A number of Tri-City builders, developers and designers are up for awards this spring from the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).

On Wednesday, March 13, the group revealed its finalists for excellence in new-home construction, renovation and design projects last year.

The accolades come as the provincial government is changing the housing landscape, especially for multi-family units, to address the housing crisis.
