Celebrating the success of the home building industry across a range of issues which remain key to the sector’s ongoing drive towards recovery, Homes for Scotland has announced the winners of its 2013 Awards. Now in their 11th year, the Awards were focused around four themes of particular importance to the industry’s ability to deliver desperately needed housing across all tenures: people, process, product and partnership. Accolades were given to those stand-out submissions which showcased new and innovative approaches to the low carbon and environmental agendas, housing delivery, partnership working and customer awareness as well as those individuals who demonstrated an exceptional contribution to the overall industry. The below companies and individuals were recognised in front of a record 800-strong crowd at the organisation's Annual Lunch on Friday 17 May, the largest such industry gathering in Scotland. Adding an element of extra “buzz” and atmosphere to the awards ceremony, the audience also voted for Mactaggart and Mickel as Home Builder of the Year using a special electronic voting system.

Commentator and former Executive Editor of The Scotsman Bill Jamieson, chair of the independent judging panel, said: “Attracting a record number of entries, the judges were delighted to see so many positive demonstrations of the ways in which individual companies are striving to overcome the numerous barriers to recovery that the sector still unfortunately faces. “What drives this industry forward – and what has historically always done so – is its ability to create, innovate, adapt and inspire. “My fellow judges and I are delighted to have played a prominent part in helping to ensure such efforts are properly recognised and promoted to the benefit of the industry as a whole.”
