestershire, who has been working for Barratt Homes for a total of 11 years, has overseen the development of B5 Central for the past four years.
This is his 14th Pride in the Job Quality Award, and he has also previously won eight Seals of Excellence, and two Regional Awards during his career.

When reflecting on his latest award, Ian said: “We’ve got a great team at the development and everyone works really well together. This award is a testament to the hard work of everyone onsite.
“It’s a busy and demanding job, especially with the high volume of completions in recent months, but I’m delighted to win the award and I’d like to thank Mark Perry, Jim Stride and Lee Rowley in particular for their support.”

The Pride in the Job Awards showcase the best site managers in the country who can demonstrate exceptional standards in building new communities, delivering the highest quality homes for their customers. Each site manager is judged on a range of key criteria including health and safety, their technical knowledge, customer service and attention to detail.

Every site manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards, with just 450 winners being selected from over 11,000 entrants.

The awards also help to build quality standards across both developments and teams, with winning site managers invariably having an assistant site manager working with them. They in turn learn the high standards that are needed to win, increasing quality throughout the industry.

Dominic Harman, Managing Director at Barratt Homes Mercia, said: “We want to make our customers happy by building high quality homes for them. These awards recognise only the best new homes and well-run developments and we are very proud of our record having won more of these awards than any other housebuilder for 18 years in a row.

“Every customer who buys a home built by a site manager who has won a Pride in the Job Quality award can have confidence that their home is of the highest possible quality.”

These awards closely follow Barratt Developments being awarded five stars by its customers for satisfaction in the annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) new homes survey. To be rated five star means that more than 90% of its customers would recommend one of its homes to a friend, with the developer being the only major national housebuilder to be rated five star for 13 years in a row.
