2018 BILD Awards celebrating excellence
April 08, 2019
The finalists in the annual housing industry competition, the 2018 BILD Awards, were announced recently by BILD Calgary Region. Formerly known as the SAM (Sales And Marketing) Awards, the BILD Awards mark the 32nd year of celebrating innovation and excellence in the residential construction industry in Calgary and the surrounding region.
A total of 101 companies are competing for 65 separate awards in various categories, including the six Grand BILD Awards – Builder of the Year Large Volume, Builder of the Year Small Volume, Multi-Family Builder of the Year Large Volume, Multi-Family Builder of the Year Small Volume, Renovator of the Year, and Partner of the Year.
This time around, there are quite a few familiar names on the finalists’ list.
Leading the parade is Brookfield Residential, with 20 finalist entries. Also a finalist in multiple categories is Morrison Homes, a multi-time past Builder of the Year winner, with entries in no fewer than 15 categories. Last year’s Builder of the Year, Calbridge Homes, has finalists in seven categories, while other familiar names include 2017’s Multi-Family Builder of the Year Shane Homes and a finalist in four categories this year; and Jayman BUILT, with eight entries.
Logel Homes, a company that’s a relatively new kid on the block – although the Logel family has been around the industry for what seems like forever – is a good bet to walk away with an award or two as they’re a finalist in 10 categories.
The BILD Awards cover 10 different categories, with finalists chosen by industry judges through a detailed process where points are awarded to each entrant, that are then authenticated by an accounting firm. GRAND BILD Awards are presented to the builders, developers, renovator and partner who have demonstrated a superior achievement in design, sales, advertising and/or service.
A total of 729 entries were received across all categories of new-home construction, including homes and condos in the Calgary area as well as renovations, new communities, advertising and marketing, and more. The top sales professionals in the field are also recognized.
The winners will be announced at the BILD Awards Gala on Saturday, April 13, at the Telus Convention Centre.
