A local developer is up for a national home building award for a custom build on Chilliwack Mountain.
Alair Homes Chilliwack already won the award for custom home valued over $1 million at the third annual Canadian Home Builders Association - Fraser Valley (CHBA-FV) Awards of Excellence held on Feb. 2 in Abbotsford.
Now Alair is a finalist in the CHBA National Awards in the category of custom detached homes from 3,500 to 5,000 square feet.
Alair is up against two Bellamy Homes projects from Kelowna, a Cada Construction house from Ottawa, Ont., and a Timberworx Custom Homes project from Aberfoyle, Ont.
At the Feb. 2 Fraser Valley awards, Alair was honoured alongside Kingcraft Construction awarded Custom Home Builder of the Year, Domèo Construction’s best single family home over 2,300 square feet in size under $650,000, and Abbotsford-based Diverse Properties for best multi-family low-rise development for Market Way Apartments in Garrison Crossing.
