It’s with great pride that DBSJ has been shortlisted for two Construction News Specialists awards: the Fit-Out Specialist of the Year award, and Project of the Year by a Specialist Contractor award.
The 20th annual Construction News Specialists awards recognise excellence amongst the very best in the industry, with categories celebrating outstanding projects, technical innovations and forward-thinking companies.
For the Fit-Out Specialist of the Year award, DBSJ has been shortlisted for the purposeful approach towards creating exceptional interiors, together with customers, through clarity, collaboration, and with a genuine commitment to their best interests.
The team, who pride themselves on supporting the next generation of joiners, have navigated significant growth since 2022, delivering 46 schemes for Specsavers, 19 for Headlam, 24 for IWG and their partners alongside many bespoke projects with multiple snag-free handovers. And all this without compromising on health & safety, quality, sustainability and team wellbeing.
For the Project of the Year by a Specialist Contractor award (subcontract from £2m to £5m) DBSJ has been shortlisted for its phase 1 work on The Engine Room at Battersea Power Station, IWG plc’s flagship co-working space in the UK. From inception, DBSJ assisted IWG through the legal process, collaborated on its business case and explored value-engineered options to ensure viability of the project.
The 42,000ft2 interior transformation was a masterclass in DBSJ’s innovative, integrated joinery and fit-out approach. With seamless communication to bring together refined materials whilst navigating Grade II listed building regulations, the project is a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.
DBSJ Directors Laurence Hill and Joe Pearson said:
“We are so proud to have been shortlisted for both awards in recognition of the exceptional work we have delivered through collaboration with our partners, whose success is so vital to our business.
Above all, being shortlisted will be such a boost for our passionate team, who consistently deliver exceptional service and talent, and who live our values and goals to the fullest.”
The winners will be announced at The Construction News Specialists Awards ceremony, which is held on 5th September 2024 at The Royal Lancaster Hotel, London.
