Victoria Residential Builders Association

Victoria Residential Builders Association

hope you enjoy this 2020 CARE Awards supplement, presented by the Victoria Residential Builders Association and our important industry sponsors.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges this year. First, I would like to acknowledge and congratulate Dr. Bonnie Henry, the many health professionals and frontline workers for their outstanding dedication to manage the impact of COVID-19 in our community.

Without their dedication, the CARE Awards and other community activities would not be possible.

Thank you all!

Once again, VRBA members’ entries raised the bar of excellence making the CARE Awards judges’ task very difficult. Often there are very

few points separating Gold & Silver Finalists.

The CARE Awards Gold winners are highlighted in this supplement, however you can also view the Silver Finalists at careawards.ca.

If you are considering a new home or renovation, our members’ contact information is listed in this supplement and online at vrba.ca.

Also take advantage of the products and services offered by our valued CARE Awards sponsors. The CARE Awards and supplement are not possible without their support.

Enjoy and best wishes, Gordon English, Chair 2020 CARE Awards

I

hope you enjoy viewing the many awardwinning homes in this magazine and online at careawards.ca.

We are fortunate to continue building and presenting homes during this challenging pandemic. It could not be accomplished without the community working together, especially those in health care and other frontline support.

These award-winning projects are the result of builders, designers, trades and suppliers collaborating to create exceptional homes.

The Victoria Residential Builders Association is grateful to our members, sponsors, media and the public for supporting

the CARE Awards during the pandemic and for the past 29 years.

I want to offer a special thank you to the many voters participating in our popular People’s Choice Award Contest. The People’s Choice Award winner is also featured in this supplement and at careawards.ca.

If you are planning a new home or renovation or have any questions about the industry, feel free to contact us at vrba.ca Best wishes, Casey Edge, Executive Director Victoria Residential Builders Association

T

he CARE Awards event is always challenging and changing, and this year is no exception.

This is the first time creating an online virtual event available for viewing by the public. I hope everyone enjoyed the awards!

Some of the changes will continue into future CARE Awards events, but we hope to return to a gala next year at the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

What never changes is a celebration of spectacular homes by VRBA’s industry professionals. They represent the gold standard in West Coast design and construction.

I want to offer a big thank you to our Gold, Silver, Bronze and Media Sponsors, including the Times Colonist producing this

As well, a special mention to CFAX’s Al Ferraby for always making the CARE Awards entertaining and memorable.

W

e are asked at times, why the popular CARE Awards event is open only to VRBA members and not to all in the residential construction industry.

Three important reasons are: 1. Diligence on VRBA Applicants – VRBA reviews contractors’ references, followed by a Board member conducting interviews and site visits to verify knowledge and experience.

meet the standards expected by the public and our association.

For example, awards judges don’t have an opportunity to inspect a project’s framing or window flashings. We must be confident CARE Awards entrants meet a professional standard beyond the visible finished product.

Opening the CARE Awards to non-members would undermine diligence, standards and consumer protection.

2. Maintain Standards – All VRBA members must agree to our Code of Ethics.

A word of advice – before hiring an “awardwinning” builder, ask about the standards supporting the awards program.

3. Consumer Protection – We avoid confusion where consumers might mistake a non-member for a VRBA member qualified by the above diligence and standards.

Or better yet, simply hire a VRBA member through our popular online Expression of Interest at vrba.ca/hire-a-vrba-member/.

We do our best to ensure CARE Awards winners

Why build an Insulated Concrete Form foundation?

Crawlspaces and basements feel cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Walls are completely insulated, inside and outside and sealed from vapour and air, the ultimate in energy efficiency. Much faster time of construction - in most of the cases analyzed, ICF saved over 50% of the time needed to achieve the same result.

Overall it doesn’t really cost more it’s just an advanced technology that most contractors are not familiar with installing.

Embrace and Awakening

Hanstone Awaken: New for 2020, Hanstone Awaken combines warm earth tones with soft veins to create an elegant, soothing design.

stablished in 1961, FloForm Countertops has spent nearly 60 years committed to delivering the countertops you deserve, on time and on budget, for a kitchen that exceeds your expectations. It began in a single 7,000 square foot facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba and since then we’ve grown into a world-class countertop fabricator with 14 showrooms and six fabrication facilities across Western Canada and the NorthWest USA. And while we have grown significantly since our humble beginnings, our commitment to our customers remain the same as they were from day one, “To consistently provide our customers with the best countertop purchasing available.”

From one Canadian success story to another, FloForm is proud to be an exclusive distributor of HanStone quartz, Canada’s only quartz brand. All their North American quartz is proudly manufactured in their state of the art facility in London, Ontario. HanStone quartz is known for its superior quality and exceptional design, and their newly released colours are no exception.

Hanstone has its finger on the pulse of the quartz countertop industry.

The three new designs they’ve released this year is evidence they are continuing to measure and adjust to remain on-trend today and tomorrow.

The new designs are Awaken, Embrace and Calacatta Gold.

Combining warm earthy tones and soft, wispy veining, Awaken offers an elegant infusion of distinctive design and soothing energy to any interior space.

Evoking strength and balance, the cool grey tone of Embrace is elevated with soft white marbling to present a bold, timeless look.

Striking by design, the sweeping veins of Calacatta Gold stand proud against its solid white background. Balanced and bold, Calacatta Gold adds an air of confidence in any space.

All HanStone quartz is composed of 93% natural Canadian quartz crystals and are non-porous and stain-resistant. More durable than granite, quartz is scratch and chip resistant and requires no chemical sealers; just clean with soap and water.

BC Needs Reno Rebate/Tax Credit for Seismic Safety, Jobs

P

rovinces across Canada are showing there is much BC can do to boost our economic recovery and create jobs during this pandemic.

For example, the Newfoundland/Labrador govt launched a rebate program providing up to $10,000 for renovations and new home construction.

Saskatchewan recently announced a 10.5% renovation tax credit saving consumers up to $2,100 on $20,000 of home renovation expenses including labour, building materials, fixtures, equipment rentals & permits.

British Columbia can similarly boost our economy and jobs with a much-needed renovation rebate or tax credit. It will also assist important objectives ranging from seismic safety to asbestos abatement.

There are hundreds of tremors and small earthquakes annually in our region that usually go unnoticed.

They are constant reminders we live in a subduction zone where large earthquakes can happen any time.

CARE Awards 2020.indd 10

Experts say in the next 50 years, there is a 30% chance of a damaging earthquake, and a 10% – 15% chance of a massive earthquake.

Thousands of older homes in our community require anchor bolts, tie-downs and other measures for protection against an inevitable, major earthquake.

We would also include mitigation of asbestos, a toxic product approved years ago by the government and now costing homeowners thousands of dollars to remove.

A renovation rebate or tax credit would be a responsible investment in public health and safety.

They also create tax revenue by requiring receipts, helping to battle the underground economy while creating skilled jobs in every community.

Now, during this pandemic, is the time for BC to invest in jobs, health and safety.

ONE OF VICTORIA’S MOST AWARDED BUILDERS

Creating architecturally innovative + environmentally sensitive neighbourhoods for you to call home.

A

chieving success in business is no easy accomplishment, but to continually grow in success for 39 years is remarkable.

The Limona Group was established in 1981 by two local businessmen, Michael Baier and John Sercombe, who set upon a mission to offer quality homes at an affordable price.

They believed that their industry experience combined with an efficient approach to building and exceptional customer service would be a solid formula for success. Their company has developed many of the larger, single family and multifamily neighbourhoods on Vancouver Island.

The Limona Group had a vision to take raw land, and through

astute planning, shape it into community-minded neighbourhoods.

Within those communities, Limona has built over 2,000 homes for families to enjoy.

In order for their vision to become a reality, Limona worked diligently with municipal staff, and have been open to public opinion to ensure that their projects are

compatible with the community plan.

They have been continually recognized for the energy efficient and environmentally sensitive technologies incorporated into all of their projects.

The Limona Group’s accomplishments have led to many accolades and awards for quality and service. They have earned an incredible one hundred CARE Awards since the year 2000, including the Built Green Builder of the Year in seven separate years.

B.C. Hydro Power Smart Division also honoured them as a Builder of the Year for the Province for their outstanding strides in building energy efficient homes.

For Mike Baier and John Sercombe, the best recognition of success has been the compliments from their many satisfied home owners.
