National winner: Home Republic Limited
Over the past two years, Home Republic Limited has focused on developing talent within their team, addressing a clear skills gap in the residential sector for small and medium-sized businesses. This commitment has included enrolling six junior team
leaders in site management courses and supporting senior managers in achieving NVQ5, NVQ6, and other leadership qualifications. Operatives are also offered a range of training opportunities, both onsite and in the office, equipping them to manage multiple projects effectively.
The company has also developed an innovative app to track surplus materials across London sites, helping managers minimise waste. Additional features include equipment inventories and location tracking, enabling supervisors to save time and increase productivity. A timesheet function is currently being integrated to improve workforce tracking, automate record keeping, support data analysis, and plan trade rotations more efficiently.
Investment in researching sustainable solutions has strengthened the team’s ability to advise clients, source eco-friendly materials, and deliver more sustainable homes. Over this period, they have completed more than thirty-five projects, expanding their portfolio and experience. Their passion is driven by the diversity of projects and the unique perspectives their clients bring.
Building and maintaining strong client relationships is central to the company’s growth. They adopt a strategic approach to ensure every client feels informed and supported, offering early budget estimates, regular progress updates, and detailed responses with tailored options and recommendations. As a result, positive reviews and word-of-mouth referrals continue to drive their growth, inspiring them to raise standards and enhance their services further.
