A MAUCHLINE building site manager has picked up a top industry accolade for his stellar work.

Matt McLaughlin of Mauchline picked up a ‘Pride in the Job’ award from the National House Building Council (NHBC).

Known as the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”, the Pride in the Job Quality awards recognise the best run building sites in the country and are the highest accolade a site manager can achieve.

The Pride in the Job Quality Awards are awarded following continuous site inspections by the NHBC of all homes to select the highest quality and best organised housing developments.

In addition to spot checks from the NHBC, site managers are judged on their consistency, attention to detail, leadership, technical expertise and health and safety, with just 450 individual winners being chosen from over 16,000 entrants.

David Scott, managing director for Barratt West Scotland, said: “These awards recognise only the very best new homes and well run sites. They are something that customers can look out for as a quality mark knowing their home has been built to the highest standard possible. To win more of these awards than any other house builder for 15 years in a row is a real point of difference which shows how committed we are to building high quality homes for our customers.”

Matt received the accolade for his work at Riverside at Cathcart, located on the southside of Glasgow.
