Building Control Awards - Building and Design Quality 2012

The award ceremony for Bath & North East Somerset Council's Building Control Awards for Building & Design Quality 2012 took place in the Banqueting Room of the Guildhall, Bath on Friday, 15th February 2013.

The awards are designed to promote and reward builders and designers undertaking work within the Bath and North East Somerset area who excel in their achievements. This is now the 13th year of the awards.

Once again the awards were presented by Don Foster MP for Bath, Elaine Marson, Chairman of the Bath Stone Group, who sponsor the awards, the Chairman of Bath & North East Somerset Council, Councillor Rob Appleyard and Philip Mansfield, Building Control Manager for Bath & North East Somerset Council.

Councillor Tim Ball (Lib-Dem, Twerton), Cabinet Member for Homes and Planning, said "This is the thirteenth year Bath & North East Somerset Council, Building Control has run the awards and once again the judges have been impressed by the good number of high quality nominations. The winners cover the wide range of quality work undertaken in our area from small domestic extensions to larger commercial schemes and works to listed buildings.

"It is really good that the Building Control section can use this scheme to promote high quality in building construction and design in our area and I would like to congratulate the winners of this year's awards for their high quality work. We would also like to thank the Bath Stone Group once again for kindly sponsoring this year's awards."

The winners of the awards received an inscribed Bath Aqua glass bowl and framed certificate.

Winners from these awards will be entered into the regional Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Building Excellence awards and possibly then into the national LABC Building Excellence awards.
