We’re thrilled to share news that reinforces what our homeowners already know – when you choose a Risby home, you’re choosing award-winning quality that’s been recognised by the industry’s most respected organisations.
This month, we’ve been honoured with two prestigious awards that celebrate the exceptional standards we maintain across all our developments: the Premier Guarantee Excellence Award for The Vines in Cottingham and the NHBC Pride In The Job Quality Award for Figham Gate II in Beverley.
The Risby difference: three decades of recognition
These latest accolades add to an impressive collection spanning over a decade. Since 2011, we’ve consistently earned industry recognition:
From our early NHBC awards at Keldgate Bar in Beverley to the multiple regional and national honours at our Welton development and through to recent recognition at Shepherd’s Rest and Westcote Fold in South Cave – the pattern is clear. Quality isn’t something we achieve occasionally; it’s something we deliver consistently, development after development.
As Mark Barrett, our Managing Director and founder, explains: “These awards represent recognition of the entire Risby team’s dedication to excellence. From our award-winning site managers to our skilled craftspeople and suppliers, everyone plays a vital role in ensuring every home we build meets the highest standards.”
Building excellence into every detail
What sets award-winning developments apart isn’t luck or chance, it’s the systematic pursuit of excellence in every aspect of construction. At The Vines in Cottingham, this meant honouring the site’s agricultural heritage while creating 57 unique homes that celebrated both tradition and contemporary living.
The development’s thoughtful design preserved mature trees while incorporating generous gardens, creating natural community spaces that encouraged neighbourhood interaction. Traditional Yorkshire materials such as local brick, natural stone details and slate-style roofing complemented Cottingham’s existing architecture while incorporating all the contemporary elements modern families desire.
At Figham Gate II in Beverley, our intimate development in the shadow of Beverley Minster, award-winning quality is evident in every carefully positioned home. Set close to woodland and thoughtfully designed to maintain privacy, this development represents our commitment to creating communities that enhance their historic surroundings.
The personal touch that makes a difference.
Olly Barrett, our Construction Director, explains: “Quality has always been at the heart of everything we do. These awards validate our approach of including premium features as standard rather than treating luxury as an expensive extra.”
This philosophy extends to every aspect of the Risby experience. While other developers might offer basic specifications and charge extra for upgrades, we believe exceptional quality should be standard. That’s why every Risby home includes bespoke granite worktops, premium oak internal doors, underfloor heating throughout, integrated NEFF appliances and much more.
What these awards really mean
Industry awards aren’t just certificates on the office wall – they’re independent validation of the quality and care that goes into every Risby home. The Premier Guarantee Excellence Award recognises developers who consistently achieve the highest standards of construction quality and customer service, while the NHBC Pride In The Job Quality Award acknowledges outstanding build quality and site management.
These awards matter because they represent rigorous, independent assessments by organisations that work with hundreds of developers across the country.
What this means for you
When you’re considering your next home, industry recognition provides invaluable peace of mind. These awards confirm that choosing a Risby home means choosing:
- Proven Quality Standards – Independent assessment by respected industry bodies validates our construction methods and attention to detail.
- Consistent Excellence – Our track record shows that quality isn’t a one-off achievement but a sustained commitment across all developments.
- Long-term Value – Award-winning homes typically maintain their value better and provide superior living experiences for years to come.
- Skilled Craftsmanship – Recognition of our site managers and construction teams confirms you’re getting homes built by proven professionals.
Your award-winning home awaits
Currently, we have homes available at our award-winning Figham Gate II development in Beverley, starting from £300,000. Each property embodies the same commitment to excellence that earned us industry recognition.
A legacy of excellence
After three decades of building exceptional homes across East Yorkshire, these latest awards reaffirm our position as one of the region’s most trusted developers. From our first development in Beverley in 1993 to creating 21 thriving communities across the region, quality has remained our unwavering commitment.
