LABC Building Excellence Awards 2023 winner: LABC Newcomer of the Year

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 LABC Newcomer of the Year is Steve Morrow, Hertfordshire Building Control.

Steve joined Hertfordshire Building Control in August 2021 as an Apprentice Building Control surveyor, having previously run his own carpentry and joinery business. Enabled by his positive attitude and tenacity, Steve has since been promoted to Assistant Building Control Surveyor and is currently two years into a building control surveying degree.
