Montgomery County Custom Builder Awards Announced August 12, 2021 (Fulton, MD) - The Maryland Building Industry Association announced the 2021 Montgomery County Custom Builder Awards at a ceremony in North Bethesda, on August 12th. The awards showcase the outstanding work of builders, architects, designers and construction professionals in the region. "The MBIA Montgomery County Custom Builder Awards is a display of the superior craftsmanship of our members." 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 exemplify the quality of architecture and construction these awards are known for," she added. 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. 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.
