Further recognition for Golden
Houses Developments' unique and successful approach
In only its sixth
year, Golden Houses Developments has been recognised once again for its
high-quality work in successfully fulfilling an unsatisfied need - prestigious,
high-end residential new builds and multi-unit developments.
The company has been shortlisted for the
following award categories for the National Federation of Builders (NFB) Awards
2018 and it is the only Finalist in entire Awards solely run by a Woman:
- Inspirational Individual Award – Monika
Slowikowska
- Training Programme of the Year Award
- Construction Employer of the Year Award
- House Builder of the Year Award
"It's overwhelming to have been nominated
in such a broad selection of awards." said the firm's founder and
director, Monika Slowikowska, "It shows that we have really got it right
with our underlying culture and ethos, not just design and construction."
This is even more evident given that the NFB
Award shortlist is drawn up by a panel of expert judges from a large number of
applicants.
This success comes hot on the heels of two
awards won in 2017 at the London Construction Awards. Golden Houses
Developments won the London Build Excellence Award and Monika won the Women in
Construction Award.
Started by Monika in 2012, Golden Houses takes a
different approach to building. It aims to reduce conflict throughout projects,
lowering costs and reducing timescales, which subsequently allows very high
standards of design, construction and finish - all of which she recognises is
very important to her clients.
A key element of her approach is to use in-house
teams rather than contractors wherever possible and teamwork is undoubtedly a
factor in the company's success, achieved in very competitive London’s market.
Turnover in year
four was six times that of the first year and the company has been featured on
Channel 4's Ugly House programme and has also made the cover of ELLE
Decoration.
Despite her recognition as the inspirational
driving force, Monika is quick to recognise everyone's contribution.
"I'm elated to be a finalist for all four
awards." she added, "Much of the company’s success is down to my talented
and loyal team, we really share a love for the work that we do. It
demonstrates the exceptionally high level of employee satisfaction within the
company which transfers to quality of my teams work and effectiveness”.
“The fact that Golden Houses
Developments is the only finalist in the entire awards solely run by a woman is
a victory for all women. It shows that we are great at what we do and work very
hard to achieve success but rarely we are recognised. When this happens, it
helps others to break ‘glass ceilings’ and believe in themselves. Thank you NFB
Awards to helping in that break.”
Monika also focusses on building excellent
customer relationships despite not having been able to speak English when she
arrived from8z Poland. She subsequently worked in engineering and construction
companies before launching Golden Houses.
The winners will be announced at a prestigious
awards ceremony at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, Sutton Coldfield, on Tuesday
27 March 2018.
