Three Kamloops firms eye national award – Kamloops This Week

A trio of Kamloops companies are finalists in the Canadian Home Builders Association National Awards of Excellence.

WD Wedgewood Developments Inc., along with Custom Spaces by Cristalee and Motivo Design Group Inc., are finalists for the project Devils in the Detail in the category of Detached Homes, Custom, 2,500 to 3,500 square feet.

The Kamloops trio is up against Alloy Homes Incorporated of Calgary, Archia Development Ltd. of West Vancouver, Artista Homes of Oak Bluff, Man. and Vancouver Development of Vancouver.

The Canadian Home Builders Association National Awards of Excellence recognize the best in Canadian new homes, home renovations, community development and marketing. More than 700 entries were received from coast to coast, from small towns and large urban areas. Nearly 200 judges reviewed images, floor plans and project description before narrowing down the field.

Winners in 42 categories will be announced at the April 3 gala in Banff, Alta.

When you look at these finalists, its amazing to see the variety of architectural styles being incorporated into residential housing in Canada today, CHBA CEO Kevin Lee said. Whether a home is built by a developer in a thriving new community or is a custom renovation done by a small family-run business, these projects showcase the pride we have in our industry.

Categories represent the full spectrum of Canadian homes: low-rise houses, high-rise apartments and homes built for ownership or rental purposes.

This year, a new category was added: the Entry-Level Home Affordability Award.
