Raising standards to protect homeowners
Automatic entry for NHBC registered sites
Pride in the Job awards are won by site managers, not sites, site teams or companies. Site managers are automatically entered into the competition if they are working on sites which are registered with NHBC for warranty. There are no entry forms for Pride in the Job and no need to apply.
A great opportunity for builders
of all sizes.
All site managers, whether they work for a large or small company have an equal opportunity to win an award and new build, refurbishments and housing association sites are all eligible.
Judging by the NHBC Building Inspectors begins in July and continues throughout the year with every eligible NHBC registered site manager being considered for an award.
Category changes for the 2012 awards
New category for single plot sites
NHBC is introducing a new category to the competition this year - a single plot category in order to recognise the site managers who are building one home on a site. Now, any site manager building on an NHBC registered site is automatically eligible to win a Pride in the Job Award.
Multi-storey category amended to five or more storeys
Historically, the multi-storey category was defined as buildings of four or more storeys. This has now changed to five or more storeys to recognise the specific skill set required to manage and construct this type of building.
Award Categories
Site managers are placed into five builder categories which are:
Small builder
For sole traders with responsibility for site management or site managers employed by a company (or group of companies), who register between 2 and 50 new homes with the NHBC each year.
Medium builder
For site managers employed by a company (or group of companies) who register between 51 and 1000 new homes with the NHBC each year.
Large builder
For site managers employed by a company (or group of companies) who register 1001 or more new homes with the NHBC each year.
Multi-storey builder
For site managers working on multi-storey projects, this category recognises the different skill set required to run this type of site. Multi-storey is defined as a structure over five storeys for multi-occupancy.
