The Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) recently announced the winners of the 2025 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence, Canada’s premiere competition for new homes, home renovations, community development and residential marketing. Winners were presented in Victoria, BC as the grand finale event of CHBA’s Home Building Week in Canada.
The competition once again had a record-breaking year, as small and large businesses from across Canada submitted more than 1,000 entries in 48 categories to capture various new housing types, sizes and price points.
“Our national awards program always showcases the best of the best, and we are very proud of this year’s finalists and winners,” says CHBA CEO Kevin Lee. “Members of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association are pushing to advance Canada’s housing industry on so many fronts, and this competition is a great demonstration of the homes and communities that are developed, built, and renovated across the country.”
In the following pages, we present the winners of the biggest awards and those companies who won multiple awards. For a full list, as well as an image gallery of all finalists, visit chba.ca/housingawards.
