Custom Home Builder of the Year Award
The Custom Home Builder of the Year Award recognizes custom builders for their innovative achievements, professional leadership and creativity in crafting one-of-a-kind custom homes. Winners demonstrate leadership at work and in the community, exemplify expertise in converting a client’s wish lists into a unique home, and contribute to the overall strength of the home building industry.
In addition to peer recognition and the potential for increased exposure through local news media outlets, the Custom Home Builder of the Year award recipients will be highlighted in an NAHB press release, the NAHBNow blog and on nahb.org.
