A precipitous decline in activity in the Calgary and region new homes industry caused lots of consternation for one of our major economic drivers. Yes, 2018 was a year many would like to forget. Yet the 2018 BILD Calgary Region Awards, held April 13 in the Telus Convention Centre, was party central for more than 1,100 members and guests. The awards celebrated the best in the industry. This past fall, the BILD Advisory Committee increased the number of awards offered to 69. One can imagine with 717 entries, choosing the top 69 would be no small feat.
Kudos to all the entrants and take a bow sentiments go out to the six companies taking top honors, winning the coveted GRAND BUILD Award in various categories. Partner of the Year was awarded to Integrity Building Products. Renovator of the Year was presented to Kay2 Contracting. Multi-Family Builder of Year Small Volume was won by RNDSQR Ltd., while Single Family Builder of the Year Small Volume went to Riverview Custom Homes. Brookfield Residential, which held the most finalist spots for awards coming into the evening with 31, earned the trophy for Multi-Family Builder of the Year Large Volume. And lucky number 13 must be the mantra for Morrison Homes as the builder took top honours, capturing the Single Family Builder of the Year Large Volume for the 13th time, including for a 10-year stretch from 2001 to 2010.
Guests having a marvellous time at the glam included: BILD board chair Paul Boskovich with colleague BILD CEO Brian Hahn and his wife Wendy Hahn; BILD Awards Advisory Committee chair Shane Wenzel and his partner Matt Dunne; Morrison Homes chairman Al Morrison and his wife Donna Morrison; Heritage Pointe’s Carolina Oxtoby and her husband Doug Howland; Section 23 Developments executive chairman Rob Ollerenshaw with colleagues Marion Murray, Brad Wright and Chris Plosz; WestCreek Developments president Bravin Goldade and his daughter Kalida Goldade; Morrison Homes president and CEO Dave Gladney with colleagues Carole Saguez and Johanna VanEngelen; Logel Homes and Cardel Lifestyles’ Tim Logel and his wife Sherri Logel and their sons Brayden and Kevin; RNDSQR’s Alisa Audia and Tara Nini; MLA Richard Gotfried and his wife Cathy; Ward 1 Councillor Ward Sutherland and his wife Heather; Ward 6 Councillor Jeff Davison and his wife Jennifer; Jayman BUILT CFO Aasit Amin with colleagues Brent Craiggs, Stephanie Myers, Dennis Aucoin and Robin Bruner; NAIOP director of Strategic Initiatives Guy Huntingford with BILD’s Bev Jarvis; Ron Glen and Aggie Mikulski; and my terrific Postmedia colleagues Krista Winter, Melanie Gowans, Alyssa Briggs, Claire Young, Wendy Yaremchuk and Myke Thomas.
