Victoria Residential Builders Association

Welcome to the 2023 CARE Awards magazine highlighting Canada’s leaders in west coast home design and construction.

The CARE Awards and this magazine are proudly presented by the Victoria Residential Builders Association and our generous industry sponsors.

The Gold-winning projects demonstrate creativity, sustainability and craftsmanship for today’s modern home.

Our Special Achievement Awards recognize outstanding people and projects including housing affordability, heritage preservation, and lifetime achievement.

For more information and photos of the 2023 CARE Awards winners and finalists, visit 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.

I encourage you to take advantage of the products and services offered by our members and CARE Awards sponsors.

Enjoy and best wishes,

TMESSAGE FROM CASEY EDGE

Executive Director

Victoria Residential Builders Association

he outstanding homes in this magazine represent years of expertise by VRBA builders, designers, trades and suppliers.

A wealth of knowledge is required to professionally build homes in 2023, which is why our members emphasize education and training along with consumer protection, and housing affordability.

For more than two decades, I have enjoyed working with VRBA members representing the industry’s best. Always hire a professional builder when you’re considering a new home or renovation.

If you are planning a project, or have any questions about the industry, feel free to contact us at vrba.ca

A special thank you to the many voters participating in our popular People’s Choice Award Contest at careawards.ca.

Best wishes,

Edge,

Victoria Residential Builders Association

VRBA Standards Important for CARE Awards Home to Housing Excellence

MESSAGE FROM DEBRA EDGE

Administration & Events Manager

Victoria Residential Builders Association

The annual CARE Awards event at the Fairmont Empress Hotel is the home to housing excellence.

It is a special honour to manage the awards gala recognizing the outstanding achievements of VRBA’s builders, designers, trades and suppliers.

Thank you VRBA members and our many longstanding sponsors for supporting this event and magazine.

We 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.

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

3. Consumer Protection – We avoid confusion where consumers might mistake a non-member for a VRBA member qualified by the above diligence and standards. We do our best to ensure CARE Awards winners 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 nonmembers would undermine diligence, standards and consumer protection.

A word of advice – before hiring an “award-winning” builder, ask about the standards supporting the awards program. Or better yet, simply hire a VRBA member through our popular online Expression of Interest at vrba.ca/hire-a-builder.

Visit us at vrba.ca and careawards.ca. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY

For more than 60 years, FLOFORM’s skilled craftspeople have helped customers select, fabricate and install countertops both residentially and commercially.

From our humble roots back in the 1960s to today, as one of the largest countertop fabricators in North America, a lot has changed over the years. But the one thing that hasn’t is our commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service. We have a reputation for producing high-quality work.

The FLOFORM brand was created in 1961 by brothers Harry, Frank, and John Dyck in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and was influenced by the state-of-the-art post-form laminate countertop technology.

Our first location – a 7,000-square-foot facility– was home to only seven skilled craftsmen.

Today, with 16 retail locations and eight fabrication facilities across western Canada and the northwest U.S, employing over 700 people, FLOFORM Countertops manufactures, sells, and installs over 20,000 premium surface countertops a year. We couldn’t be prouder of where we’ve been – and where we’re headed.

We stand behind it all — because Wilsonart is where ingenuity meets innovation.

Wilsonart has the most comprehensive catalog of engineered surfaces. A sample and spec process you can count on. Delivery logistics that ensure your project stays on track.

Wilsonart is proud of operational excellence and fast, reliable manufacturing over a 66-year history. Enjoy complete, correct, and on-time delivery with our company-owned fleet and 100 strategically located distribution centers.

Hire a Contractor Using VRBA Expression of Interest

Thinking of building a new home or renovating? How will you determine a builder’s track record, availability and prices?

Try our online Expression of Interest making it easy to get quotes from VRBA’s professional contractors.

Visit vrba.ca/hire-a-builder/ and fill out the form which is forwarded to members. There is no cost or obligation.

Our Expression of Interest puts your project in front of Canada’s leaders in sustainable West Coast design and construction.

VRBA members have a network of skilled designers, trades and suppliers to manage

your project professionally and efficiently. They can help you identify your vision in the most cost-effective way.

Some consumers make the mistake of hiring a contractor on the advice of a friend. Many believe they are getting a “deal,” but that alleged “deal” can fade quickly and turn into major challenges.

Your builder should have a professional contract, strong track record, as well as warranty and liability coverage.

VRBA members have the experience and knowledge to build or renovate a home that you can proudly call your own.
