Staff members from PCMS Design were absolutely delighted to receive a ‘Highly Commended’ award at the 2015 LABC Central Building Excellence ceremony on Friday evening, which was presented for the ‘Best Partnership with a Local Authority Building Control Team’. This was in recognition of the close links we share with our partnership authority, Central Bedfordshire Council.

Our team attended the ceremony at Double Tree by Hilton hotel in Milton Keynes, which saw a gathering together of local construction industry leaders, clients and building control departments.

It’s not the first time that PCMS Design has been nominated for an LABC award. We have previously been finalists for ‘Best Educational Development’ and ‘Best Sustainable Project’. The presentations recognise building excellence in the delivery of outstanding construction and workmanship.

LABC is an organisation which exists to represent all local authority building control teams in England and Wales. There are over 3,000 professional surveyors and building technicians within local authorities up and down the country.

LABC President Peter Keates commented: “PCMS Design has worked in a partnership with our building control team at Central Bedfordshire Council for a number of years, and I am very pleased that they have been highly commended this year.”
