Delta Facades Wins Willmott Dixon Monthly Quality Award at Queen Mary University

We're delighted to share that Razvan, our Site Manager on the Queen Mary University of London facade package, has been awarded Willmott Dixon's Monthly Quality Award for July 2026. The recognition was presented on site in acknowledgement of the consistently high standard of installation, workmanship and quality control our team has delivered throughout the project.

About Willmott Dixon's Monthly Quality Award

Willmott Dixon is one of the UK's leading privately-owned contractors, with a reputation built on "building excellence" — a company-wide programme that treats quality as non-negotiable rather than an afterthought. Their Monthly Quality Awards sit at the heart of this culture. Each month, site teams nominate individuals and subcontractors whose work stands out for craftsmanship, attention to detail, right-first-time delivery and a demonstrable commitment to getting the fundamentals right — before the covers go on and before the client walks the building.

For a specialist facade installer, being recognised through this programme is meaningful. Willmott Dixon's site management teams see every trade, every day. The award reflects sustained performance, not a single good week.

Why It Matters at Queen Mary

The Queen Mary University of London package is a technically demanding scheme with a mix of unitised curtain walling, rainscreen cladding and window installations across an occupied campus. That combination puts real pressure on:

• Setting-out accuracy — cills, brackets and interfaces have to be right the first time; there's no room to hide a 5 mm error behind a bead of sealant.
• Sequencing and protection — the facade envelope has to stay watertight and undamaged while follow-on trades work behind it.
• Fire-stopping and compartmentation — every horizontal and vertical cavity barrier has to be installed exactly to the tested detail, photographed, and signed off.
• Documentation — Golden Thread evidence, ITPs, hold points and benchmark sign-offs are captured as work proceeds, not retrofitted at handover.

Razvan and the installation team have been holding that standard week in, week out — and Willmott Dixon's site management noticed.

Installing Safely, Building Right

Quality and safety aren't separate conversations on a facade project — they're the same conversation. A bracket that's fixed correctly is a bracket that stays put. A cavity barrier installed to the tested detail is a cavity barrier that performs in a fire. A MEWP operated by a properly trained installer is one that gets the team home at the end of the shift.

Recognition like this reinforces the standards we ask our teams to hold every day:

• CSCS-carded, GQA-qualified installers on every gang.
• Manufacturer-trained on the specific systems being installed — not generic experience.
• Independent third-party inspection on critical interfaces, with photographic records.
• Toolbox talks and pre-task briefings that focus on the actual detail being installed that day.
• A stop-work culture — anyone on our team can pause the work if something isn't right.

Thank You

Congratulations to Razvan and to the wider Delta Facades team on the Queen Mary University project. Thanks also to Willmott Dixon's site management team for the recognition and for running a project culture that puts quality genuinely first.

We're proud of the work — and even prouder of the people doing it.
