THE BUILDING ON QUALITY AWARDS 2024 RESULTS.
The Institute held its 17th ‘Building on Quality Awards’ gala dinner and awards presentation at the Gleddoch Golf & Spa Resort in Langbank, Glasgow on the evening of Saturday 11th May 2024.
Hosted by the ICWCI’s Scottish Chapter, members, guests and sponsors came together to recognise and celebrate the contribution that Clerks of Works and Construction Inspectors provide when appointed to a project.
Gilly Carr FICWCI won the much coveted ‘Overall Winner’ award for his work on Sky Studios Elstree in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
Chairman of the Judging Panel, Meredith Whilden FICWCI said:
“The quality this season has been exceptional, and I think far higher than ever before. We don't discuss our individual markings with each other until after we have made the final visit and this is where we bring our markings and thoughts together, and this time they were astonishingly close, which makes for a very exciting competition.
From time to time in these awards a project is entered that does not wholly fit into a specific category and this is certainly one of those.
This year the judges felt that Gilly Carr should receive this coveted award. His enthusiasm and refusal to accept sub-standard workmanship is reflected in the outstanding quality and detail of this project. His professionalism, proficiency and dedication is fully evident, far over and above what is normally expected of a Clerk of Works. It certainly was a labour of love for him and the end result is a complex of exceptional quality. He is a great ambassador for the Institute of Clerks of Works and the industry as a whole.”
