Each year the Tarion Warranty Corporation recognizes the best builders across Ontario. To determine the award recipients for 2010 a survey was sent to more than 38,000 new home buyers that took possession of a home last year. More than 9,000 responses were received and the results were then tabulated by Harris/Decima and Crunch Research. Questions covered every stage of the homeowner-builder relationship: from the signing of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, through construction and the pre-delivery period, to after-sales service.

There are currently more than 5,500 registered builders in the province, the majority of which are small volume (which Tarion defines as having between 5 and 20 possessions in the last 12 months). Of this small volume group, 394 builders successfully passed the initial screen process to be considered for the Tarion Awards and in March, 2010 Clancy Builders Ltd. was declared the overall winner.
The Tarion Awards of Excellence are the only awards that recognize Ontario home builders exclusively for their customer service performance.
