Veretec wins 2017 AJ100 Executive Architect of the Year
Veretec, a subsidiary of the Aukett Swanke Group, has again won
the Architect's Journal 'AJ100 Executive Architect of the Year' in
2017, for the second year since the inaugural award in 2016.
This accolade, which recognises excellence within the specialist
field of Executive Architecture, was awarded at a function at the
Tower of London on the 13(th) of July.
The award citation noted two particular projects: One Love Lane
in London's EC2, which was delivered with concept architects Stiff
+ Trevillion, while The Passage in Victoria was completed in
collaboration with BuckleyGrayYeoman.
The Judges noted innovations by the practice in project
administration as well as the development of processes which
ultimately created more value in the projects. They also stated
that 'these projects could not have been done without a deep level
of trust and co-operation.'
Veretec's growth over recent years, as well as the recognition
of the quality of its work in awards such as this, reflects a shift
in market conditions which have affected the procurement of both
construction and design services. A move towards prefabrication and
the increasing adoption of Building Information Modelling are
driven by a desire to reduce risk and increase value in development
projects in an unpredictable market. Both processes evidence a move
away from more traditional approaches to design, procurement and
construction.
Veretec, as a separately branded, experienced and specialist
subsidiary is well placed to take advantage of these changes but is
also increasingly able to convert potential instructions given a
demonstrable commitment to a design-led, deep collaboration with
other consultants. The recognition afforded by these awards has
also assisted in the recruitment of talented and experienced staff
who will help secure the ability of the practice to maintain its
hard won reputation.
Aukett Swanke Group CEO Nicholas Thompson said "We are delighted
by this outstanding achievement and its endorsement of Veretec's
work as we pursue our strategy of expanding non-traditional areas
of activity in the architectural world."
