The residential construction industry honours top builders, developers, renovators and safety leadership with awards.
In a spectacular repeat performance, five Alberta residential builders and developers have earned the industry’s highest honours. Crowned as Pinnacle Award winners, Homes by Avi, Sorento Custom Homes, Logel Homes, Ultimate Renovations and Brookfield Residential all walked the stage to applause at the 2026 BILD Alberta Awards.
The awards celebrate the best of the best in the residential construction and development industry across Alberta and were announced at a gala event held at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge on Sept. 12 as part of the BILDing Forward Together Conference.
“These awards help Albertans see what excellence in our industry looks like,” says Scott Fash, chief executive officer of BILD Alberta. “This year’s winners are pushing boundaries and solving real challenges. Their creativity and commitment are not only raising the bar for our industry, but they are also helping shape stronger communities for Albertans.”
This year’s celebration brought together industry leaders from across the province to acknowledge exceptional achievements in home building, renovation, community development and safety leadership. The coveted Pinnacle Awards recognize members who not only excelled in the competition, but who also demonstrated leadership, customer satisfaction, community involvement, association participation, safety excellence and dedication to building vibrant Alberta communities.
Winners were chosen from 124 finalists, which had been honed down from more than 500 entries, the most ever in the BILD Alberta Award’s history.
Alberta’s Homes by Avi and Calgary’s Logel Homes earned the coveted Pinnacle Award for Large Volume Builder and Multi-family Builder, respectively, while Red Deer’s Sorento Custom Homes earned the title of Small Volume Builder. Ultimate Renovations, also from Calgary, walked away with top accolades for Renovator, while Brookfield Residential (Alberta) took the award for Developer. This is the second consecutive year that both Homes by Avi and Sorento Custom Homes have earned the coveted Pinnacle Award, while Homes by Avi also earned the award in 2023. Similarly, Brookfield Residential is a perennial Pinnacle winner, last earning the title of Pinnacle Developer in 2024. Ultimate Renovations also picked up the Renovator Pinnacle Award in 2023.

This year, Brookfield Residential was a strong contender from the get-go, earning seven finalist nods and then winning in five of the six developer categories, as well as the Developer Pinnacle Award. It’s new northwest Calgary community of Starling edged out Calgary’s Logan Landing (Genesis Land Development Corp.) and Heartwood (Rohit Group) for New Community, while its Rockland Park development, also in the northwest, summited for Growing Community, displacing two top contenders — Rangeview by Section23 Developments and Seton, also developed by Brookfield Residential. Starling also won for Best Show Home Parade, beating out Seton Ridge, Logan Landing and Rangeview.
