Tim Hare wins construction manager of the year for work on 拢165m redevelopment of Regent Palace Hotel in Piccadill

Sir Robert McAlpine, Dixon Jones, Quadrant 3, Crown Estate

A construction manager at contractor Sir Robert McAlpine has been awarded the title of Construction Manager of the Year by the Chartered Institute of 黑洞社区.

Tim Hare was given the title for his work on the 拢165m redevelopment of the grade two listed Regent Palace Hotel in Piccadilly, London into office, retail and residential space.

The project, called Quadrant 3, was delivered four months ahead of schedule and 20% under budget with no accidents to staff. To do this the team had to complete one of London鈥檚 biggest asbestos removal jobs and deal with a permanently flooded basement while maintaining the building鈥檚 art deco finishes.

The task was completed using BIM on all structures and services to avoid clashes, aid prefabrication and safety.

Chris Blythe, chief executive at the CIOB, said: 鈥淭im鈥檚 achievement was made more brilliant by the manner in which he earned it. Quiet, level headed and sure, he dominated the project through collaboration.

鈥淗e recognised the contribution each member of his team and the wider site workforce could make, and gave them the space and the belief to give their best.鈥
