August 25, 2022 (Fulton, MD) - The Maryland Building Industry Association announced the 2022 Montgomery County Custom Builder Awards at the Home Depot Design Center on August 25, 2022. 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. In this complicated housing market, these winners are shining examples of the talent and expertise that our area has to offer." 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, speculative and renovation. 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. Renovation is remodeling of an existing home. A diverse team of judges viewed both interior and exterior of the homes in addition to reviewing detailed written information and plans. The total building cost of all the houses entered in this year's competition totaled more than $30,000,000.
