Wigan's Built in Quality Award is based on a national award scheme organised by LABC the national organisation which represents all 376 local authorities in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The Local Authority Building Control Built in Quality award is the only award of its type that covers all forms of building construction. Assessment is based on objective criteria. Those who are successful will have distinguished themselves as outstanding achievers in building construction in Wigan.
