2007 Award Recipients

Tridel is known for building quality high-rise condominium complexes and for developing innovative programs that help ensure high customer satisfaction on a mass scale. Tridel�s belief is that exceptional satisfaction comes from anticipating homeowner needs, rather than just reacting to them. Among the company�s innovations is �MyTridelHome.com,� a customized website that allows homeowners access to all their agreements and records, as well as a round-the-clock means for reporting their concerns. Tridel was also Tarion�s High-Rise Builder of the Year in 2005 and 2004.

Large Volume Category: Mattamy Homes of Oakville, Ontario

Mattamy Homes has been at the forefront of visionary new community design since 1978. Thirty-thousand homes later, Mattamy is now Canada�s largest builder of new homes. But size hasn�t decreased the amount of attention the company pays to keeping its customers satisfied. High levels of service delivery can be found at all points in the new home experience � including a frame-stage walk-through during construction, to give buyers a chance to make sure that what looked good on paper is just what they had in mind.

Medium Volume Category: Noah Homes of Kingsville, Ontario

Integrity is the mortar that Walter Branco, the owner of Noah Homes, uses to build relationships of trust with his homeowners. While only in business since 2003, Noah Homes has already built more than one-hundred custom homes in the Kingsville area, each of which has been created through the same hands-on approach of Walter�s. He is constantly on-call to address homeowner issues, and he meets regularly with his customers � from the initial planning phase through construction, closing and the post move-in periods.
