Creative and functional home designs and communities that foster belonging shine at the 2025 BILD Alberta Awards.
Alberta’s residential construction industry gathered recently to celebrate and honour the winners of the 2025 Building Industry and Land Development Alberta Association (BILD Alberta) Awards.
“Each year, the BILD Alberta Awards showcase the remarkable talent and commitment of our members,” says Scott Fash, CEO of BILD Alberta. “From creative and functional home designs to communities that foster belonging, these winners reflect our industry’s dedication to quality, safety and the creation of spaces where Albertans can thrive.”
The gala event, held Sept. 13, was part of the BILD Beyond Boundaries Conference, which took place in Banff.
Plenty of new faces, as well as familiar ones walked the stage, earning accolades for excellence and exceptional achievements in home building, renovation, community development and safety leadership.
Taking the five top awards in the competition — the 2025 Pinnacle Awards — were Homes by Avi Alberta for Large Volume Builder, Red Deer’s Sorento Custom Homes for Small Volume Builder, Jayman Built Calgary for Multi-family Builder, Vicky’s Homes of Edmonton for Renovator, and Calgary’s Genesis Land for Developer.
The Pinnacle Awards recognize members who have both excelled in the competition and who have also demonstrated strong leadership, safety excellence and dedication to building vibrant Alberta communities.
This isn’t Jayman Built’s first time winning the Pinnacle Award. Last year, it earned two of the coveted awards, winning for both Large Volume Builder and for Multi-family Builder. This year, in addition to getting top marks and earning the Pinnacle Award for Multi-family Builder, it also picked up Best Multi-family 1,600 to 1,800 sq. ft. for its Brock model in its Streams of Lake Mahogany project. And, the icing on the cake for the company was garnering the award for Safety Leadership — Builder Member.
In addition to walking the stage for its esteemed Large Volume Builder title, Homes by Avi also picked up an award for top contribution in community service and for its net zero design, The Gregory, which won Best Single Family 1,700 to 1,800 sq. ft.
Red Deer’s Sorrento Custom Homes also took top marks, first for the Pinnacle Award — Small Volume Builder and then for winning in three additional categories — Single Family Under 1,500 sq. ft. for its Poplar design, Single Family 1,500 to 1,600 sq. ft. for its Harper; and Single Family Over 4,000 sq. ft. for The Wexley.
In the community design sphere, although competition was fierce (Cantiro’s Alces in Edmonton and Lamont Land’s Key Ranch in Calgary were also finalists), Genesis Land was positioned at the top of the mountain, winning not only the Pinnacle Award for Developer, but also for Best New Community for its Lewiston community in Calgary’s northwest.
Designed to foster connection and inspire a feeling of home, Lewiston’s vision reflects a sense of freshness, youthfulness, nature, growth and sustainability. The community also turned heads for its grand opening event, winning Best Community Event for Genesis Land.
Similarly, Calgary’s Alpine Park community, by Dream, earned Best Growing Community beating out Brookfield Residential (The Orchards in Edmonton), and Qualico Communities and Bordeaux Developments’ Harmony project. Alpine Park, which stands out for its New Urbanist design principles and people-first vision, also took the award for Best Show Home Parade.
But it was Edmonton’s Vicky’s Homes, winner of the Renovator Pinnacle Award, that really turned heads, earning five additional awards: Kitchen Renovation Over $100,000, Exterior Renovation, Home Renovation Over $600,000, Garden/Secondary Suite and Renovator’s Choice.
Winners were selected by a panel of 100 industry professionals from more than 430 total submissions from across the province, a record number this year. In Stage 1 of the awards selection process, which took place in July, those 430 submissions were carefully whittled down to 126 finalists in 47 categories.
Also winning category awards were builders from across the province: Blackstone Homes in Edmonton for its Oxford project (Single Family 2,200 to 2,400 sq. ft.); Singh Builders, also from Edmonton for Grace (Single Family 2,600 to 2,800 sq. ft.), along with Medicine Hat’s Wilde Homes for Single Family 3,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. and last year’s Small Volume Builder Pinnacle Award winner, Colbray Homes, stepping up to win Single Family 1,600 to 1,700 sq. ft. for its Vintage Farmhouse home in Red Deer.
Top-notch infill homes were represented by House Crush Design Studio and Alloy Homes of Calgary, and Sidson High Performance of Wainwright, which pocketed two awards both for its Elmwood Estate project — one for Infill Over 4,000 sq. ft. and the other for Energy Efficiency.
Meanwhile, in the multi-family arena, Brookfield Residential garnered two awards, one for its Edmonton project, The Coltrane at The Everly, which won Multi-family Under 650 sq. ft. and the second for its Griffith project, taking accolades for Best Multi-family Over 1,800 sq. ft.
Calgary’s Logel Homes also walked the stage, earning two Multi-family awards, one for Multi-family 650 to 950 sq. ft. (The Jackson 2) and the other for its Cohen 2ES design (Best Multi-family 950 to 1,200 sq. ft.)
