Harley Haddow Highly Commended at the Building Awards 2026
Harley Haddow is proud to have been Highly Commended for Engineering Consultant of the Year at the Building Awards 2026, held in London on 3 November. The evening also saw The Sutton Estate, a project on which we were the MEP and Sustainability engineers, win Retrofit Project of the Year.
The recognition follows our shortlisting for Engineering Consultant of the Year and reflects the hard work of our teams, the quality of our engineering consultancy services and the strong relationships we’ve built with clients and collaborators across the industry.
Reflecting on the achievement, Marc McLuskey, Chief Executive Officer of Harley Haddow, said:
“This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, the quality of the work we deliver and the strong relationships we’ve built along the way. Our significant growth in recent years reflects this, and we’re incredibly proud of the people who continue to make Harley Haddow what it is.”
The Sutton Estate Wins Retrofit Project of the Year
We were equally delighted to see The Sutton Estate in Chelsea, London, take home Retrofit Project of the Year at this year’s Building Awards.
The project has transformed four historic residential blocks into 81 modern, energy-efficient homes, preserving the character of the existing buildings while significantly improving their performance, comfort and accessibility.
As the MEP and sustainability engineers, Harley Haddow supported the integration of low-carbon heating and hot water systems, improvements to thermal performance and the incorporation of modern building services within the constraints of the historic estate.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful engineering and a collaborative approach to retrofit can extend the life of existing buildings, reduce carbon emissions and create better-performing homes for the future.
The award is a fantastic recognition of the wider project team’s efforts and the growing importance of sustainable retrofit in shaping the built environment.
