September 2023 | Home Builder Award

Classic Homes of Maryland won two top honors in the 2023 Montgomery County Custom Builder Awards, the prestigious annual awards of the Maryland Building Industry Association (MBIA). Winners were announced on September 14, 2023, at an evening event held at the Home Depot Design Center in Rockville, Maryland.

The California Modern inspired custom home won the Gold award in its class, exemplifying the style with a combination of mid-century modern and minimalistic elements, including the use of natural building materials and a design that accentuates the wooded surroundings.

In the Speculative Homes category the Geranium model won a Gold award, its second for the year, having won “Best Custom Home” in its class at the MBIA MAX+ awards. The Geranium model adds a Tudor twist to the modern farmhouse, including custom crafted patterned panels and window assemblies for a truly unique exterior.

A team of independent judges reviewed floor plans, photos and written details about each project to choose what the MBIA describes as “shining examples of the talent and expertise that our area has to offer.”

Classic Homes of Maryland President Dinesh Jain states, “These two projects represent our company’s evolution into one-of-a-kind custom design-build homes, fulfilling our promise of making our customer’s dreams a reality. This recognition solidifies our commitment to further expand our work in the luxury design-build segment of the industry.”
