RULES
In judging new construction, a panel was asked to consider factors in the following areas:CRAFTSMANSHIP - New construction was judged on:
- Exterior overall craftsmanship
- Exterior wall coverings & overhangs
- Exterior millwork & trim
- Interior overall craftsmanship
- Interior wall fit & finish
CURB APPEAL - New construction was judged on:
- The placement of the house on the lot
- House balance and proportion
OVERALL DESIGN - The home was judged on:
- Functionality of the kitchen
- Functionality of the bathroom
- Whether or not the floor plan promoted good movement/traffic
OVERALL PROJECT VALUE & AWARD WORTHINESS The homes were also judged on the overall value of the project and whether or not each home was judged to be worthy
of an award. These last two questions, were asked to determine a winner in case of a tie in any specific category, as well as to ensure consistency of excellence in any category in which there
was only one entry. All entries had to score a minimum number of points to receive an award, and consequently, there was not necessarily an award presented in each category. In some cases there
were multiple awards in a category, based on different price ranges. If an entry did not win an award in this competition, it was not a question of quality. It simply meant that, as compared to
other homes entered, it did not meet the established guidelines for an award in this specific competition.
- Interior millwork (casings, railings, stairs, etc)
- Window and door fit & finish
- Floor system and exposed framing
- Floor coverings
- Foundation walls/concrete surfaces
A NOTE ABOUT THE WINNERS:
In order to be judged a winner, an entry had to meet a minimum threshold of points from a panel of three judges. Therefore there may be more than one winner in a given category and likewise, there may be no winner in a given category, even if that category has only one entry. In order to achieve Best of Show honors, a
winning entry must achieve a second, higher, point threshold established by the commit tee. As a result there may be a winner in a category, but that category's winner may not necessarily achieve
Best of Show honors. |
