Bancon Homes is delighted to announce that we have been named finalists in three prestigious categories at this year’s Trades Awards, underscoring our dedication to excellence in homebuilding. This acknowledgment showcases the hard work and commitment of our team in building outstanding new communities for our customers.
Site Manager of The Year – Colin Cosgrove
Colin has been employed by Bancon Homes for over 12 years. After eight years as a Joiner, he was promoted to Assistant Site Manager and just two years later was promoted to Site Manager. Colin was recognised and promoted due to his dedication, hardworking nature and positive work ethic.
During his time as Site Manager, Colin has single-handedly managed our flagship Lochside of Leys luxury development in Banchory and has been responsible for the completion of 140 units.
Colin’s site has outperformed all others based on our HSQE inspections and has become one of our most impressive and successful sites.
Nominating Colin for Site Manager of the year allows us to recognise someone who we truly believe is excelling in this highly responsible position, showing non-stop commitment in his development and loyalty to the company.
Outstanding Customer Service
For the past seven years Bancon Homes has won one of the building industry’s highest accolades for customer service, The In-House Gold Award for Customer Satisfaction.
The awards are run by specialist market research company, In-house Research who are an accredited supplier to the New Homes Quality Board. In 2023 an incredible 100% of our customers surveyed said they would recommend the company to their, friends, family and colleagues.
Construction Project of the Year – Cloverhill
Located between Bridge of Don and Aberdeen beach, the vision for Cloverhill is to create a new sustainable and transformative social housing community, providing high-quality, energy-efficient homes and healthy lifestyle opportunities for residents, businesses and the community.
In 2021 Bancon were awarded the main contractor contract by Aberdeen City Council to deliver 536 homes, together with three retail units and a community hall, two parks, a 3G sports pitch and changing room, allocated space for a Men’s Shed and allotments, and all associated roads, footpaths, street lighting and street furniture.
Jamie Tosh, Managing Director of Bancon Homes and Bancon Construction shared his pride in the nominations,
“The Trades Awards is a fantastic initiative and an excellent opportunity to celebrate the talent, innovation and hard work within our industry.
“Colin has been a key member of our team for many years, and I am personally delighted to see him get this well-deserved recognition as an exemplary site manager.
“Achieving the 100% Gold Award for excellence in customer service was something our team worked tirelessly for, going above and beyond to deliver our Customer First strategy. To see these efforts further recognised at the Trades Awards is incredible.
“And of course, our flagship construction project Cloverhill. It represents the cutting edge of construction innovation and sustainability creating much needed social housing. All new homes are designed to meet the Gold Level of Sustainability and we are currently operating ahead of schedule enabling quicker access to high-quality, affordable housing while supporting Net Zero objectives and compliance with rigorous environmental standards.
“Congratulations to all the finalists, we look forward to celebrating with you in November.”
