Well, it’s happened again. We went to Charlotte feeling maybe we were the underdog last year and that’s why we did so well. But to our surprise, we walked away from the 2010 North Carolina STARS Awards Gala with 3 first place awards. This is a statewide event with very competitive builders. We were excited to win first place for:
While thrilled again to be honored with these awards, we really do owe it all to our clients. Without you, we would not exist. Thank you.
We just certified another home in the EPA Energy Star program. This was our largest to date at almost 4,300 square feet. This residence just happens to be not only in the same neighborhood of Ocean Ridge Plantation but also on the same Waterstone Crossing street as our last EPA Energy Star rated home. The other home was just over 3,600 square feet and about as complicated as they come from a rating standpoint. Both homes feature high efficiency heat pumps and encapsulated crawlspaces as well as a myriad of other features. This continues our 100% commitment to build only EPA Energy Star rated homes.
Blue Sky Building Company was just announced as being the #2 Builder in the Best of Brunswick contest. This local contest polls local residents as well as all readers of the Brunswick Beacon newspaper. Out of the thousands of votes for the hundreds of licensed builders in Brunswick County we were voted #2. We feel honored to be put in such a spot and are deeply grateful to our fine trade partners, our super suppliers and our great clients. Thank you so much Brunswick County.
Well, it’s good news really… Lumber futures are starting to go higher. Although this is bad news for building costs, it’s good news for the economy. Building costs always seem to be the leading indicator of an economic improvement. Here’s a nice graph showing where lumber is right now in relation to the last few years. Blue Sky Building Company continuously monitors building cost in an effort to stay on the front edge of the market.

Well, we were surprised and humbled to walk away from the 2009 North Carolina STARS Awards Gala with 4 first place awards. This was a statewide event with heavy competition. We were excited to win first place for:
While we are obviously thrilled about this from a selfish standpoint, but it also speaks volumes about the caliber of homes being built in Brunswick County. Without clients who have the vision and budget to allow us to show what can be done…there would be no awards. So, thank you to all of our client from the bottom of our hearts.
Well it’s happened again, despite strong competition. Blue Sky Building Company has won two first place Diamond Awards in the 2009 Brunswick County Parade of Homes. The first place awards for our two homes basically covered the best single family homes in the $500k to $1 million price categories. These were some of the largest categories of competitors. The homes that won were the Villa Toscana and Hemingway’s Cottage, both located in Ocean Ridge Plantation. This brings the count to four for our award winning homes in Ocean Ridge Plantation alone. Two other homes in Ocean Ridge Plantation also won first place honors, making it a sweep for this year’s Parade in Ocean Ridge Plantation. We also received Best of Show for our outdoor living area and our ceiling trim detail.
Blue Sky Building Company is very proud and honored to have won the 2008 Brunswick County Parade of Homes Diamond Award. The first place award was received for the best single family home in the $600k to $700k price category. This was the largest category of competitors with 7 awesome entries. The home that we won with was the Briggs Residence in Ocean Ridge Plantation. We were also thrilled to receive the Best of Show for our screened porch outdoor living space.
