At the Construction Awards of Excellence 2020, a prestigious awards scheme that covers the whole of the country, John Perkins Construction was named Building Contractor of the Year: England (Turnover Under £15m).
The awards are spearheaded by the National Federation of Builders (NFB) and chaired by Lord Stunell, Liberal Democrat peer and spokesman for construction in the Lords. They are run and judged entirely independently, in order to celebrate expertise, commitment and innovation in the construction industry.
The judges praised John Perkins Construction’s “approach to industry collaboration” and “the way the company inspires the next generation and promotes new entrants into the industry”. They concluded that the way JPC approaches its work is “the direction the whole industry should be heading”.
YMCA Highbridge, an extensive new facility for YMCA Dulverton Group in Highbridge, Somerset, incorporating a community hub, café, sports facility, and homes for vulnerable people, was shortlisted for an LABC Building Excellence Award 2020 in the Best Large Commercial Project category.
The 2020 Somerset Building Control Partnership Building Excellence Awards named YMCA Highbridge as the Best Large Commercial Project, in a win commended by principal contractor John Perkins Construction.
The awards celebrate construction projects and tradespeople across Sedgemoor, Mendip, Taunton Deane and West Somerset, where building control officers note instances of outstanding work.
The £3.1m YMCA Highbridge project saw the redevelopment of a Grade-II-listed hotel, which dated back to the 18th century but had been ravaged by fires and left derelict. The listed building restrictions remained in place and so the existing façade’s historical features were replicated, albeit within a modern and accessible building.
Only one Most Considerate Site award is given out each year in the £1-5m size bracket, so it was a shock and an honour when Site Manager Hayden Pickett and the John Perkins team were recognised in such a significant way.
The winning project was the £2m+ extension and refurbishment of Hutton CE Primary School in Weston-super-Mare. John Perkins Construction was recognised for its community engagement, creative approach traffic management, and strength in getting the school’s students involved.

John Perkins Construction won the Member of the Year – Central and West Award, after being nominated by BSG (Building Safety Group) inspectors in recognition of excellent site Health & Safety.
