2010 SAM Awards
Morrison Homes also won Builder of the Year award for the 10th consecutive time at the SAM Awards held by the Calgary Home Builders Association-Calgary Region at its annual gala this weekend.
“Morrison Homes gets to celebrate their 50th anniversary of being in business as Builder of the Year. That was their hard-earned accomplishment in a tight race with only a handful of points between the top placers,” said Donna Moore, CEO of CHBA-CR.
Runners-up in the Builder of the Year category were Baywest Homes, Jayman MasterBuilt, Beattie Homes and Shane Homes.
The other Grand SAM Award winners were Sabal Homes for Multi-Family Builder of the Year, McKinley Masters for Builder of Merit, Ultimate Renovations for Renovator of the Year and Divine Hardwood Flooring for Partner of the year.
“Sabal Homes and Divine Hardwood Flooring won their first Grand SAM Awards, while for Ultimate Renovations, it was their seventh Grand SAM and for McKinley Masters, their 9th,” said Moore.

Hi Mike,
Is the ratio of sales/pending sales constant throughout the year? I’m wondering if I should look at pending sales just like I would actual sales.
Brian, here’s a graph I put together quickly showing daily pending sales (blue) overlayed by weekly sales levels (green) from March 2009-April 2011. Sorry, that’s the best I can do at the moment.
