Jayman BUILT: Innovation pays off in winning year

2024 is turning into a milestone year at Jayman BUILT, as the renowned homebuilder and land developer is enjoying a winning season with big wins in both of Edmonton’s and Calgary’s premier industry awards. And they’re not done yet.

Jayman won Builder of the Year-Large Volume at this year’s Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Edmonton Region Awards of Excellence in Housing, and the Grand Award for Large Volume Single Family at the BILD Calgary Region Awards. No other local homebuilder in recent history has won both awards in the same year.

“We’re more than thrilled with the outcome in both awards,” says Dave Hooge, COO at Jayman BUILT, but the work doesn’t end there.
Nor do the accolades, as Jayman BUILT is up for even more awards this year, including provincial and national awards.

But even with all the industry recognition it is getting, Jayman BUILT, as an organization, recognizes that it is building the community itself that makes it all worth it. Their sponsorship of the 2024 Edmonton Jayman BUILT MS Walk happening on May 26 is just one of the many ways the homebuilder does give back to the community.

Best of the best

In addition to the Builder of the Year titles in Edmonton and Calgary this year, Jayman BUILT also took home a boatload of awards in each respective organization.

In Calgary this year, Jayman BUILT won awards for Best Multi-Family Community Concept for the Streams of Lake Mahogany; Best Apartment Style $251,000-$350,999 for Les Jardins’ A Suite; Best Apartment Style - $451,000 and Over for the Streams of Lake Mahogany; as well as for Best Sales and Information Centre.

While in Edmonton, they took home awards for Best Single-Family Under $300,000 for The Brady; Best Single-Family $300,000 -$350,000 for The Sonata; Best Design Centre/Show Room for their styleMagic Design Centre; the Environmental Recognition Award for Single-Family Large Volume Builder; Best Net Zero Homes for The Karma; and Best Greenfield Garden/Secondary Suite for The Karma Legal Suite.

They are set up to extend the winning streak, as Jayman BUILT is also up for nine awards at the CHBA National Awards, with three from their Edmonton division. These include Best New Community for Southfork in Leduc; Best Interior Decorating for Sonata 20; and Best Detached Production Home Under 1,800 square feet for Taylor 24; and several other advertising and marketing awards to go with it.

They also plan to have a big presence at the BILD Alberta Awards later on this fall, where they are up for Single-Family, and Multi-Family awards, and also for Developer awards for Southfork.

Environmental initiatives

It is no surprise, however, that Jayman BUILT was able to achieve these various award-winning feats, as they have nurtured a culture of innovation in the development of their homes.

They were the first to introduce the most energy efficient homes available in Alberta, including their Quantum Performance Ultra E-Home, achieving Net Zero Certification. Jayman offers four options for an energy efficient home, designed to save you money annually and protect the environment.

Each Jayman BUILT home already include 10 solar panels, a 96 per cent High Efficiency 2-stage furnace, an active heat recovery ventilation system, among others, that translates into $21,000 in value included in the home. Those 10 solar panels will generate enough electricity to cut homeowner’s electricity bills by up to 50 per cent - nearly half-way to Net Zero energy generation!

Taken together, these can result in $1,300 in annual energy saving and save 4.63 metric tonnes of greenhouse gases per year, which is 33 per cent more energy efficient than the minimum 2023 building code in Alberta requires.

“Jayman BUILT is not only a member of Built Green, but the founding member in 2003 and the first builder to register a BUILT GREEN home. Our commitment to ‘green’ building practices goes back many years,” says Hooge.

“Consumers today expect that their builder, or any other vendor for that matter, take the Built Green practices seriously and contribute to a greener world. So, for us, Built Green is just how we do things.”

Jayman BUILT has already programs like Core Performance and the Path to Net Zero and they are adding more to this, as they introduce new standard features for 2024 that can reduce a home’s carbon footprint and provide up to 50 per cent in electrical savings per year.

The latest offerings

Jayman BUILT has been building new homes in Edmonton for the past 40 years and they have over 50 home models available in over a dozen new communities in Edmonton and surrounding area. Jayman BUILT has been busy introducing new models to the region over the last few months, that are already receiving raves for their design features and luxury inclusions.

“The Sayge is one of our newest front-drive garage models that was just released last fall in the Villages of Desrochers,” says Dalyce Keen, Sales Manager for Jayman BUILT Edmonton.

“It offers a unique design with a vaulted bonus room, double door entrance feature into the owner’s retreat and an open to above space at the back of the home which allows a generous amount of light through both levels of this 2-story home. The Sayge is a must see with its entertainer’s kitchen and walk in pantry.”

Jayman BUILT also introduced no-condo-fee street towns in Southfork and Trumpeter. These townhomes are unique, in that they have no condo fees and come with front landscaping and the option to build a detached garage. These are the most affordable home product we currently have available in Edmonton, starting in the mid-$300’s,” Keen says.

Furthermore, these homes include all the same Core Performance Energy Efficient features and Smart Home inclusions that can be found in any of Jayman’s single-family homes. These include solar panels, tankless hot water heater, active heat recovery ventilator, high efficiency furnace and smart home technology package, all voice controlled with Amazon Alexa.

More showhomes will be opening across the Edmonton region this fall, no doubt with more award-winning designs for next year.
