After receiving the award, Robin Jeffery, Hambleside's vice chairman, said: "We are delighted that our continued growth in Inverness on a sustainable basis is being recognised".
"Hambleside Danelaw is hoping that more contractors and building occupiers will support the construction of buildings designed and built to minimise the impact on the environment".
Hambleside Danelaw has also moved into a new state-of-the-art factory in Daventry which incorporates the very best in environmental management systems.
The new facility features the group's Insulator rooflights across approximately 20% of the roof area which allows for considerable reduction in energy costs.
The rooflights are insulated using an 80mm transparent honeycomb core, also manufactured by the company in Daventry, to provide a U value of 0.8 W/mK.
In addition, the enhanced levels of natural light coming through reduces the need for artificial lighting, further cutting energy costs.
