Congratulations to the 2018 Building Industry Association - Bay Area Winners
San Francisco, CA – April 20, 2018 – The Sales and Marketing Council (SMC) of the Building Industry Association of the Bay Area hosted its 41st Annual Excellence in Home Building Awards with the theme “Nobody Does It Better.”
This gala event recognized the industry’s most outstanding sales, marketing and trade professionals in the region culminating with the prestigious Builder of the Year award that was awarded to Lennar Homes. Other distinguished awards included Community of the Year – Detached for Glass Bay, Trumark Homes; Community of the Year – Attached for Perch, Trumark Urban, and Associate of the Year, Mason-McDuffie Mortgage.
The evening is designed to celebrate the achievements of the home building community as they bring new homes to families across the Bay Area. “We work hard all year long to create places for families of all kinds to make lifelong memories and we take time at this event to honor the best of the best and this year’s theme of ‘Nobody Does it Better” fits perfectly,” pointed out Don Ruthroff, Principal at DAHLIN Architecture Planning, and SMC President. Ruthroff went on to say, “We were thrilled with the response of entries this year. It made the judge’s job difficult to pick winners from over 450 entries. It shows the depth and breadth of the work done here in this region to create new homes.”
Caron Kavanagh of Ryan Young Interiors was the chair of this year’s event. The emcee of the event was Tim Sullivan, Principal with Meyers Research who entertained over 560 attendees. In celebration of this year’s theme, several James Bond movie clips and music were sprinkled through the show. One of the highlights of the evening was the addition of filmed interviews from some of the industry leaders, including Division Presidents and Sales and Marketing Directors. The interviews focused on why nobody does it better than their team, why and how they got into home building and more. The interviews, and especially the outtakes, were a big hit and set the tone for a fun-filled evening of celebration.
The event was produced by Team PMP, Shane and Lisa Parrish, who manage and produce similar award shows across the nation at regional and the national levels for the home building industry. Shane and Lisa provide the highest standards of excellence for industry and professional recognition. The evening would not have been possible without the support of the show’s sponsors.
