May 25, 2017 (Fulton, MD) - The Maryland Building Industry Association announced the 2017 Montgomery County Chapter Custom Builder Awards at a ceremony at the Pooks HIll Marriott, last night. The awards showcase the outstanding work of builders, architects, designers and construction professionals in the region. “The MBIA Montgomery County Chapter Custom Builder Awards honor and celebrate quality and excellence in construction, architecture and residential design,” said Lori Graf, CEO of MBIA. Entries must be located within Montgomery County or the District of Columbia, be no more than three years old and represent either custom construction or speculative production houses or condos. "These homes are shining examples of the thoughtful planning and innovative details that make a house a home,” added Graf. “They showcase the custom homes in our area and display the superior craftsmanship of our builder members.” New this year, an award logo has been developed to allow the award winners to be recognized for their outstanding achievement. They are encouraged to use the logo in their marketing materials. The awards are divided into categories including: • Traditional Homes which combine practicality and accessibility with a classic look and simplistic design and functionality. • Contemporary Homes which share common design elements such as strong, geometric shapes, oversized windows allowing for extensive natural light, asymmetrical facades and open floor plans with minimal doors and walls. • Transitional Homes which blend traditional and contemporary styles, incorporating lines that are less ornate than traditional designs, but not as severely basic as contemporary lines. They are then further divided into to two types of houses; custom and speculative. A custom home is designed and built to the client's unique requirements. A spec home is designed and built with a buyer in mind. A diverse team of judges viewed both interior and exterior of the homes in addition to reviewing detailed written information, photographs and plans. The total building cost of all the houses entered in this year’s competition totaled more than $30,000,000.
