Wakefield Home Builders is on a roll. The Sunshine Coast developer and home builder, along with local architect Teryl Mullock and West Vancouver architects Helliwell + Smith, has won a string of prestigious design, development and community awards over the oast several weeks for the Wakefield Beach development in Sechelt. At a gala event in Vancouver Feb. 12, Wakefield Beach phase one was awarded a 2007 Georgie Award for best environmental consideration and energy efficiency by the Canadian Home Builders' Association (CHBA) B.C. chapter, celebrating overall excellence in home building. On Feb. 25, the Canadian Wood Council honoured Wakefield Beach with a 2008 BC Wood Works award for best multi-unit residential design. This award recognizes the creators of new projects that push the limits and demonstrate excellence in wood design, showcasing strength, durability, beauty, versatility and cost-effectiveness. And in the March issue of Coastal Living magazine, Wakefield Beach is recognized as an "outstanding steward of the shore" with the 2008 Coastal Living Award for best community development competing against developments throughout coastal U.S. and Canada. In the accompanying article, Wakefield Beach is described as "a British Columbia community proving that responsible development can be beautiful too."
Wakefield Beach is also a finalist in the upcoming CHBA National SAM Awards for best community development, honouring outstanding performance by Canada's new home builders, renovators and residential developers. The winners of the SAM awards will be announced at the CHBA's 65th national conference on April 5 in Whistler.
Wakefield Home Builders has quickly grown into a successful construction and development team on the Sunshine Coast offering a wide range of building services, from custom single homes to multi-unit communities. Recognized as pioneers in environmentally responsible home building, Wakefield promotes deep green practices that reduce the impact of construction on the environment and community.
