Each and every year, members of the housing industry go above and beyond for their clients, their partners, and their communities. Here at Housing First Minnesota, we believe your hard work deserves to be recognized. Since the 1960s, our organization (formerly the Builders Association of the Twin Cities) has been awarding honors to outstanding talent in the housing industry. Since then, we’ve grown our awards program to recognize everything from quality building and remodeling to outstanding leadership and ethics, innovation, and legacy. Every year, winners can accept their trophies alongside hundreds of industry peers at the Building Industry Gala (BIG) Night.
Our awards program encompasses individual, project-based, and company-wide excellence. Here are just a few of the many reasons why should submit an entry or nominate someone you know:
You deserve recognition.
Your hard work in the housing industry deserves to be recognized. Many of our members go above and beyond in their work, making a difference and providing strong leadership. We see these efforts, and with these awards, everyone else can see your dedication as well.
Awards provide networking opportunities.
Connecting with new people creates new experiences and opportunities. Accepting an award at the BIG Night is a great opportunity to meet new people in the housing industry and share in a night of gratitude. You can find new partners and other like-minded people to share ideas and continue to work together and grow.
Awards provide new business opportunities.
Winning an award shines the spotlight right on your company. With a title like Builder of the Year, you’re bound to reach new clients, gain new partnerships, and earn some added exposure within your community. When your excellent work is spotlighted, more people will notice you and may be interested in working with you.
Awards highlight your leadership.
Our prestigious awards are only offered to those who deserve them, like strong innovators within the housing community or businesses with exceptional track records. Earning an award affirms your efforts — and lets others know you’re a top leader in the industry.
We love to show our gratitude.
With such a large, growing community, it can be difficult to thank everyone who positively impacts the housing community all the time. These awards allow us to take a moment to celebrate successes, recognize hard work and commitment, and share a night with this wonderful community.
