Greater Houston Builders Association PRISM Awards

Of the many events held by the Greater Houston Builders Association throughout the year, the annual Best of PRISM Awards are among our favorites. The black-tie affair gives us the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the outstanding work done by our colleagues in the Houston homebuilding industry.

The 2016 GHBA Best of PRISM Awards will be held on Saturday, October 1. Houston homebuilders are nominated for awards in five categories: Associates, Custom Home Builders, Volume Builders, Remodeler, and Developer. This year’s awards coincide with the GHBA’s 75^th anniversary as well—even more cause for celebration.

As an active and involved member of GHBA, Cabinets & Designs President Maria Frank also enjoys participating in the PRISM awards as a volunteer driver and guide for the guest judges. PRISM award rules state that judges must be based outside the Greater Houston DMA; once they arrive in Houston judges are driven to view nominated projects by GHBA member volunteers. It’s a long but rewarding day, says Maria.

“It’s a great opportunity to meet someone new, from outside of Houston. Judges drive or fly in from all over Texas, and other parts of the country, and we take them to locations where they make their evaluations. There are a lot of categories, and many nominees, so you spend quite a bit of time with them. Plus you get to see the great work of our colleagues, so it’s something I really enjoy.”

Nominations took place in the spring, and on-site judging for the PRISM awards was conducted in June. Although the awards are still two months away, we can’t wait to find out the winners. All of the nominees showed incredible work, and we are proud to be a part of such a talented, vibrant Houston homebuilding community.
