Being a small volume builder (six to 10 houses per year), Ash-
ton’s focus is on quality, not quantity, and this way of doing
things has paid off with plenty of recognition from the hous-
ing industry. The Ashton name is backed by 18 SAM Awards,
which celebrate the best projects in the Calgary home build-
ing industry, and six CHBA Alberta Awards of Excellence in
Housing.
“The Ashley”, Ashton’s very first show home in Cooper’s Cross-
ing, was the recipient of the 2006 SAMAward for Best Custom
Home. The following year, “The Giovanni” show home model
became a five-time SAM finalist. The year 2008 brought Ash-
ton more SAM awards. In addition to being a finalist for the
prestigious Ralph Scurfield Builder of the Year Award in 2009,
the company won two Best Custom Home Awards. But the
greatest highlight of that year was being recognized with its
very first Grand SAM Award for Builder of Merit (plus four
more Best Custom Home Awards).
