The annual awards, presented by the Home Builders Association of Alabama, honor outstanding craftsmanship, innovation and attention to detail in remodeling projects throughout the state.
To qualify for entry in the 2022 competition, projects had to be completed in Alabama between June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2021. A panel of judges — made up of builders and remodelers from around the state — reviewed and scored the entries.
Winners in 20 categories were announced at an April 9 event in Montgomery. The winner of a People’s Choice Award was revealed on April 15: a Sam Jackson’s Emporium project in downtown Tuscaloosa, created by The Builders Group. It’s also this year’s champ in the Commercial Renovation category.
Here are details on the winning projects, from luxurious custom home to a fancy basement bunkhouse. You’ll find a photo of each project, info on the winning builder and a description in the story below.
More photos are showcased in the gallery at the top of this post, highlighting four winners and four runners up that especially caught our eye. In some cases, we’ve also included “before” images that provide sharp contrasts to the finished products. (See the full list of 2022 winners and runners-up here.)

Winner: River Brook Design & Construction (LaPrado Custom Home), Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders.
Description: “This 4,200 square foot custom build was designed with a European feel to fit into its historic neighborhood, with a cedar roof, copper gutters and locally-cut natural fieldstone to add to its charm. To give the interior an open feel without being TOO open, a large entry way was created to separate the kitchen, living and dining rooms. With outdoor views a priority, the kitchen was situated in front of a bank of windows. To keep the view open, a traditional vent hood was eliminated, and a Wolf vent installed that pulls air up from the cooking surface of the LaCornue French range.
“Keeping outdoor entertaining in mind, a butler’s pantry was created near the outdoor living space. It does double duty as a laundry room, with the washer and dryer hidden behind casework and cabinets designed to conceal full size laundry baskets. The owners’ suite continues the home’s European influence with marble slab fronts on the vanity and full marble slabs in the shower. Outdoor living spaces, including a covered patio with a large fireplace, help the owners take full advantage of their surroundings.”

To achieve a more open-concept and functional plan, interior walls were demo’ed to create a new kitchen, living and dining space. The kitchen was relocated to the back of the house, where it could better take in the backyard views.
“A large center island offers plenty of space for storage, prep work, and seating. A combo laundry room and pantry were built to double the storage that the kitchen originally had, with a barn door closing off the space. The porch was converted into a powder room, giving the family a much needed first-floor bathroom. In the kitchen’s original location, an 8 foot wall was built to create an entry way, and a mud bench installed for a convenient place to store bags and coats upon entry.

Winner: Precision Homecrafters (Powder Bath at the Lake), Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders.

India’s luxurious housing sector, nevertheless, slumped. Even though profits ongoing to trickle in for a few top-conclude builders till 2020, the market appears to have accelerated a lot of instances about in the earlier 10 months. The below development Trump Towers undertaking, jointly made by M3M Group and Tribeca Builders, marketed about three units a thirty day period right until very last 12 months. In 2021, product sales have far more than doubled to seven models. The residences are priced at ₹8-9 crore each individual, Hot News Today.
The Trump Organization is now effervescent more than with hope. This time close to, it is hunting to establish not just luxurious Trump Towers residences, but also ‘second homes’, which has emerged as a hot asset class for the duration of the pandemic. The strategy is to build gated communities of tremendous luxurious villas and farmhouses throughout Delhi-NCR (nationwide cash location), Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Goa, Alibaug and Pavna (Maharashtra), founder of Tribeca Kalpesh Mehta mentioned. Tribeca is the formal representative of The Trump Firm in India.
“As with the US and most parts of the planet, Indian household serious estate is witnessing a sturdy boom,” Donald Trump Jr. mentioned in an email response to Mint. “We are incredibly proud of the successes we have expert more than the many years and glimpse ahead to when all over again raising the standard of luxury in India and further than,” he added.
Other luxurious developers have related tales of a income revival to share. Household units, 3,000-6,000 sq. feet in size, and priced in the selection of ₹3-11 crore, are offering like very hot cakes across the state. The pandemic has played its role. While the current market had an oversupply and was marred by development delays, points altered from a desire standpoint around the past number of months as the prosperous hunted for larger sized properties that have been also perfectly spaced out, Hot News Today.
Very low curiosity fees, favourable governing administration policies—stamp obligation cuts in Maharashtra, revised circle premiums in Delhi—and far more ready-to-are living-in jobs contributed to the revenue momentum. The initially 9 months of 2021 clocked full dwelling revenue of 1,45,650 models in the top seven cities, of which luxurious sales’ share was 12{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. In 2019, of the whole income of 261,000 units, the share of luxury housing was all-around 7{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, according to Anarock Residence Consultants. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune and Delhi are the important marketplaces driving luxurious income these days.
“While the inexpensive phase was performing well, luxurious was in a very difficult location. The change to gated communities has now designed an unparalleled desire for decks, gardens, balconies in residences, which had been really rough to offer before,” Prashant Bindal, chief income officer at Macrotech Builders Ltd, reported. “We have pretty much run out of our prepared-to-transfer-in stock. There is also unusual need for ‘jodis’ where by joint families and enterprise family members want two units together,” he added. Macrotech sells below the Lodha model and will start two-three top quality projects in south-central Mumbai in the subsequent couple of months, with homes priced at a minimal of ₹5 crore.
Fall, rise once again
So why did the luxurious industry slump before the pandemic?
In limited, it was since investors stayed absent owing to the uncertainties in the house current market. At the conclude of 2019, about ₹1.59 trillion well worth of luxury housing stock remained unsold, which was about almost 34{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of the full price of all unsold residences across best residential marketplaces. There were being 89,200 unsold luxurious units (residences priced at ₹1.5 crore or far more) in 2019 in comparison to 81,290 models in 2018. Luxury was the worst-executing phase throughout all classes of properties. Then arrived the stamp obligation cuts. Just after the to start with lockdown in 2020, the Maharashtra governing administration experienced in August claimed it would briefly decrease stamp obligation on housing models from 5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} till 31 December 2020. The stamp responsibility from 1 January to 31 March 2021 stood at 3{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, Hot News Today.
In Mumbai, India’s most useful residence current market and luxury realty money, in which prices have been stagnant for in excess of 50 percent a 10 years, the stamp duty minimize signalled a turnaround. South and central Mumbai, the coronary heart of the city’s luxury projects, witnessed a substantial bounce in conditions of unit revenue involving January and August 2021. The income recorded through this time period were, in simple fact, much more than the full-calendar year product sales manufactured each 12 months given that 2017, in accordance to a report by serious estate intelligence system CRE Matrix. A lot more than 90{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of the housing gross sales in the area ended up previously mentioned ₹2 crore.
Mumbai-dependent K Raheja Corp. marketed much more houses in its extremely-luxurious project ‘Artesia’ in upscale Worli than what it had managed in the earlier a few years. Homes at the 176-unit project are priced at ₹22-25 crore each individual. “In Artesia, we will have about 100 households residing. That is for the reason that a lot of have bought two or three residences some even an whole floor (4 apartments),” claimed Ramesh Ranganathan, chief government officer-residential business enterprise at K Raheja Corp.
The developer’s other challenge, ‘Vivarea’, which is situated in the upscale locality of Mahalaxmi in Mumbai and has apartments priced at ₹12-14 crore, observed good gross sales much too. “We did about ₹1,000-1,200 crore of gross sales from just these two initiatives,” he extra.
Those people investing in luxurious housing maybe often had the income. Having said that, numerous had been ready for a correction in the market place. The pandemic and the stamp responsibility cuts produced the fence-sitters energetic yet again. Assignments that sold properly have been both all set or nearing completion. Individuals with occupancy certification did well far too, generally since they are exempt from the 5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} GST (very good and services tax) applied to less than-construction house. “I was apprehensive of the stamp responsibility exemption rollback. But the momentum has continued, mainly because individuals are purchasing for unique use. In most cases, consumers are upgrading, from standalone south Mumbai properties to fashionable structures with facilities.
