Heron Bros take top prize at Construction Excellence Awards
Heron Bros has been declared winner of the most prestigious prize in the Northern Ireland construction industry after being awarded the ‘Overall Excellence Award’ for the new Foyle College and Ebrington Primary School, Derry/Londonderry at the 2018 Construction Excellence Awards.
The Awards Gala Evening, held on 18th October 2018 at the Culloden Hotel & Spa, saw the firm win the award for their work on the £27m new build at the former Clooney Army base in the city.
Hosted by the Construction Employers Federation (CEF) in partnership with Specify magazine, the awards also recognised an additional 14 category winners from across the construction industry in Northern Ireland for excellence in general construction, housing, infrastructure and quality performance.
Congratulating the overall winners, CEF Managing Director John Armstrong said:
“Heron Bros’ work in delivering the £27m project is an excellent example of how our local construction industry is pivotal to the development of so many important projects across a wide range of sectors in Northern Ireland each year.
“The judging panel were particularly impressed at the best-practice construction techniques including major site excavation over a 38-acre site, innovative value engineering changes derived from their site-based team and use of emerging mobile technology to manage their supply chain. They were also extremely impressed in how the project was managed, and in particular how Heron Bros exceeded the sustainability objectives to deliver a ‘best in class’ project”.
