Georgies on our Minds: Finalists Announced for 2014 Georgie Awards®

Finalists announced at special event for B.C.’s premier home-building awards
 
BURNABY, B.C. (November 10, 2014) – The Canadian Home Builders’ Association of British Columbia (CHBA BC) is pleased to announce this year’s Georgie Awards® finalists. Now celebrating their 23rd year, the Georgie Awards® are nationally known for recognizing and rewarding excellence and innovation in the home-building and renovation community throughout British Columbia.
 
The finalists were announced at a Finalists Announcement Reception the evening of Friday, November 7, at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel in Vancouver. This special event celebrated all of the exceptional entrants who stood apart and reached the high level of excellence that the Georgie Awards® honour.
 
“Submissions were at the highest level in several years, signalling the health of the residential construction industry in British Columbia,” said CHBA BC CEO Neil Moody. “The level of quality, skill, professionalism and excellence of our association’s members is reflected in this year’s outstanding entries. I would like to offer my congratulations to all the finalists. We are looking forward to an exciting evening on February 27, when the winners will be announced at the 23rd Annual Awards Gala at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver.”
 
The awards are provincial in scope, and cover projects built, renovated, developed, created and/or marketed for the period of January 1, 2013 to July 31, 2014. An esteemed judging panel of industry professionals from outside B.C. recently judged all Georgie Awards® entries in an intense and thorough three-day process.
 
The Customer Choice powered by Avid® category finalists will be announced in January 2015.
 
Finalists and winners will be celebrated at a black-tie awards gala with distinguished guests and entertainment on February 27, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver.
