Parade of Homes | Fall 2021

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. Cont’d on page 48 Parade of Homes FALL 2021 47
