Integrated construction consultancy Avebury has been appointed to oversee the building of the UK's first BoKlok housing project.
The partnership exceeded the Government's targets and is on target to complete 537 environmentally and socially sustainable homes in record time and more cost effectively using lean construction principles.
A key benefit that impressed the judges was that bill costs have been reduced by 11% and that they are highly efficient to run, as they can be heated for under 1 pound per week.
Avebury Chairman Peter Muir said: "We are very proud to have been shortlisted for this award and together with our partner BPHA, we have delivered more for less in record time".
"This has a major impact on efficiency and demonstrated good practice that is replicable throughout the country." John Cross, Chief Executive of BPHA said: "We are delighted that the new housing has attracted such strong interest".
"We have had very positive feedback about the design, location and affordability of the properties, which shows that we are hitting the right mark.".
