HOUSEBUILDERS CELEBRATE AT SCOTTISH HOME AWARDS

Scottish Home Awards

Scottish Home Awards

The best of Scotland’s housebuilding industry celebrated last night at the annual Scottish Home Awards, sponsored by the Dunfermline Building Society.

Applecross, the Edinburgh-based luxury builder, won three awards including the highest accolade the Savills Housebuilder of the Year Award in front of a packed audience of 550 industry representatives at the EICC in Edinburgh.

Applecross was also awarded the Springfords Medium Housebuilder of the Year Award and the Sound + Vision Waterside Apartment of the Year Award for its Waterside Green development at Meggetland, Edinburgh.

Gladedale also celebrated after collecting two awards for Poggenpohl and Kitchens International City Apartment of the Year Award for its uber-cool Fusion development in Glasgow’s city centre and the Dunfermline Building Society Affordable Housing Development of the Year Award for Richmond Gate at the Oatlands development on the Clyde.

Miller Homes collected the Gillespie Macandrew Large Housebuilder of the Year Award and Fife-based Thomas Mitchell Homes won CALA Finance Small Housebuilder for 2008. CALA Homes fought off stiff competition to win the Business Stream House of the Year Award and Edinburgh architects, Zone Architects, collected the Laufen at Scope Bathrooms Luxury House of the Year for a one-off property built in Murrayfield.

The Scottish Home Awards is the housebuilding industry’s independent awards programme which was established to promote excellence in Scottish house building. Ninety one award entries were debated by an influential expert judging panel of fifteen people including Dan Macdonald of Macdonald Estates, Bill Thomson of Kenmore Property Group and Allan Lundmark of Homes for Scotland. The panel was chaired by Margaret Curran MSP.

Peter Weanie, Director of Dunfermline Building Society said: “The house building industry has enthusiastically embraced the Scottish Home Awards. Rightly so, this is an excellent showcase, celebrating the quality and innovation within the Scottish housebuilding sector. Congratulations to Applecross who demonstrated excellence and innovation of the very highest standard.”

Mark Coulter, Head of Savills’ New Homes Division said: “As Scotland’s largest property services agency, we are delighted to be supporting the best in class category award. In parallel with the outstanding qualities of the winner, Savills is able to claim the widest new homes property market coverage in Scotland, better sales skills and a consultancy service unrivalled throughout the country.”
