Fernie home builder David Hozjan of Elk River Mountain Homes has been recognized as a Master Residential Builder through the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, a professional designation that reflects a commitment to education, ethical practice, and high standards in residential construction.

For homeowners, this kind of recognition matters. Building or renovating a home is one of the largest investments most people will ever make. In Fernie and the Elk Valley, where mountain conditions, custom design, energy performance, durability, and trust all play an important role, professional standards help give clients confidence in who they choose to work with.

CHBA designations recognize builders and residential construction professionals who meet education requirements and uphold a strong Code of Ethics. The designation is a trusted mark of experience, credibility, and ongoing commitment to the industry.

Hozjan’s recognition as a Master Residential Builder is a positive acknowledgement for Elk River Mountain Homes and for Fernie’s residential construction community. Local builders do more than construct houses. They support trades, shape neighbourhoods, contribute to the local economy, and help define how the community grows.

Congratulations to David Hozjan and Elk River Mountain Homes on this professional achievement.
