Constructing Excellence In The Built Environment Awards

Stride Treglown is proud to be part of the 'Trust Partnering Team' that was presented with the national 'Integration & Collaborative Working Award' at the Constructing Excellence in the Built Environment National Awards on 13th November, held at Lords Cricket Ground Pavilion, London.

This national accolade follows the team winning the Constructing Excellence South West 'Integration & Collaborative Working Award' in April 2008, where they and their client VOSA (Vehicle and Operator Services Agency) were also short listed for three other awards. The Judges were looking for examples of procurement, systematic project management, collaboration up and down the supply chain, integrated logistics, as well as evidence of improvement flowing from these interventions.

The 'Trust Partnering Team' is made up of design consultants, the main contractor and key sub-contractors who have worked collaboratively with VOSA to deliver a rolling programme of replacement and refurbishment to selected heavy goods vehicle test stations across the UK.   Through collaboration and integrated working the 'Trust Partnering Team' have been able to deliver continued improvements in quality, cost and time on site, as well as improved environmental suitability, through the programme of works. The recently completed new station at Avonmouth, Bristol has achieved a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating.

The 'Trust Partnering Team' is made up of Stride Treglown (architects), Craddy Pitchers Davidson (project managers, civil and structural engineers), BJP Consultants (building services engineers), Alan Ducker & Co Ltd (quantity surveyors), Hookway Partnership (quantity surveyors), Henry Vale Ltd (CDM coordinators), Britcon (main contractors) and IES & Online (M&E sub-contractors), working with VOSA as client.
