The Building Industry and Land Development Alberta Association (BILD Alberta) has unveiled the finalists for the 2025 BILD Alberta Awards, marking a significant moment for the province’s construction and design sectors. Scheduled for September 13, 2025, during the BILD Beyond Boundaries Conference in Banff, the awards celebrate excellence across various categories, including new home construction, renovation, and community development.

Scott Fash, CEO of BILD Alberta, expressed enthusiasm for the event, stating, “The BILD Alberta Awards highlight the incredible creativity, design, and innovation our members bring to every project.” This year’s selection process featured a panel of 100 industry professionals who assessed a record-breaking 430 submissions, narrowing them down to 126 finalists.

Finalists Showcase Diverse Projects

The finalists represent a broad spectrum from Alberta’s major cities, particularly Edmonton and Calgary. Projects from Edmonton received 33 nominations, while Calgary led with 74 nominations. Additionally, companies from smaller centres like Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Wainwright, and Lethbridge contributed to the competition, collectively earning 13 finalist positions.

In the development category, Genesis Land stands out with multiple nominations for its Lewiston project in Calgary, which includes recognitions for the community’s grand opening and its show home parade. Other contenders in the Best New Community category include Cantiro’s Alces project in Edmonton and Lamon Land’s Key Ranch in Calgary.

The Best Growing Community finalists feature Brookfield Residential’s The Orchards in Edmonton and the Alpine Park project in Calgary, alongside entries from Qualico Communities and Bordeaux Developments.

Calgary-based firms dominated the renovation categories, with Rusch Design Build, Crafted Edge Homes, Melanson Homes and Renovations, and Reborn Renovations each receiving three nominations. Ultimate Renovations and Vicky’s Homes from Edmonton excelled with five nominations each, including recognition in the Renovator’s Choice category.

The prestigious Pinnacle Awards will honor the industry’s most outstanding contributors in five categories: Small Volume Builder, Large Volume Builder, Multi-Family Builder, Renovator, and Developer.
