The Canadian Home Builders' Association of Central Interior Home Builder Awards of Excellence (Keystone Awards) have been established to recognize and honour excellence in the home building sector in the Central Interior District of BC. Entries are scrutinized by a distinguished panel of highly qualified judges from outside the BC Interior region, who are selected for their expertise in their field. An Accounting Firm chosen by CHBA Central Interior monitors the judging process. The Keystone Awards are an opportunity for Copper Island Fine Homes to test how good we are, strive for continual improvement, raise the bar for local builders, and demonstrate our commitment to excellence.
