A builder whose customer described the construction of his new home "a pleasure" has won one of the building industry's highest accolades. Michael Galloway of M. G. Construction, Downpatrick, County Down, was awarded a Master Builder of the Year 2000 Building Excellence Award from Cheryl Baker at a special ceremony in London today (5th December).
The Master Builder of the Year is unique because customers are invited to nominate their favourite builders. Quality of workmanship, running to schedule, meeting the budget and a good attitude to providing a high level of customer service, all score highly with the award judges in selecting the UK's best builders and craftsmen.
"All the workers took pride in their work and looked after the house as if it were theirs,"
said owner of the new property, Mark King of Clough, Downpatrick.
"All aspects of the project were dealt with in a friendly and professional manner and nothing we asked was too much bother, making the whole experience a pleasure."
The outstanding house, featuring traditional timber sash windows, under floor heating and a triple garage, led client, Mark King, to nominate him for the building industry's highest accolade. The builders, M.G Construction, were one of hundreds of companies singled out by their satisfied customers for skill and a commitment to service.
The Master Builder of the Year scheme 2000 - sponsored by leading industry body, the Federation of Master Builders, and Jewson, the UK's largest timber, builders' and plumbers' merchant - was established three years ago to highlight the quality and standard of building in the UK.
Michael Galloway was presented with his prize, a Renault Kangoo van, at an awards lunch at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London. Client, Mark King was rewarded with a £1,500 luxury holiday for nominating the successful builder.
