Big 50 Achievement Award
 he
Big50 is a remodeling business
excellence award for best practices.
Every May, REMODELING inducts 50 new
companies who have set the standard
for professionalism and integrity
through smart marketing, exemplary
business practices, unique design,
and extraordinary impact on their
community or the industry at large.
Big50 remodelers run successful,
growing companies of various sizes
that have taken the lead in raising
the standards of the industry. To
date, more than 1,000 remodelers who
have demonstrated such excellence
can boast being a member of the
Big50.
Nominations
The selection process begins in
November and December, when we ask
all of our editors and columnists
for nominations. We also ask for
suggestions from the leadership of
NARI and the NAHB Remodelers
Council, along with leaders in
larger chapters of these
associations. Typically, these
sources generate an initial list of
about 300 names.
Making the Picks
Once we've received nominations -
typically between 300 and 350 names
-- the editorial staff goes to work
narrowing the field. Companies
nominated by more than one source
are strong candidates, as are
companies who get strong
recommendations from their peers. We
talk with a variety of people at the
companies themselves, and to their
competitors, clients, suppliers, and
subcontractors. Big50 contractors
must meet industry standards of
operating excellence, and must
measure up to certain financial
benchmarks.
After all this research is complete,
the REMODELING editorial staff
selects 50 remodelers who exemplify
the very best of the industry and
have something to offer other
remodelers in proven practices.
Winners are matched to one of the
following categories:
- Business Savvy: remodelers
with effective, established
business systems
- Fine Design: remodelers with
high aesthetic standards for
their projects
- Industry Impact: remodelers
who have taken an active
leadership role in industry
building activities
- Market Wise: remodelers who
have built their business around
a keen understanding of the
market they serve
- Movers & Shakers: larger
remodeling companies that
aggressively expand their market
share
- Niches: remodelers who have
built successful companies
serving an easily overlooked but
profitable corner of the market
Over the years, Big50 has become
a tightly-knit community of more
than 1,000 remodelers who return
regularly to the Remodeling
Leadership Conference, a two-day
series of seminars that include the
awards banquet at which the current
winners are announced. One of the
most valuable side benefits of
selection to the Big50 is the
opportunity to build relationships
with other winners, many of whom
keep in touch with each other
throughout the year.
In the end, the name "Big50" is
something of a misnomer, since the
awards have little to do with a
company's size. The award recognizes
excellence and leadership, and the
companies who belong to this select
group set an example for the rest of
the industry.
