Now in its sixth year, The Housebuilder Awards, supported by the Home Builders Federation (HBF), aims to recognise the best of innovation and excellence in the housebuilding industry. In winning the Sustainable Housebuilder of the Year award, The Berkeley Group demonstrated its sustainability credentials across the whole of its business from energy and water conservation to waste reduction and encouraging biodiversity.

The Berkeley Group, the UK's leading urban regenerator, has received five 2010 Building for Life standards.  The Building for Life scheme recognises commitment to high standards of building design and sustainable development nationwide.  Standards are awarded by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in partnership with the Home Building Federation (HBF).

The Building Awards, organised by Building Magazine are now in their 16th year and look to recognise the industry's top performers, encouraging sustained performance and further development throughout the sector. The Housebuilder of the Year Award is one of the premier prizes in the property industry; judges focus on several key aspects of the company including innovative approaches to design, sustainability practices in its business operation and projects, community involvement and new initiatives to increase sales. All aspects of the housebuilder's performance and previous achievements are assessed, from the number of sites built on Brownfield land to overall customer care and satisfaction.
