Norfolk Construction Site Manager Named Best In Region - And Wins Prestigious NHBC Award For The Eighth Year Running

A Norfolk construction site manager has been named the best site manager in the whole of East Anglia and the East Midlands – and has also carried off a prestigious ‘Seal of Excellence’ award from the National House Builders Confederation (NHBC) for the eighth year in a row.

Tim Walsingham was named Regional Winner in the Medium Builder category at the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards at a glittering ceremony in Coventry.  He will now be competing for a National Supreme Award, the winners of which will be announced in January.

Mr Walsingham, who joined the Watton-based house builder in 1999, has won the Seal of Excellence award every year since 2018; he also carried off the award in 2009.  He is currently senior site manager for Abel Homes’ The Carriages site in Dereham.

Abel Homes managing director Paul LeGrice said, “It is an amazing achievement for Tim to be named the best site manager in the whole of East Anglia and the East Midlands in this category, and we are once again so proud of him for flying the flag for excellence in construction in Norfolk.

“The NHBC awards reflect exceptional performance on site, which is the backbone of our philosophy as a local house builder.  It is a reflection of the efforts we put into all of our developments to ensure that we are producing the very highest quality new homes in Norfolk”.

The NHBC awards are given following a ‘Michelin Guide’ style inspection by a NHBC inspector, who assess site managers against 38 strict criteria, including workmanship, excellent leadership skills, technical expertise, the ability to turn the designer’s intentions into reality, good health & safety standards and a commitment to raising standards.  The scheme has been running for more than 45 years.
