RM Builders & Contractors is delighted to celebrate a Highly Commended Award for Small Development from the Devon Building Control Partnership. The company received the award for its work on the Pilcher’s Field Care Home extension in Crapstone.
The recognition means even more because Building Control Officers nominate the projects themselves. They choose developments that demonstrate outstanding craftsmanship, attention to detail and construction quality. Therefore, everyone at RM Builders & Contractors feels incredibly proud to receive this honour.
The team celebrated the award during the official opening of the new extension. Alan Stewart and Sarah Wilson attended on behalf of RM Builders & Contractors. They joined West Devon Borough Council Leader Mandy Ewings, MP Rebecca Smith and Ken Farnham, Chair of Trustees for Abbeyfield Buckland Monachorum Society.
A Care Home Extension That Makes a Difference
Pilcher’s Field has earned an excellent reputation for providing comfortable, independent living for older people. The new extension builds on that success. It creates additional accommodation as well as welcoming communal spaces where residents can relax, socialise and build lasting friendships.
Equally important, the extension blends beautifully with the original building. The judges praised the team’s craftsmanship and attention to detail. They also recognised how well the design makes use of the stunning countryside views behind the property.
Most importantly, the project will improve everyday life for residents and their families for many years to come. That lasting impact makes this one of RM Builders & Contractors’ most rewarding developments.
Strong Partnerships Deliver Better Results
Every successful construction project relies on teamwork. Throughout the Pilcher’s Field development, RM Builders & Contractors worked closely with the client, architects, consultants, Building Control and the wider project team.
Working inside an operational care home required careful planning from the very beginning. The team organised every stage of the build to minimise disruption for residents, staff and visitors. At the same time, they maintained the highest standards of quality and safety.
Furthermore, this collaborative approach reflects the way RM Builders & Contractors manages every project. Whether delivering a care facility, commercial building, heritage restoration or domestic extension, the company believes communication is just as important as craftsmanship.
Award-Winning Craftsmanship Across Devon
For decades, RM Builders & Contractors has built a strong reputation across Devon and the South West. The company delivers high-quality construction projects for domestic, commercial, heritage and care-sector clients.

Receiving recognition from the Devon Building Control Partnership reinforces those values. It also reflects the company’s commitment to creating buildings that serve local communities for generations.
Looking Ahead
The Pilcher’s Field project demonstrates what skilled craftsmanship and close collaboration can achieve. Every member of the project team played an important role in delivering a building that will benefit residents for years to come.
RM Builders & Contractors would like to thank everyone involved in the development. The company also congratulates Pilcher’s Field on the official opening of its outstanding new extension.
Whether you’re planning a home extension, refurbishment, renovation or commercial development, RM Builders & Contractors brings the same award-winning approach to every project.
