Hanwell Square, Boston Road receives prestigious national construction award

Posted 12/07/2024

Hanwell Square, Boston Road in the London Borough of Ealing has won the Major Projects Development of the Year at the 2024 LABC Warranty Bricks awards for its high standards of workmanship and site management.

Higgins Partnerships earned its place at The Bricks by receiving one of LABC Warranty's monthly Site Recognition Awards. Winners of a Site Recognition Award are nominated by LABC Warranty's risk management surveyors during their regular inspections of building sites.

Site Recognition Awards score building sites for the standards of health and safety, workmanship, site tidiness and site management observed by surveyors. All monthly Site Recognition Award winners for the year are entered into Bricks consideration, with LABC Warranty's technical specialists producing a shortlist.

This rigorous, evidence-led approach makes the Bricks one of the most prestigious awards that builders and site managers in England and Wales can earn.

Hanwell Square, which is being delivered in partnership with A2Dominion, is creating 360 high-quality private sale and affordable homes in the leafy London borough, with a mix of studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments, to accommodate a range of lifestyles.

A picturesque village square and landscaped courtyards is complemented by flexible space, ground floor retail shops, garden terraces, staffed concierge, a gym, roof tops gardens and play areas for children.
Hanwell Square is ideally located just a few minutes away from Hanwell train station which is served by the new Elizabeth Line.

Declan Higgins, Chief Executive Officer for Higgins said: “We’re delighted to win The Bricks Development of the Year award from LABC Warranty. I’m especially pleased for our team working on the site as this reward is a recognition of their hard work, professionalism and expertise.”

“The Bricks is one of the hardest prizes to win as a builder and site manager,” said Sarah Dee-Shapland, Technical Director at LABC Warranty. “It requires site managers and their teams to work constantly to uphold quality, safety, and workmanship across all the plots under their care.

“Winning a Brick also requires the buy-in of builders to support their site managers, backing them to put together teams and contractors to deliver great homes on great sites.

“I’d like to offer my congratulations to The Bricks winners this year, they should all be proud of the incredible work they’ve done on their sites.”

LABC Warranty is one of the largest providers of structural warranties in the UK. Working in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), its combined team of more than 3,700 surveyors work with house builders, contractors and housing associations.
