We are delighted to announce that our Swindon-based development, Electra & Guild House, has been shortlisted as a finalist for the West of England LABC Building Excellence Awards 2017 for the ‘Best Change of Use of an Existing Building or Conversion’ category.
MCR Homes was delighted to turn the disused office space into much needed homes and earlier this year, Electra & Guild House was awarded with the LABC award for ‘Best Flat Conversion of 2017’. This was for our work on the contemporary development that boasts modern interior layouts in all of its Studio, One and Two-Bedroom apartments.
The Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Building Excellence Awards celebrate the vital elements needed for the creation of excellent buildings. The largest business to business awards in the building control sector, the LABC awards recognise quality in all types of building projects. They reward excellent buildings, outstanding companies, and partnerships and individuals that go that extra mile.
What LABC look for:
• High levels of compliance with building regulations
• Effective working relationships with LABC surveyors
• Outstanding craftsmanship
• Technical innovation
• Sustainability and high performance
• Ability to solve technical problems with creative solutions
• Use of innovative products and the skills to overcome difficult site conditions
The MCR Homes team are looking forward to attending the West of England LABC Building Excellence Awards ceremony in Bristol on July 14th where the winners will be announced.
The award-winning development, now with 80% sold, is projected to be a very strong investment both in terms of yields and capital growth. Swindon town centre continues to expand through inward investment, new infrastructure and a growing commuter population; which provides the perfect opportunity for savvy investors.
