The first regional prizes have been presented to the winners of this year\u2019s LABC Building Excellence Awards by insulation specialist Actis<\/a><\/h2>\n

Virtual presentations for the LABC<\/a> Building Excellence Awards will be taking place twice weekly until early October, with this week’s online events celebrating professional expertise in London and the North West.<\/p>\n

The annual awards \u2013 usually black-tie events taking place at glitzy venues across England and Wales \u2013\u00a0 are open to organisations which have used Local Authority Building Control for their projects and are aimed at enabling construction professionals<\/a> to gain recognition and increase their reputation within the industry.<\/p>\n

LABC Building Excellence Awards reward excellent buildings, outstanding companies, partnerships and individuals who go that extra mile.<\/p>\n

Factors taken into account when selecting winners include high levels of compliance with\u00a0building regulations<\/a>, effective\u00a0working relationships\u00a0with\u00a0LABC\u00a0surveyors, outstanding\u00a0craftsmanship, technical\u00a0innovation, sustainability, an ability to solve technical problems with creative\u00a0solutions and\u00a0innovative\u00a0products and the\u00a0skills\u00a0to overcome difficult site conditions.<\/p>\n

The awards are open to building control surveyors, builders, architects, and designers.<\/p>\n

Actis sponsors two of the dozen award categories in each region. One is best local builder or craftsperson, which saw Keswick developments in Haringey winning the London category and Liverpool’s J Beckwith Builders win in the North West.<\/p>\n

In The London region, the best change of use of an existing building award went to Harefield Place<\/a> in Ickenham, Middlesex for its project to convert and extend a Georgian mansion to create 25 luxurious million pound plus apartments in nine acres of greenbelt land.<\/p>\n

In the North West this award went to The White Lion Hotel in Stockport, a 14th-century coaching inn which has been transformed into 11 rent-to-buy apartments and food and retail outlets after lying derelict for a decade.<\/p>\n
