CALA Homes took the top award of the night at this year’s Homes for Scotland awards ceremony, which was recently held in Edinburgh.
The company was crowned Home Builder of the Year in front of a crowd of 1,100 industry representatives and their guests, having shortlisted three different developments across its East and West divisions.
CALA also went on to win awards in the private development small and medium categories for Riverside at Bothwell, Lanarkshire and The Crescent at Donaldson’s, located within the capital’s UNESCO World Heritage site. A commendation was also granted for the large development category for 21 Mansionhouse Road in Glasgow.
Judges were said to be impressed by both the diversity of product on display within CALA’s submitted project and the passion of the CALA team, which was witnessed during the site visit and interview stage.
Nicola Barclay, chief executive of trade body Homes for Scotland commented, “Every year our independent panel of judges tell us that that they face the most difficult of tasks – deciding upon the winners of these highly-esteemed accolades from a shortlist which showcases the best the industry has to offer.
“I am therefore hugely encouraged that this has proven to be the case again this year. From well thought-out examples of placemaking and architectural design quality to the innovation demonstrated within individual company practices, our sector has much to celebrate.
“I thank all those who took the time to enter and congratulate all finalists and those taking the top spots for highlighting the good work that is being undertaken both individually and collaboratively to deliver more of the homes Scotland requires right across the country.”
