More than 750 leading construction industry figures attended the LABC Building Excellence Awards at the Westminster Park Plaza Hotel to acclaim best practise, quality and standards in construction.

These were the first Building Excellence Awards since 2019 following the global pandemic and LABC has revised the awards to focus more on professional skills and competence – dividing the awards into two: ‘people’ and ‘places’.

A panel of industry experts judged a list of the highest quality projects and teams from around England and Wales to showcase solutions to complex technical or construction issues, site constraints, technical innovation and the building control professionalism that leads to safe, sustainable and high quality construction projects.  

LABC is delighted to announce the winner of the Best Residential & Small Commercial Designer is James Brown of Cuppa Architects of Weston-super-Mare.

The judges considered James a worthy winner as he believes there is no space for 'ego' within the design and construction team and genuinely values the skills and knowledge each party brings to a project. Cuppa has established a trusted working relationship with North Somerset Building Control and are proud of being a Registered Partner of LABC engaging with them for 95% of projects. James was awarded the prize for working very closely with the local LABC team on a conversion project for an elderly person with rapidly declining health, enabling them to remain in their home and receive care from their family.

Congratulating James, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said,

“These new style awards reflect LABC’s new focus on skills, quality and competency and reflect the best in construction from a technical perspective. James’s approach to projects is highly personal and consistently enthusiastic acting as a friendly, down-to-earth guide throughout the entire process of design, planning and building control. James is an example of how a professional approach, work ethic and dedication to his clients can result in quality spaces and places for people, regardless of budget or location.”
