GVHBA 2016 Ovation Awards: excitement builds!

Now in its seventh year, the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) Ovation Awards continues to grow and capture the attention of industry and the public with entries up 77% over last year.  From modest kitchen renovations to stunning whole-home transformations, and from family-oriented townhouse communities to luxurious custom-built estate homes, the Ovation Awards highlight the best projects GVHBA members have built, renovated, designed and marketed in Metro Vancouver. The GVHBA established the Ovation Awards to recognize these influential and trend-setting companies.

The GVHBA recognises that builders, renovators and designers need to explore new and meaningful ways to distinguish their brand, people, products and services.  The Ovation Awards provide members of all sizes with an equal opportunity to compete in a local awards program that recognizes outstanding dedication to construction and design excellence.

Competition for the Ovation Awards is always strong, and being named a finalist represents a huge achievement.

The 2016 Finalists were announced this past week at a special reception event.
