Victoria, BC - Fayze Contracting, a custom home builder and renovation specialist based in Victoria, has been awarded four Golds at the 2025 CARE Awards (Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence). Held annually, the CARE Awards celebrate outstanding residential construction and home renovations across Vancouver Island.
This year’s wins celebrate two standout projects - Shadow Ridge and Valley View - both completed in collaboration with long-time design partner, Spaciz Design Company, and architect Ron McNeil of McNeil Building Designs.
“Every home we build is a conversation between form and function, shaped by a shared commitment to detail,” says Graeme Connelly, Owner and Director of Fayze Contracting. “To have that collaboration recognized - especially with design partners we trust deeply - is a proud moment for our entire team.”
