Avid Award

Avid® Award

The best builders deserve recognition for delivering the Best Customer Experience.

The Avid Award annually honors top home builders throughout Canada and the U.S. who delight their customers the best. Home builders who win the coveted award are selected by home owners themselves, whose responses to the Avid Survey yield ratings for a variety of home buying and ownership experiences. Builders scoring highest on the survey are presented the Avid Award for Best Customer Experience™. These top-notch companies receive much media attention, including company and product profiles featured on AvidBuilder.com, a Web magazine published by Avid Ratings. In Canada, winners are selected at the national and provincial levels, while in the U.S., winners are determined nationally and regionally. Earning an Avid Award signifies an exemplary commitment to doing whatever is necessary to make customers happy. It is a shining reflection of a company whose culture is steeped in delivering unparallelled quality and service, and puts its customers first above all else. Avid Award winners are among the best, most successful home building companies in North America.
