What House? Awards 2009 - The Best New Homes in Britain
Catergory 13 - Sustainable Developer of the Year
The What House? Awards are the Oscars of the housebuilding industry, now in their 28th year, and are a celebration of the Best New Homes in Britain. The gala ceremony will be held as a luncheon at the prestigious Grosvenor House hotel on London's Park Lane on Friday 20th November 2009.
Entry to Sustainable Developer of the Year
With climate change and the environment still high on the Government's agenda and dominating building regulations, this category will reward those committed to all aspects of sustainability, with an environmental ethos running through the company from top to bottom. Judges will be looking for zero-carbon initiatives, use of sustainable materials and energy efficient appliances, site planning and social and affordable provision where applicable. Developers must demonstrate a marketing drive to raise consumer awareness of sustainable homes and a desire to deliver them cost-effectively.
Judging
When all entries have been received, an extensive panel of property experts, including architects,surveyors, property writers and industry specialists, will prepare a shortlist of the best entries in each category. Each shortlisted entry will then be visited and a detailed report drawn up before judges reach their final decisions. Up to three awards - Gold, Silver and Bronze - will be made in each category (apart from Category1).
Where entries are deemed of insufficient merit, the number of awards may be reduced in that category.
Written reports detailing the judges' decisions will be made available at the conclusion of What House? Awards presentation luncheon. The judges' decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Publicity for Winners
Award-winning housebuilders and developments will receive widespread national and local media coverage in an integrated PR and marketing campaign, promoting the builders of the best new homes in Britain.
