The recognition comes during an exceptional year for the Alberta-based builder. In May, Homes by Avi earned the Design Excellence Award – one of the top overall honours at the 2026 Canadian Home Builders’ Association National Awards for Housing Excellence – along with two national awards for individual home designs. Together, the provincial and national recognition reflects a company that has continued to evolve over nearly five decades while staying focused on how people live, what they need from their homes and the communities around them.

The Community Service Award recognizes another part of that broader approach. For more than 25 years, Homes by Avi has partnered with Calgary’s Jack James High School, giving more than 3,000 students hands-on experience in residential construction through the building of 25 homes. The company has also committed $1 million over five years to support construction education at SAIT and NAIT, helping invest in the next generation of Alberta’s skilled workforce.

The single-family award for the 2025 Stampede Rotary Dream Home carries its own history: Homes by Avi has built the Dream Home for 30 years, making the recognition part of one of the company’s longest-standing community partnerships.
