VICTORIA – This year’s finalists for the Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence (CARE) awards were announced this week. The awards will be handed out at a ceremony to be held on October 2.
Nominees are selected in the categories of residential planning design and construction, interior design, commercial planning and design, customer service, sales and marketing, special achievement and special interest. Finalists are chosen by a panel of industry professionals using such criteria as architectural character, quality workmanship, use of space, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
“These CARE Awards finalists demonstrate there is a home for every lifestyle,” says CARE Awards chair, Gordon English. “Students, families, empty-nesters, and seniors – all are represented in this wide array of housing, which consumers can enjoy during the People’s Choice Award contest.”
The People’s Choice Award contest will ask the public to vote on nominated projects, and give them the chance to win a stay at the Long Beach Lodge Resort – the 2002 CARE Awards Project of the Year.
The CARE Awards were created by the Vancouver Island HBA in 1991 to recognize the west coast’s creative design and craftsmanship, and celebrate excellence in the industry.
