Oakland Grove, a new development by Elivia Homes in Chiddingfold, Surrey, has achieved The Bricks Site Recognition Award by LABC Warranty for August, for its standards of workmanship and management of the site.
Sites are scored by risk management surveyors during inspection visits, which take place regularly throughout key stages of construction.
Oakland Grove is a boutique collection of 12 new homes, eight of which are private and one home available under the Government’s First Homes scheme, helping first time buyers to get on the property ladder. The properties range from two to five-bedroom family houses, surrounded by countryside. The site will incorporate the latest eco features including sustainably sourced timber-frame construction, superior levels of insulation, air source heat pumps and electric vehicle charging points.
Jack Biggerstaff, Managing Director for Elivia Homes Central, said: “We are incredibly proud that Oakland Grove has been recognised with The Bricks Site Recognition Award. This award is a real testament to the hard work, attention to detail and commitment to quality shown by our site team and partners. Oakland Grove is a boutique development, combining exceptional design with the latest sustainable building methods, and this recognition underlines our ambition to deliver homes of the highest standard. A very well-deserved well done to site manager Dan Frost and the rest of the team!”
LABC Warranty is one of the largest providers of structural warranties in the UK. Its combined team of more than 3,700 surveyors work with house builders, contractors and housing associations.
Sarah Sheppard, Technical Director at LABC Warranty, said: “It takes skill, commitment and a dedication to quality of construction for a site to receive The Bricks Site Recognition Award. Nothing pleases my team and I more than to see developments meet and maintain such high standards.”
Bricks Site Recognition Award winners are chosen every month and are then further shortlisted at the end of the year, where only the best of those sites can secure the Bricks Development of the Year trophy, one of the construction industry’s most prestigious awards given to outstanding sites in England and Wales.
Construction at Oakland Grove is still ongoing, and the development will be launching in October 2025.
