Cadam Construction Group has received prestigious awards at the LABC Building Excellence Awards, celebrating its very own director Cain Green and its new-build office and storage premises, Cadam Court.
Cain speaks to unLTD’s Rachel Measures about how the business got there and what it means for their future.
Cadam Construction, a Chartered Building Company, has provided professional services delivering turnkey projects of exceptional quality to clients across a wide range of sectors and industries for seven years.
Working closely with their clients from the initial stages of their project to routine and reactive maintenance, the team provide a professional, honest and prompt service. Their focus on commercial and residential developments draws upon years of experience and a vast supplier framework, so all their projects are completed to a high quality.
The company has received prestigious awards at the South Yorkshire and Humber Local Authority Building Control (LABC) Building Excellence Awards.
The LABC represents all local authority building control teams in England and Wales and its Building Excellence Awards celebrate outstanding projects and individual contributions to the construction industry.
The awards focus on the best in technical innovation and construction quality, helping raise the level of construction quality across England and Wales. They particularly look for creative solutions to sustainability and energy efficiency as part of the criteria to choose their regional winners.
Lee Rourke, principal building control officer, said: “The nominations were judged by Building Control professionals from Sheffield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Hull, North Lincolnshire and Northeast Lincolnshire Council.
“Despite facing severe competition against nominations from all these authorities, to be successful with both of his nominations is testament to the high quality of workmanship and compliance from the Cadam Croup.”
Cadam Construction Group achieved Best Professional, awarded to Cain Green, and Best Commercial Building, awarded to their premises in Rotherham.
Cain said: “I have over 20 years of experience in development and main contracting construction and I’ve been involved in projects across the region, working closely with Rotherham Building Control for 15 years and Rotherham Chamber since I founded the Cadam Group in 2015.
“However, as I run the group and give full credit to our team, I see these awards as about the company more than they are about me. Looking to the future, our new HQ is a big part of this.”
Cadam Court, the business’ headquarters, was showcased as a hybrid building that integrates a raft of renewables and achieved an ‘as built’ EPC ‘A’ rating.
Solar and heat recovery renewables were introduced to the building – rainwater harvesting was designed to save water, and site levels were lifted by importing 65Nr 20T loads of spoil to minimise the need for landfill. Underfloor heating, a heat recovery ventilation system and an air course heat pump were all part of a mechanical package added to the project.
Site inspections were undertaken and together with Rotherham Building Control, the aim was that the building would have lower running costs and a lesser environmental impact.
Cain said: “The bespoke hybrid office and storage building was built to allow us to expand and increase our turnover within the LABC Yorkshire and Humberside Region and beyond.
“We now have a good foundation to expand into regional commercial main contracting and new build housing development. We will use the new office and the awards as a springboard for growth.”
After a three-year planning and land purchase process, Cadam’s next big project includes the development of 24 luxury new homes at Thorpe Hesley in Rotherham.
