A Bellway Durham housing development in Ryhope has scooped a building award for the second time.

The housebuilder has been given The Bricks Site Recognition Award from LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Warranty for February 2024 for its work at Barton Meadows. The developer won the award for the same site in February 2023.

The LABC Warranty Bricks Awards recognise the very best developments, construction practices and workmanship of developers, builders, contractors and housing associations across England and Wales.

A representative from LABC Warranty, which is one of the largest providers of structural warranties in the UK and works in partnership with more than 3,700 LABC surveyors, is to personally deliver the award to the site team at Barton Meadows.

Gary Wilson, Business Development Manager at LABC Warranty, said: "Regardless of any external challenges posed, from material shortages to price inflation, Bellway's team has adapted and completed excellent work on Barton Meadows.

"John and his team show great professionalism and care in their work, and awards like the Site Recognition Award only serve to reflect their achievements on site. We're proud to partner with Bellway, and look forward to working with them in the future."

Bellway Durham is building 60 properties at Barton Meadows, featuring 55 three and four-bedroom houses for private sale and five affordable homes available for local people through low-cost rent or shared ownership.
