Broadview Homes and Avi Urban walked away as the big winners Saturday night as the newly amalgamated Canadian Home Builders’ Associaton – Urban Development Institute Calgary Region Association held its 29th Sales and Marketing (SAM) Awards at the Telus Convention Centre.
Broadview Homes, which is part of the Qualico Group of Companies, took home Builder of the Year honours, while Avi Urban, a division of Homes by Avi, captured Mult-Family Builder of Year.
Broadview also won in three categories for single-family homes, while Avi Urban won in two individual categories.

All told, 58 awards were handed out in 12 different categories covering all aspects of the Calgary region’s residential construction industry.
