LABC BUILDING EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Local authority building control is all about excellence achieved through building standards, technical innovation and sustainable designs. This excellence is celebrated through local, regional and national award ceremonies. They are held throughout the year with categories incorporating every class of building from domestic extensions, social housing, apartments, schools, hospitals, commercial and retail to industrial properties.

Anyone can enter – an architect that helped develop the idea, the contractor, customer, or LABC department that was impressed by project. The judges will be looking for attention to detail, evidence of a positive working relationship with Building Control and all round build quality.

You may want to describe the “challenge” and how the design overcame the difficulties you were presented with. Include drawings or photographs within your document if this will help explain what you did.

Make sure you stress the quality of the construction solution that was developed and include photographs that testify to the quality of the end result.

Examples are better than generalities. Explaining how a good working relationship overcame a specific problem is better than just stating that there were good working relationships.

It is beneficial to include input from the customer or the end-user of the project. This could be to show that the project fulfilled their original design brief, or that they appreciated the design and construction features that you included with your nomination
