Fall Parade of Homes

2011 Fall Parade of Homes cover

The Fall Parade took place for two weeks in October and showcased 208 new homes metropolitan wide. One of the highlights each year is a special award event that recognizes top local home builders with the presentation of the 2011 Pick of the Parade and Distinctive Plan & Design awards. More than 225 people attended the HBA’s Fall Awards Ceremony at the Kansas City Club, October 5, as the awards winners were announced.

The Pick of the Parade Awards showcased winners based on criteria such as outstanding construction techniques, selection of materials and craftsmanship with judges examining everything from exterior siding to interior framing. The Distinctive Plan & Design Awards focused on interior design and architecture.  Winners were determined based on furnishings, accessories, functionality and curb appeal of the homes.

Teams comprising more than 20 industry professionals consisting of home builders, architects, interior designers and other construction trades from outside the Kansas City metro area canvassed the region, September 30-October 1, to evaluate the entries. Homes competed in categories based on price range. Thirteen Grand Award winners were selected, and fourteen Runner-Up honors were awarded for the Pick of the Parade. The Distinctive Plan & Design Awards competition had thirteen first place winners and fourteen second place winners.
