I'M VERY PROUD OF THAT HOME.
GRANDEUR DID A BEAUTIFUL
JOB OF BUILDING THE HOUSE.
Cory Warms, Grandeur's quality-control
manager, says winning the award is a huge
achievement, and an acknowledgement of the
quality craftsmanship the company provides.
"It's been likened to getting the Academy
Award for a home builder. It's a big deal,"
Warms says. "There was a lot of work and
effort that went into getting a net-zero design
made and then getting it built in a factory and
still passing all those stringent tests that a net-
zero home has to have."
Thanks to its energy-efficient design and the
solar panels on its roof, the house is able
to produce as much energy as it consumes,
meeting the definition of net zero.
Warms has an added reason to feel pleased.
He and his family live in the home, which is
located in Winkler.
"I'm very proud of that home. Grandeur did
a beautiful job of building the house. We
plan on sticking around for a while," he says,
laughing.
While the award has been good for business,
so too has the current hot housing market. An
increasing number of potential home buyers
are looking at modular homes as an attractive
alternative to more traditionally built models.
