2022 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence Winners Announced
OTTAWA, ON – MAY 13, 2022 – The Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) is proud to announce the winners of the 2022 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence, a competition that recognizes excellence in new homes, renovations, community development, and residential marketing. This year, a record 800 entries were submitted into 48 categories. Finalists and winners were selected by a group of nearly 200 judges made up of industry professionals from all over Canada.
For the first time, the awards were given out in a two-hour social media watch party, allowing finalist and winners to share their accomplishments in real time with the public. Next year will see a return to an in-person celebration if all goes well.
“Our members saw many challenges last year as they worked to build a wide spectrum of much-needed homes for Canadians, from supply chain shortages to huge construction material cost increases,” said CHBA CEO Kevin Lee. “But the residential construction industry is resilient and active in every community across Canada. These awards recognize everything from purpose-built rental to entry-level homes to custom homes and renovations. They are wonderfully representative of the variety of homes we have in Canada, including the implementation of leading construction techniques for greater efficiency and affordability, and a wide range of design,” said CHBA CEO Kevin Lee.
Jayman BUILT from Calgary, AB was the winner of the Design Excellence Award for their cumulative results in the new home and new home spaces categories. They were also the winner in the ‘Best Mid-to High-Rise Building (Completed)’ and ‘Best Detached Production Home Under 1,800 square feet,’ and, along with Norr Architects, took home the ‘Best New Community Award’ for Westman Village. Their Edmonton operation also won for Best Detached Production Home 2,401 to 2,800 square feet.’
