Benchmark Scaffolding has been recognised with the Silver Award in the Specialist Contractor of the Year category at the 2025 National Building and Construction Awards.

The accolade highlights the company’s continued commitment to innovation, safety, collaboration, and technical excellence across some of the UK’s most complex and prestigious construction projects.

Benchmark’s award submission focused on its work at 38 St Mary’s Axe, delivered for Mace Interiors. The challenging refurbishment project required precision engineering, detailed planning, and close collaboration between multiple teams.

The company said the project’s success demonstrated not only engineering skill but also the strength of teamwork among Benchmark’s operatives, clients, and partners.

A statement from the firm praised the efforts of its site team: “Congratulations to the core site team for bringing such hard work and professionalism to the job every day.”

Benchmark also highlighted its ongoing focus on health, safety, and well-being across all operations. The firm’s ‘Bud’s Story’ initiative, led by Senior Contracts Manager Stuart Didd and his dog Bud, continues to raise awareness and encourage open conversations around mental health in the workplace.

The company said winning the Silver Award reinforces its position as a leading name in complex access, heritage restoration, and temporary works engineering.
