Top builders receive praise
Home building was described as one of the Okanagan’s economic bright lights in a pandemic year as the Canadian Home Builders’ Association – Central Okanagan announced the winners of its 2021 Okanagan Housing Awards of Excellence on Sunday.
Leading the way was Frame Custom Homes, which took home seven awards. Kelowna-based Bellamy Homes, West Kelowna’s H & H Custom Homes, and Penticton builder Edgehill Developments captured three awards each.
“Despite the pandemic, residential construction has remained resilient and kept our local economy moving.” said Dan Winer, executive officer for the CHBA-CO.
“The construction sector has been one of the bright lights in Kelowna’s economy (and) one of our regions largest employers … Our collaboration with the (CHBACO) has helped us through one of the toughest years in recent memory,” said Mayor Colin Basran in a news release.
