DANDARA Scotland is celebrating after being shortlisted in two categories at this year’s Premier Guarantee Excellence Awards, recognising outstanding achievements in housebuilding, site management and construction quality.
Colin Watson from Tranent is a finalist in the Site Manager of the Year segment. He manages Dandara Scotland’s The Pines development in Wallyford, East Lothian, and will represent the company at the national finals taking place in London in September.
The recognition continues a successful run for The Pines, which has previously won three Premier Guarantee awards and was nominated for Development of the Year (101-150) units in 2025.
Dandara Scotland’s Foxhall Gait development in Kirkliston, near Edinburgh, has been shortlisted in the Development of the Year category for sites with 101–150 units. Foxhall Gait is one of four developments competing for the title and will go head-to-head with another Dandara development, Braeburn Fields in Crowborough, East Sussex.
Lee Ogg, MD of Dandara Scotland, said, “To be shortlisted for one award is a fantastic achievement, but to receive recognition in two categories is truly exceptional. Colin’s nomination is a testament to his dedication, attention to detail and leadership. He has built an outstanding team at The Pines, and that commitment is reflected in the high-quality homes and thriving community that have been created there.
“We are equally proud of the team at Foxhall Gait. The development is now sold out and has become a flourishing new community for homeowners.”
