If They Build It… A t ctc&g, we spend our days in the most beautiful homes in Connecticut and celebrate the architects and designers who make them dazzle. We are always mindful, however, of the incredible job done by the builders in our state, and Editorial Director D.J. Carey and I have often discussed how to give them the recognition that they deserve. ■ Now we have the answer! ■ CTC&G is proud to be the exclusive media sponsor for the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of the CT HOBI Awards—the largest and most successful builder awards program in the country. “The HOBI Awards is Connecticut’s most prestigious recognition of excellence in home construction, home technology, sales and marketing, home financing and community service,” said HOBI Awards producer Joanne Carroll, “and the 23rd annual awards presentations will take place on Wednesday, November 16, when more than 750 housing-industry professionals will gather at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington.” ■ D.J. Carey added: “Often it is the craftsmanship of the builder that makes the houses we feature stunning, so I am thrilled to highlight their work in our January 2017 issue.” ■ Stay tuned and be sure to check out cottagesgardens.com/2016hobi for coverage of the awards. ■ See you there!
