Once again it was a sell-out celebration as 350 of Metro Vancouver’s top builders, reno-

vators, designers and industry experts gathered to celebrate the Annual Ovation awards on April 25, 2015.

Now in its sixth year, the Ovation Awards showcases the industry’s diver-sity, innovation, and sheer creativity, so it came as no surprise that the mood was distinctly upbeat at the Marriot Vancouver Pinnacle Hotel in downtown Vancouver.

Total entries were up an astonish-ing 77 per cent over last year, a clear refl ection of both the health of the area’s residential construction industry and the increasing brand recognition of these awards.

“The Ovation brand is a sym-bol consumers can trust and should look for when building or renovat-ing their home,” said Bob de Wit,

CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, the association behind the Ovation Awards. De Wit was also delighted by this year’s addi-tion of a new category: Excellence in Technological Innovation in Residential Construction.

Finalists represented a balanced cross-section of well-established entrants and up-and-coming companies with vision. Winners represented the best of the best among this committed group of industry leaders.

And the Winners Are…After a strong showing at the

Georgie Awards in February, Naikoon Contracting Ltd. was the evening’s top winner, taking home a total of seven Ovation Awards including Excellence in Innovation and Sustainability in New Residential Construction, plus the Grand Ovation Award for Custom

Homes Builder of the Year. Midori Uchi, Naikoon’s ultra-energy-effi cient home with rammed earth wall garnered four of the company’s seven wins.

Hot on Naikoon’s heels was longtime awards participant My House Design/Build Team Ltd. with six awards, includ-ing BC Housing’s Award for Excellence in Creating Aff ordable Housing Choices and the Grand Ovation Award for Renovator of the Year: Large Volume. Silver Lining won in two categories – Best Addition and Best Exterior Renovation.

Eclectic Industrial, a fun ‘n’ funky loft renovation that highlighted brick and wood fi nishings plus stain-less steel detailing by Beyond Beige Interior Design got the nod in three categories including Best Townhouse/Condominium Renovation: $200,000 and Over.

The inaugural Excellence in

Technological Innovation in Residential Construction Award went to Graytek Solutions Ltd. with associate Teragon Developments & Construction Inc. for The Mayfair. The Mayfair also garnered Teragon three gold Ovation Awards for Best Renovated Room, Best Outdoor Living Space, as well as the coveted People’s Choice Award.

Relative newcomer Shakespeare Homes & Renovations Inc. added two more awards to their list of acco-lades winning in the Best Renovation: $500,000 - $799,999 and Best Kitchen Renovation: $100,000 and Over. Best Accessible Renovation went to Reid Developments Ltd. for Eton. And Best Heritage Renovation was awarded to Sasen Renovations for Queens in Burnaby.
