True-Line nabs top awards

After failing to win in several categories that it was a finalist in at the Canadian Home Builders Association awards gala on Saturday evening, True-Line Homes was called to the podium when it mattered the most.

The Central Alberta branch of the CHBA named True-Line its Builder of the Year among large-volume builders, and also its Renovator of the Year.

The Red Deer company also won Awards of Excellence for Best New Multi-Family Project (Townhouse or Duplex Style) Over $225,000 and Best Renovation Project Between $50,000 and $99,999.

True-Line president Phil Neufeld was joined on stage by more than a dozen staff members for each of the best of the year award presentations.

Im glad theyre all here and can celebrate with us, he said, crediting True-Lines personnel, as well as its trades and suppliers, for the companys success.

Winning the other major award was Platinum Homes, which claimed Builder of the Year honours in the small-volume category. Platinum also received Awards of Excellence for Best New Home Between $260,000 and $299,999, and Best New Home Between $525,000 and $599,999.

Terry Loewen, a partner in the business, credited his staff, trades, suppliers and customers for the award. Like Neufeld, he made a point of calling a large number of Platinum staff to the stage to share in the moment. The resulting congestion led to the large volume Builder of the Year trophy, which had not yet been presented, being bumped off a table and breaking.

Sorry large volume, you dont have a trophy, joked Loewen.

The other big winners on Saturday included Sorrento Custom Homes, which received Awards of Excellence for Best New Home Up To $224,999, Best New Home Between $375,000 and $449,999, and Best New Estate Home Over $1 million. Falcon Homes Ltd. also claimed three Awards of Excellence: Best New Home Between $225,000 and $259,999, Best New Home Between $450,000 and $524,999, and Excellence in Interior Design for work by Stephanie Fehr, and Gina and Kevin Pardy.

Krest Homes won two Awards of Excellence, one for Best New Home Between $300,000 and $374,999 and the other for Best New Multi-Family Home (Townhouse or Duplex Style) Under $224,999.
