Worthing had cause for celebration after a successful evening at the LABC Building Excellence Awards, on Friday 24th June.

 

The Beach Hotel & Residences, home to the new Premier Inn and a range of luxury apartments on Worthing’s seafront, took home the accolade for Best High Volume Housing Development.

 

The project was delivered in partnership by Westbrooke Developments Ltd, ECE Architecture Ltd and Roffey Homes. The award also came to the delight of Adur & Worthing Building Control Partnership, who managed the building control for the development.

 

Jane Eckford, Director for Customer Service at Adur & Worthing Councils, commented:

 

“This is a fabulous achievement for our seafront, and particularly for the Council’s Building Control team. Bringing a nationally recognised hotel brand to Worthing was a win in itself and we can take great pride in having the wider development commended. The team are very dedicated to working with developers to achieve our joint ambitions for the town. We’d like to send our congratulations to Westbrooke, ECE and Roffey Homes.”

 

The award comes in the South East regional category, with the winners progressing to compete nationally against winners from other parts on the country. 

 

The Building Excellence Awards focus on the vital elements that create excellent buildings, such as technical innovation, sustainability and performance, as well as working relationships which produce creative solutions.
