ABOUT

NHHBA_Logonew-removebg-preview.png

The NH Home Builders Association has been presenting the NH Cornerstone Awards for the last 36 years to the best in residential construction here in NH. Now, for our 35th anniversary, we are revamping the program, and elevating the prestige that comes with winning a Cornerstone Awards. In order to increase the level of competition, we have slimmed down the number of categories and removed silver and bronze winners. By winning a Cornerstone Award, you will be able to show your customers that you are one of the best Home Builders or Remodelors in NH.

We have also breathed new life into our award ceremony. We have raised our standards and will be hosting a evening cocktail party you will not want to miss. Click on the "Reception" tab to read more.

PHOTO GUIDE

You are allowed to submit any photos of your project that you would like to use for the Cornerstone Awards. However, we recommend that you use a real camera and/or a professional photographer to capture your work. Appearance and craftmanship are part of the judging process, and better photos show off that better. Here are some other tips and notes on your photos:

  • You are allowed to use square, horizontal, or vertical photos, BUT, vertical photos will not be used in by the NH Home Builders when displaying your project. 

  • If you are taking photographs of a part of a project that uses a lot of glass, try to take the photo at an angle that minimized reflections (especially of the photographer!)

  • Make sure you have good lighting for your photos
