A site manager praised for his commitment to "building houses of outstanding quality" has scooped a construction accolade in the NHBC Pride In The Job Awards.

John Sutherland, of Huntly-based Deveron Construction Limited will accept his prize in Glasgow in October, and hope to win further "seal of excellence" and "regional" awards.

The awards scheme's website states: "Pride in the Job winners always have one thing in common - meticulous and consistent attention to detail. To win, they must score highly for the quality of workmanship on their site at every stage of the build. They must also demonstrate excellent leadership, technical expertise, robust health and safety processes and a certain 'X' factor!"


NHBC Pride in the Job honours site managers for the unique contribution they make in delivering high quality homes and managing projects from inception to completion.

John was chosen for his work at Deveron Homes' Cairn View development of EcoSmart homes in Kemnay, Aberdeenshire.

Alan Murray of the company said: "I would like to thank John for his outstanding commitment to our company. He has helped us build an enviable reputation for excellence both in delivering an outstanding product, but more importantly, in providing first-class customer care. He has an exceptional commitment to building houses of exceptional quality."
