The British Safety Council’s International Safety Awards is the health and safety industry’s most prestigious award scheme. It recognises organisations that have demonstrated commitment to occupational health, safety and wellbeing, regardless of their size or the sector they operate in. Croudace is proud to have achieved a Distinction in the 2024 awards.
Croudace Homes is a proud recipient of the prestigious 5 Star rating for customer satisfaction, presented by the Home Builders Federation (HBF). The key measure of this performance is the National New Homes Customer Satisfaction Survey, an independent poll carried out amongst new homes purchasers by the (HBF) and the National House Building Council (NHBC). For the twelfth year in a row, in 2024 we maintained our position in the top echelon of the housebuilding activity for product quality and customer service. Over the past 12 months, over 90% of Croudace customers, as independently polled by the NHBC, would recommend that their friends buy one of our homes.
The RoSPA Gold Award rewards companies for their high levels of safety performance, in addition to well-developed occupational health and safety management systems, an outstanding culture of risk control and low levels of error, harm and loss. Croudace was delighted to achieve a 2022 Gold Award for our developments Blakemore Manor in Hertford and Kings Weald in Burgess Hill.
The annual Brick Awards celebrate the best examples of clay brick in the built environment. Alongside evidence of sound architecture and craftsmanship, the winning house builder must demonstrate outstanding contribution to the industry, evidenced in a range of categories including: apprenticeships, training, quality assurance, sustainability and commitment to health and safety. Croudace Homes was awarded the Housebuilder Award in the Brick Awards 2022.
