Winners’ circle: Ovation Awards honour the best in the business

The builder of an attractive six-bedroom Tudor-style home built right across from VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver scored top honours recently at the 2017 Ovation Awards, an undertaking from the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver.

Vancouver-based Tavan Developments was named Custom Home Builder of the Year. The award was one of four handed to Tavan at a gala event earlier this month attended by some 350 builders, designers and renovators.

“We have won multiple awards in the past, but this is the first time we were up for four [awards] and won all four of them,” said Tavan principal Troy Van Vliet. “I think we had some well-executed and well-thought-out projects that were not only high-quality homes, but were very energy efficient, eco-friendly and very comfortable, and of great design.”

Tavan’s Tudor home, named “Hudson on the Park” was chosen Best Custom Home in the $1.5-million to $3-million category. The development company also won in two other categories: Best Bathroom Renovation Under $35,000 and Best Kitchen Renovation Under $75,000 for its Vancouver home called “Hamilton on the Hill”, en route to earning the Grand Ovation Award.

Other multiple award winners included My House Design/Build Team of Surrey, which won three. My House took a Grand Ovation Award as Residential Renovator of the Year, and also won Best Kitchen Renovation over $125,000 and Best Bathroom Renovation $35,000 and Over (for “Classic Elegance” home in Surrey).
