Custom Home proudly presents the winners of the 12th annual Pacesetter Awards program. The Pacesetter Awards celebrate excellence in the business of building custom houses, and this year’s 11 winners continue the tradition of defining what it takes to be the very best.
The winners were chosen by the magazine’s editors for their high achievement in one of six categories that reflect major aspects of running a successful custom home building business: marketing, management, customer service, design, production, and innovation. The winners of this year’s awards proved that they approach their businesses with professionalism, commitment, and creativity, and that their performance has been outstanding in a particular category.
