The Scottish Home Awards, Scotland's most esteemed platform for new build housing, once again shone a spotlight on the nation’s top house builders, underscoring their significant contributions to the industry.
Last night in Glasgow, 600 guests attended the Scottish Home Awards, sponsored by Ross & Liddell, to honour the housing industry’s accomplishments. The 17th annual event celebrated 19 housebuilding companies for their excellence in construction, sustainability and customer care.
Robertson Homes, for the second year in a row, was awarded the most prestigious title of the night: Scottish House Builder of the Year (More than 100 units). Their simple, high-quality, sustainable builds and successful land acquisitions were unanimously praised by the judges. They also took home the House of the Year award for The Jacobson Garden Room, further solidifying their position as a leader in the industry.
Fotheringham Homes was honoured with the Housebuilder of the Year (Less than 100 units) award, one of three accolades they received during the evening. They also won the Community Contribution Award and Show Home of the Year, marking a remarkable achievement for the company this year.
Ayrshire Housing was named Housing Association of the Year. The judges praised them for their effective use of local community areas and their outstanding adaptive reuse of space in one of their developments.
CCG Scotland was the winner of Excellence in Sustainability, sponsored by Kohler Mira, for its innovative sustainability ideas and for really thinking about whole-life carbon.
The Scottish Home Awards, in addition to celebrating the achievements of the housing industry, also play a significant role in supporting the charity It’s Good 2 Give. The awards contribute to the management of The Ripple Retreat, a luxury residential retreat on the shores of Loch Venacher in Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. This award-winning designer home is a gift to young cancer patients and their families, providing them with short stay holidays throughout the year.
