Cirencester site manager named as one of the best in the country

A Gloucestershire site manager has been named as one of the best in the country.

Claudio Viveiros, who is bringing new homes to Cirencester through David Wilson Homes’ Pembroke Park development, has won a prestigious Pride in the Job award from the National House Building Council (NHBC). The awards recognise the best run sites in the country and are the highest industry accolade a site manager can achieve.

This year Barratt Developments, of which David Wilson Homes is a part, has won 74 awards in total, which is more than any other housebuilder. This is now the 13th year in a row where Barratt has won more Pride in the Job awards than every other housebuilder, making it the clear industry leader in site management.

Each of the site managers are judged on their site safety, technical skill, workmanship and customer service, plus they also faced a site spot check from the NHBC.

With more than 16,000 site managers being assessed and only around 450 winning a quality award each year, they are a much coveted sign of excellence within the industry.

These awards closely follow Barratt Developments being named as the UK’s most recommended housebuilder after it received five stars by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for customer satisfaction. It is the only housebuilder to be ranked as five star by the HBF for the last eight years in a row.

Campbell Gregg, operations director at David Wilson Homes, said: “We are delighted to yet again win more Pride of the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder as it demonstrates the high standards that we demand as a company. More importantly though, the awards showcase excellence in housebuilding. Homeowners who buy a Pride in the Job winning home benefit from knowing they have bought a top quality product.”

Commenting on the awards, Neil Jefferson, NHBC managing director said: “Congratulations to all the 2017 Quality Award winners - the strength of this year’s entries coupled with the judges’ long and hard deliberations over selecting around 450 winners from more than 16,000 site managers should give great pride to them all and their teams.

“Every year, the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards give us the chance to celebrate the efforts site managers go to promoting continuous improvement in the quality of new homes, year on year, for homeowners and their families to enjoy.”
