Maverick Awards - 2025 Finalists

We are proud to recognize four trailblazing builder-members as winners of the inaugural Maverick Awards—to be announced on March 26! They are the independent thinkers who see things differently—enthusiastic adopters of energy performance and sustainable building—ahead of market demand, ahead of regulation, and ahead of the competition.
