struction in the province.

separate categories cover all
facets of the housing in-

dustry, including single fam-
ily homes over and under
$60,000 built in metropolitan
areas, i.e. Vancouver and
Victoria, as well as those
houses built outside the large
centres.

Also the best multi-family
project (including
townhomes and apartments}

ty-four units will be

recognized, as will creative

tial subdivisions and renova-
tions between $10,000 and
$80,000. Excellence in
technical innovation from a
builder as well as a non-

plier, or manufacturer) con-

CHBA-EC and one of the
judges on the Awards
Committee, welcomes the
idea of award presentations.

“There has been a recent
development of several new
techniques and applications
within the industry, as well
as a revived appreciation
from the consumer for qual-
ity construction,’’ said
Strain. ‘“‘Not only do tie
awards serve to create rec-

ognition of excellence, but
they further generate public
and industry awareness of
the quality and innovation
that does exist within the
housing sector.’’

All of the awards are open
to members and non-
members of the association.
Each award will be based on
@ Specific house, project or
development submitted to
