At the fall Parade of Homes award ceremony on October 17, Heritage Lane Builders took home 4 awards for houses built in Niverville and St. Adolphe. Among the prizes were 2 gold, 1 bronze, and a special recognition honour.
“Our homes were single family, and the awards go by price category,” says Doug Dyck, President of Heritage Lane Builders, a family company which he operates along with his two sons, Justin and Marshall. “1 of the golds was $417,900, the other gold was $339,900, and the bronze was $354,900. The special recognition was a townhouse.”
The special recognition award exists for noteworthy homes which do not have
significant competition in their category.
Since they started competing in the Parade in 2008, Dyck’s company has seen great success, winning awards in 6 out of 7 years. Notably, Heritage Lane also won 3 golds this previous spring.
“The criteria is based on quality of finish,” says Dyck. “All the representatives of the Parade are well-versed in the qualities of the build.” He adds that winning these awards is about more than the finish; it’s about what people can’t see.
While many builders are active in Niverville, Heritage Lane Builders is the only company that is COR certified (Certificate of Recognition), a safety program required by the Parade of Homes.
Overall, this fall’s Parade had 130 homes from 33 developers in 35 different developments. The Parade is operated by the Manitoba Homebuilders Association.
