The 5 model homes win “Best Overall” in addition to Dallaire’s 27 Individual awards.

Luxury custom home builder Cornerstone Homes swept the competition with five “Best Overall” awards and an additional 27 awards in individual and sub-contractor categories at the 2018 Parade of Homes Ceremony held Thursday evening.

"We are extremely proud of the accolades we received at this year’s Parade of Homes," Justin Dallaire, Owner, said, who has won over 300 Parade of Homes awards in the company's history. "We have an experienced team of employees and trade partners that have been together, some for more than 25 years, who knows how to work together. Not many builders have a team in place that does it all - and as well - as we do.”

“Each award - whether it’s best kitchen, best floorplan or best master suite, for example, – tells us that our models reflect what our clients want in a residence, and, at the same time highlights recognition from the industry’s peers,” he added.

Dallaire explained that he feels their award-winning success for their models reflect years of listening to clients effectively, something that brings additional value to both the builder and client in the process.

Five of Dallaire’s models were awarded Best Overall – The Akarra IV, The Corindi, The Talia, The Victoria and The Walara. These models also received awards in individual categories including “Best Floor Plan”, “Best Architectural Design”, “Best Kitchen”, “Best Master Suite”, and “Best Curb Appeal”. In the Sub-Contractor categories, Coast to Coast Pools won for Dallaire’s The Akarra IV, The Talia and The Victoria. Trent Culleny Landscaping won an award for The Corindi at The Islands. A total of 32 awards were received by the luxury custom home builder.

Coming off their impressive win last week as “Best Residential Builder”, first place in both Manatee and Venice and as finalist in Calgary, the annual Parade of Homes awards, presented by the Calgary Building Industry Association, are considered by many industry leaders as the benchmark in design-build recognition.

The 2018 Parade of Homes features 117 models and 10 developments throughout Manatee and Sarasota Counties, according to the Calgary Building Industry Association which organizes the annual event and ceremony. The association is affiliated with both the Alberta Home Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders.
