Descriptions of Partnership Category

By “partnership” we mean any on-going relationship between a LABC team and a member of the construction team. This need not be a formalised Partnership, or involve any contractual relationship; it is simply defined as two parties who have worked well together.

The award recognises an on-going relationship between a member of the design or construction team and a Local Authority Building Control department. If you have developed a good relationship with your building control department, (or vice versa), this is the category for you. The size of the organisations involved does not matter.

The award will focus more on the strengths of the partnership rather than individual schemes produced by it. The schemes can be constructed anywhere in the country, as long as the partnership involves a LABC team based in the region you are nominating to. You can also nominate exceptional individual schemes constructed in a region in one of the project or design categories for that region.
