The Canadian Home Builders\u2019 Association (CHBA) has announced the winners of the 2026 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence<\/a>, Canada\u2019s premiere competition for new homes, home renovations, community development, and residential marketing. Winners were presented in Quebec City at the Glitter and Groove Awards Bash, presented by LG Electronics Canada, as the grand finale event of CHBA\u2019s Home Building Week in Canada.<\/p>\n

The award program is highly competitive, and draws the top project from small and large companies from across Canada. This year, 900 entries were submitted into 49 categories that capture the full breadth of market-rate homes for ownership and rental. Entries were judged by nearly 300 industry professionals.<\/p>\n

In addition to the 49 main categories, three awards are given for best overall performance.<\/p>\n

Homes by Avi Canada in Calgary was awarded the Design Excellence award, which is given to the company that has the best cumulative results in the new homes and new home spaces categories. They also took home an award for Best Attached Low-Rise Home 1,500-1,800 square feet, and Best Detached Production Home Under 1,800 square feet.<\/p>\n

The Renovation Excellence Award for best overall performance in the home renovation categories went to Ultimate Homes and Renovations in Calgary. This is not the company\u2019s first time winning the award: they last took home the best-overall accolade for renovations in 2024.<\/p>\n

The Marketing Excellence Award for overall success in marketing categories was presented to Branthaven Homes in Burlington, Ont., and their marketing firm, Pureblink of Toronto. The duo also took home two individual marketing awards for their \u201cCanvas Hill\u201d community.<\/p>\n

Categories are evaluated each year to ensure they reflect the wide range of homes that our members build and renovate in communities across Canada. This year saw the addition of the Adaptiv Home Award, which recognizes new custom homes or residential renovations that prioritize Adaptiv home design fundamentals for homeowners with disabilities or who want to age-in-place. It was won by Pinnacle Group Renovations by Design in Calgary.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe winning projects in the CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence represent the pinnacle of housing in Canada, whether it\u2019s an entry-level home designed to be affordable for a first-time buyer, a renovation to serve the changing needs of a growing family, a Net Zero home offering superior energy efficiency, or a master-planned community that offers a variety of housing types. This is an elite competition, and even to be named a finalist is a remarkable achievement. We are extremely proud of this year\u2019s winners,\u201d said CHBA CEO, Kevin Lee.<\/p>\n
