Qualification Criteria
Finalists and recipients for the Homeowners' Choice Awards are determined by a comprehensive survey sent to Ontario homeowners who took possession of a new home. Survey questions are designed to assess homeowner satisfaction with after-sales customer service.
To be considered, builders must have had at least five possessions during the survey timeframe. In addition, a minimum number of completed surveys must be received to ensure that homeowner responses can be fairly evaluated.
Builders will not be eligible for a Homeowners’ Choice Award if they: are subject to a Notice of Proposal to suspend or revoke their registration; or are the subject of an active charge for illegal building; or have been convicted of illegal building in the last five years.
Builders compete in four categories:
High-Rise Builder of the Year: More than 100 high-rise possessions
Large Volume Builder of the Year: More than 100 possessions
Medium Volume Builder of the Year: 21-100 possessions
Small Volume Builder of the Year: 5-20 possessions
