Celebrating the Best in BC across a wide number of Home Builder and Renovator categories, the Georgie Awards are hosted by the Canadian Home Builders Association of BC (CHBA-BC). The CHBA-BC altered this year’s format due to ongoing restrictions on public gatherings and following the Association’s responsibility towards ensuring public health and safety during this pandemic. The black-tie gala and awards show usually involves 600 industry professionals, government officials, and industry partners.
The CHBA-BC promotes industry best practices by acknowledging excellence through its provincial awards platform. This gives builders an opportunity to showcase their projects’ quality, and durability.
The Georgie Awards® offers nearly 50 award categories with new and exciting additions every few years. The award categories are grouped in six focus areas: Residential Construction – New; Residential Construction – Renovation; Interior Design, Merchandising and Landscaping; Sales and Marketing; Special Achievement Awards; Grand Georgie Awards®.
Winer continues, “CHBA-CO builders are a cut above their peers. Whether it’s a new build or a renovation, always ask if your home builder or renovator is a CHBA member .”
CHBA-CO is the regional voice of the residential construction industry in the Central Okanagan. It represents more than 250 members and is part of an affiliated network of nine local home-building associations located throughout the province. The industry contributes over $23.1 billion in investment value to British Columbia’s economy creating 158,000 jobs in new home construction, renovation and repair. One in five employees in British Columbia work in the home-building industry.
