Construction News Image
Homes for Scotland (HFS) has announced the shortlist for its 2025 awards programme, which this year coincides with the organisation's 25th anniversary.

The awards aim to recognise best practice and highlight the contributions of its members to Scotland's social wellbeing and economic growth.

The shortlist, available online, showcases companies that have impressed the independent judging panel. The 2025 awards programme theme is "Customers, Community and Commitment", with judges placing emphasis on these factors alongside the integration of policy and regulatory changes.

To ensure rigour, site visits will be conducted for all shortlisted companies in the Development of the Year categories. Senior management interviews will also be held to determine the Home Builder of the Year awards. The Supporting Member of the Year will be decided by a vote from the HFS membership.

The winners will be announced at the Homes for Scotland Annual Lunch, sponsored by Burness Paull, at the EICC on Friday 30 May. Over 800 senior sector representatives and guests are expected to attend the event.

HFS Chief Executive Jane Wood said: "By the time the winners of this year's awards are announced, it will have been more than 12 months since the national housing emergency was declared and it has never been harder to build the homes of all tenures required to meet the housing needs of all those living in Scotland. It is therefore more important then ever to recognise the great work that is being delivered in the face of enormous challenge, applaud the sector's resilience in doing so and support its ambitions to ensure everyone has a safe, sustainable place to call home."

Sarah Stanger, Chair of the independent judging panel and Senior Advisor at the Housing Growth Partnership, said: "With this now my fourth year of involvement in the awards, I have seen firsthand the importance and prestige which home builders attach to them so it is an honour to now be taking on the role of Chair, especially during Homes for Scotland's 25th anniversary year. Members are clearly recognising this special year with a 61% increase in the number of entries. Given the high level of the submissions, this has made the job of judging even more challenging but the whole panel is relishing the process and looking forward to getting out to sites and meeting those who are so obviously dedicated to delivering high quality places right across the country."
