Ben Winter, a site manager for Newland Homes, has achieved Chartered Construction Manager status, earning the title of Member of the Chartered Institute of Building (MCIOB). 

Ben said: “I have always sought opportunities to develop myself and improve my work. Becoming a Chartered Construction Manager is a major step in my career, and I am thrilled to have earned MCIOB recognition. This achievement allows me to perform my role with enhanced professionalism, focusing on improving safety, quality, and productivity on site. I’m grateful to Newland Homes for supporting me in this journey, and I look forward to continuing to grow with the company in the years to come.” 

The MCIOB qualification is recognised globally as the ‘gold standard’ for professionals working in construction project management. Achieving Chartered status involves a rigorous assessment of competence, experience, and professional knowledge. It also demonstrates the highest level of integrity, ethical practice, and leadership within the construction sector. Chartered Construction Managers are recognised for their ability to drive improvements in construction quality, safety, and project delivery, making the designation a mark of distinction within the industry. 

Ian Hughes (MCIOB), associate construction director at Newland Homes, commented: “We were delighted to sponsor Ben in achieving this significant qualification. Becoming a Chartered Construction Manager demonstrates Ben’s expertise and dedication to the industry. Newland Homes is committed to investing in people, and Ben’s success exemplifies how we nurture talent to retain skilled staff and drive innovation across the business.” 

Winter is currently managing the construction of Kempster’s Reach in Worton, the award-winning housebuilder’s latest development of zero-carbon two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes, set to launch in early 2025.
