The Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) recently announced the winners of the 2026 CHBA National Awards for Housing Excellence, Canada’s premiere competition for new homes, home renovations, community development and residential marketing. Winners were awarded in Quebec City as the grand finale event of CHBA’s Home Building Week in Canada, presented by LG Electronics Canada.
The award program is highly competitive, and draws the top projects from small and large companies from across Canada. This year, 900 entries were submitted into 49 categories that capture the full breadth of market-rate homes for ownership and rental.
More than 200 volunteer industry experts judged the 2026 competition. They scored entries based on project descriptions, images, and other supporting information such as floor plans included in the submission packages.
In the new home awards, including the Net Zero Home categories, the criteria focus on design, innovation, functionality, and special features. Renovation categories also assess integration within the home and how any challenges that came up were addressed. Marketing entries are judged based on concept, design, and successful execution and outcomes. For community development categories, judges evaluate the overall vision and livability of the community, as well as its architectural features, environmental and sustainability considerations, and amenities.
In the following pages, view the projects of some of the biggest awards, as
well as a full list of all winners. An image gallery of all finalists can be found at
