St Asaph-based Macbryde Homes has been named the Conwy Building Awards Volume Housebuilder of the Year in the over 10 houses category for a high quality development it has built at Rhos on Sea.

Fairways Park is a combination of two and three-bedroom mews houses and stylish apartments on Penrhyn Avenue in a quiet area of the resort town.

In all there are 91 properties, many of them classed as affordable homes, and so far almost all those on the first phase have been sold.

They are on land which once housed the depot for the trams that used to run along part of the sea front from Colwyn Bay to Llandudno and part of the second phase overlooks Rhos on Sea Golf Club.

Conwy County Borough Council’s head of building control Richard Tiedtke said: “It has been a really well run site and won the award for the high quality of workmanship there and for the way the site agent has always been ready for inspections and for the way he has worked with us in Building Control.

Simon Macbryde, managing director of Macbryde Homes, said: “We’re delighted to have won this award and very proud of this project.

“We do a wide variety of work and we always believe in working closely with the local building control officers and we have a particularly good working relationship with Conw.” Mr MacBryde added.

His son, Tom, has been one of the site agents at Fairways Park, and he said: “We’ve worked very well with Conwy Building Control and it’s a very proactive relationship.”

Mr Tiedtke added: “We think it is important to give a pat on the back where it is well deserved and that’s certainly the case with the work that Macbryde Homes have done here.

“We want to raise standards in construction and everyone likes to be told they’ve done a good job.”
