2014 CHBA NATIONAL SAM AWARDS RECOGNIZING CANADIAN HOUSING EXCELLENCE – FINALISTS ANNOUNCED
These prestigious awards celebrate excellence in new homes, home renovation and community development across Canada. Twenty-four CHBA National SAM Awards will be presented at the Association’s 72nd National Conference on March 6, 2015 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
CHBA President Bard Golightly noted that the 2014 SAM Finalists reflect the use of innovative technology and construction techniques, distinctive design and remarkable marketing and sales activities. “This year’s SAM Finalists are impressive and it was a daunting task for the judges to make their determinations given the quality of entries. It reflects well on the home builder, renovator, and developer members who make up our award finalists for 2014. I look forward to celebrating their accomplishments.”
CHBA National SAM Awards are presented for projects of varying sizes in the following categories: New Home Awards (8 in total), Home Renovation Awards (5 in total), and Marketing Awards (6 in total).
In addition, single National SAM Awards are presented for: Green Renovation, Green Home, Community Development; Marketing Excellence; and the Grand SAM, which recognizes the new home builder who demonstrates the highest level of excellence in both the building and marketing of new homes.
A complete listing by category of all the CHBA National SAM Award finalists follows.
