Homes by Avi Named Alberta Builder of the Year for Second Consecutive Year

Alberta-based builder takes home five BILD Alberta Awards spanning home design, energy efficiency and community service

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Homes by Avi has once again been named Alberta’s top large-volume homebuilder, earning the Large Volume Builder Pinnacle Award for the second consecutive year as part of a five-award win at the 2026 BILD Alberta Awards, the province’s annual celebration of excellence in residential construction.

The recognition comes during an exceptional year for the Alberta-based builder. In May, Homes by Avi earned the Design Excellence Award - one of the top overall honours at the 2026 Canadian Home Builders’ Association National Awards for Housing Excellence - along with two national awards for individual home designs. Together, the provincial and national recognition reflects a company that has continued to evolve over nearly five decades while staying focused on how people live, what they need from their homes and the communities around them.

“Being recognized as Alberta Builder of the Year is an extraordinary achievement – and marks more than 10 Builder of the Year Awards across our single-family and multi-family businesses to date. That speaks volumes about the people behind our company,” said Vered Amir, Vice President of Brand Leadership & Community Engagement, Homes by Avi Group of Companies. “What makes this particularly meaningful is the diversity of the recognition - across home design, energy efficiency and community service. Taken together, these awards tell a much bigger story about the talent, innovation and commitment our team brings to what we do.”

Homes by Avi received five honours at this year’s BILD Alberta Awards:

• Large Volume Builder Pinnacle Award
• Single Family, 2,400 -2,600 sq. ft. – 2025 Stampede Rotary Dream Home
• Multi-Family, 1,400 -1,600 sq. ft. – The Finley (duplex) in Sirocco, Calgary
• Energy Efficiency - The Leonard in The Uplands at Riverview, W. Edmonton
• Community Service - Employee Volunteer Program
  
  

The awards also highlight areas where Homes by Avi has made sustained investments beyond individual home design. The company is a Qualified Net Zero Home Builder, and its work in energy-efficient construction was recognized this year through The Leonard in Edmonton. Homes by Avi has also received an AvidCX Benchmark Award based on verified homeowner feedback, reinforcing its focus on the customer experience as part of how it measures success.

The Community Service Award recognizes another part of that broader approach. For more than 25 years, Homes by Avi has partnered with Calgary’s Jack James High School, giving more than 3,000 students hands-on experience in residential construction through the building of 25 homes. The company has also committed $1 million over five years to support construction education at SAIT and NAIT, helping invest in the next generation of Alberta’s skilled workforce.

The single-family award for the 2025 Stampede Rotary Dream Home carries its own history: Homes by Avi has built the Dream Home for 30 years, making the recognition part of one of the company’s longest-standing community partnerships.

“Our people take enormous pride in building exceptional homes, but their commitment doesn’t stop there,” added Amir. “They give their time and talent to the communities we call home. These awards belong to every person on our team who shows up each day with the skill, passion and determination to build something exceptional - and to make the communities around us stronger in the process.”
