Robertson Homes site managers recognised by NHBC for raising standards in house building

We are proud to announce that three Robertson Homes site managers have been recognised as being among the best in the UK after each picked up a top housing industry award.

Greig Donaldson, who works at our Almondell development in West Lothian, Eddie McCann, who is based at our Meadowside development in Bo’ness, and Michael Rowbotham, from our Wynyard Woods site in Stockton-on-Tees, are celebrating their Pride in the Job 2025 Quality Awards from NHBC, the UK’s largest provider of new home warranties and insurance.

Now in its 45th year and widely considered the ‘Oscars’ of the house-building industry, Pride in the Job celebrates site managers’ dedication to raising standards in house building, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence.

Judging is rigorous, with assessment across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Thousands of inspections, with meticulous scoring and detailed verifications, have taken place to determine the 450 winners from a field of circa 8,200 sites, representing the top 5% of UK site managers.

Celebrating their success, John Murphy, Managing Director at Robertson Homes, said: “We are immensely proud of all of our winners and thankful to our supporting construction teams. Greig, Michael and Eddie have all shown exceptional leadership and the awards are testament to their skill and attention to detail, which is what we strive to deliver at every Robertson Homes development.”

Andy Dodds, Regional Director at Robertson Homes North East England, added: “It is great news for our customers that their new homes are being built by construction teams so focussed on quality. I know from seeing what Michael has achieved at Wynyard Woods the levels required to win a Pride in the Job award so congratulations to all three of our winners."

Commenting on the awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said: “Congratulations to Greig, Eddie and Michael who have demonstrated the dedication, passion and leadership skills necessary to deliver new homes to exacting construction quality standards.

“Thousands of outstanding site managers have made their mark on the industry in the 45 years Pride in the Job has been running. This continued focus on excellence is vital to support the Government’s 1.5 million new homes target and to ensure that all housing is built to the quality owners and occupiers should expect.”

Pride in the Job has five categories: small, medium and large builders, plus multi-storey for projects up to seven storeys and high-rise for projects more than seven storeys.

The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2026.
