Over the last two months, the new home industry organizations in Calgary and Edmonton held their respective awards nights to recognize the best of the best in the trade. Both were very well-attended affairs that signalled the emergence of the new home industry in both cities from the pandemic lockdowns of the last two years.
BILD Calgary Region (BILDCR) announced the winners from the 2021 BILDCR Awards on April 30 at the Telus Convention Centre. While winners of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region (CHBA-ER) were announced on April 2, 2022, at the Awards of Excellence in Housing Gala at the Edmonton Convention Centre.
Home renovators were very much part of both celebrations and remain integral to the health and progress of the home construction market. In this issue, R+D shines a light on the winning renovation companies in Calgary and Edmonton. The following is the list of home renovation winners from the BILDCR 2021 Awards, and the CHBA-ER 2022 Awards of Excellence in Housing.
