This is a moment we are really proud of.

Amsted is happy to share that we have been named a finalist in five categories at the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s National Awards for Housing Excellence. The National Awards recognize the best in residential design and construction across Canada. Being named a finalist in five categories in a single year is a remarkable achievement and one that our whole team has worked incredibly hard to earn.

None of it happens without two groups of people. The homeowners who trust us with their homes invite us into their lives and give us the opportunity to do meaningful work. And the Amsted team who show up every day and make it possible.

Here is a look at the four homes behind these five nominations.

Best Adaptiv Home + Best Whole Home Renovation ($300,001–$500,000)

The details that make independence possible are woven into a home that just feels like home. Every space considered, every transition resolved, and nothing that calls attention to itself.

Best Single Room Renovation

Muskoka vibes. Manotick backyard. A covered deck transformed into a three-season retreat designed to earn its square footage every single weekend.

Best Whole Home Renovation ($500,001–$800,000)

From dark and divided to open, bright, and completely reimagined. A narrow 1900s home resolved from the inside out, three levels, each one livable, every detail intentional.

Best Whole Home Renovation ($200,000–$300,000)

Rather than leaving a neighbourhood they love, they chose to stay and reimagine what home could be. The goal was never more. It was better.
