“Okanagan Builders are creating some of the most jaw-dropping, stunning homes in Canada,” says Daniel Winer, CHBA-CO Executive Officer. “Luxury custom homes, energy efficient homes, or creative infill projects, local builders have a high standard of quality. We’re thrilled to be able to celebrate these builders.”
