LABC Building Excellence Awards 2023 winner: Best Non-residential New Build

More than 900 leading construction industry figures attended the LABC Building Excellence Awards at The Grosvenor House Hotel, London to celebrate best practice, quality, and exemplary standards in construction.

The LABC Building Excellence Awards focus on professional skills and competence, as well as exemplar projects with categories for ‘People’ and ‘Places.’

A panel of industry experts judged a selection of the highest quality projects, professionals, and teams from around England and Wales to showcase solutions to complex technical or construction issues, site constraints and technical innovation. The awards highlight the vital contribution public sector building control teams make as part of the project team, ensuring safe, sustainable, and high-quality construction projects.

LABC is delighted to announce that the WINNER of Best Non-residential New Build is Lancaster Energy Centre.

Set on the campus of the Lancaster Royal Infirmary, the recently established Energy Centre at Lancaster Royal Infirmary is a secure and cost-efficient facility, contributing to the long-term sustainability of the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust. Housed within a thermally efficient cladded building shell, the centre incorporates state-of-the-art technology for enhanced reliability.

The LABC Public Service Building Control Team at Lancaster City Council proved their ability to work collaboratively and efficiently which in turn played a crucial role in successfully delivering the scheme. The scale and complexity of the project required extensive coordination with regular reviews and meetings to develop the design and aid better client understanding.

Congratulating the whole team on their success, Lorna Stimpson, LABC Chief Executive said:
