Even though the 2009 economy has started in a recession, this years CHBA (Canadian Home Builder’s Association) 17th annual Georgie awards gala displayed a positive forecast of this year’s building and renovation industry.
With greater Vancouver dominating the provincial awards, homeowners can be assured that they are being serviced by the highest caliber in the industry.
Georgie Gold winner Doug Kerr of Kerr Construction says, “These awards really give our business a boost in tougher economic times. Winning a Georgie award gives consumers confidence in what we can do for them and the quality of workmanship they will receive.
Even Stephen Harper is encouraging Canadians to make those small renovations with his tax credit of up to $1350 for one year.
“There are lots of incentives from the government for home energy improvements,” says Kerr. “Additional to the tax credits there are programs such as LiveSmart BC and Solar BC with rebates of up to $12,325.”
Now with the encouraging rebates and tax credits it is prime opportunity for homeowners to take advantage of these and increase the value of their homes.
With materials prices coming down now and trades more available homeowners are able to get their projects done faster and at less cost.
Kerr Construction is celebrating their 4th Gold Georgie and has been one of Vancouver’s trusted Design/Build Firms for over 20 years. "With good design and proper planning we are able to really provide value to home owners" added Kerr.
