VIREB’s 2011 Commercial Building Awards Chair, Jay Cousins said the quality of entries were simply outstanding.
“The interest in our Commercial Building Awards has been well received again this year. The calibre of workmanship and design is setting a standard for Vancouver Island that would be the envy of any area in the country!”
