St Andrews West receives UK-wide Excellence Award for quality

HeadonS1 has become the first Scottish-based builder since 2019 to secure a Development of the Year award from Premier Guarantee.
The firm’s St Andrews West development was recognised as Development of the Year (1 – 50 units) at the Premier Guarantee Excellence Awards 2025.

The UK-wide award is based on strict judging criteria where categories such as the quality of the workmanship, site management and health and safety are regularly critiqued by Premier Guarantee Inspectors.
Joe Headon of HeadonS1 said: “It is a great honour to receive the Excellence Award from Premier Guarantee. It is credit to all the team involved and, in particular, the S1 site team who day in, day out strive to drive quality. To be recognised as the best in the UK is a fitting reward for their efforts.

“Headon S1 have strived to be at the forefront of design and sustainability at St Andrews West as well as innovation with an underground bin system. For our purchasers to know the build quality is now recognised as excellent is a further endorsement of the homes that are being delivered.”
The Premier Guarantee Excellence Award was presented at a ceremony in London last Friday, with The Townhouse at St Andrews West awarded the Best Family Home (Large) at The Herald Property Awards in Glasgow last Thursday.

Both awards follow a Homes for Scotland Commendation for the Best Development earlier this year and Scottish Home Awards Small Housing Development of the Year in 2024.
