The project manager of a new housing development in Great Dunmow has been acknowledged with two industry awards.
Adam Hawkes, project manager at Bellway's Sapphire Fields at Great Dunmow Grange development in Essex, was announced as the winner of the Pride in the Job Regional Award for the National House Building Council's (NHBC) south east region.
The award, as well as a Seal of Excellence, was given to Mr Hawkes at a ceremony held at the Doubletree by Hilton in Brighton on Friday, October 25.
The NHBC runs the Pride in the Job awards annually, with each of its registered construction sites in the running for awards.
This year, 449 Quality Awards were given to site managers nationally.
The recipients of its Seal of Excellence awards were chosen from among those 449, and the "very best site managers in each region" were selected for the Regional Award.
It is the first year that Mr Hawkes, from Burnham-on-Crouch, has received a Pride in the Job Award, although he was part of the team at Sapphire Fields that was recognised with a Quality Award last year.
He said: "I would like to say a huge thank you to the NHBC and the independent inspectors for the awards that I received on Friday.
"I feel truly honoured and grateful for the recognition that myself, my site team, and the sub-contractors who work at Sapphire Fields have been given.
"And finally, thank you to everyone at Bellway who have put their trust, faith, and belief in me to run their sites."
Mr Hawkes will now go on to compete in the Pride in the Job Supreme Awards, which will be announced early next year.
Bellway Essex construction director Paul Feeney said: "This is a phenomenal achievement from Adam.
