The Devon Building Control Partnership, which undertakes the Building Control functions for South Hams, Teignbridge and West Devon District Councils, held their annual Building Excellence Awards on Thursday 18 April at Newton Abbot Racecourse where over a hundred and twenty Clients including Architects, builders and developers gathered to celebrate building excellence across the districts throughout 2023.

The awards recognise excellent practice across a complete range of buildings projects – from major commercial developments to the construction of new homes, conversions, domestic extensions and sustainable development, with nominations made by our surveyors. These nominations are assessed based on:

·       Compliance with Building Regulations

·       Quality of construction

·       Supply of information regarding site inspections

·       Speed of fault rectification/willingness to discuss problems

·       Access for people with disabilities

·       Energy conservation and sustainability
