A site manager at Bellway's Radley Reach development in Abingdon has won a prestigious national award.
Project Manager Stefan Codreanu has secured a Quality Award in the National House Building Council's (NHBC) annual Pride in the Job awards for the second year in a row.
The Pride in the Job awards are highly regarded in the house-building industry and are presented after a rigorous judging process. Stefan was one of only 450 winners selected from a pool of more than 8,000 site managers whose developments were inspected by the NHBC over the past year, placing him in an elite group within the industry.
This is the third Quality Award that Stefan has won in his six-year career as a site manager. He began as a site labourer with Bellway 15 years ago and has progressed with the company's support. According to the NHBC, winning site managers demonstrate dedication, passion, and leadership to ensure new homes are delivered to exacting construction quality standards. The awards are judged on six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise, and health and safety.
Stefan said: "I am honoured to have won a second NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for my work here at Radley Reach. This is very much a team effort – everyone has to commit to achieving such high standards at a site of this size and scale. The NHBC judging process is incredibly tough, so this win is a real testament to the quality and consistency of the team's work at Radley Reach.”
Stefan and the other Quality Award winners will now advance to the next stage of the competition, which includes the NHBC's Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards, to be announced this autumn.
Ricky Johnstone, Construction Director for Bellway said: "As you can see from the number of sites that are judged nationally, winning this award is no mean feat. The NHBC Quality Award is recognition of a job very well done and is universally respected throughout the construction industry as a mark of distinction.
"Stefan and his site team should be incredibly proud of this achievement. It is a real testament to their hard work, commitment and attention to detail, not to mention the extremely high standards that we set for ourselves throughout the business."
