Benchmark – A standard by which something can be measured or judged. That name was chosen very carefully by the founders of Benchmark Homes, as it reflects the core beliefs and values of a company that pushes the limits in order to take their customers’ needs and wishes to the next level.

If WestView Builders were to be known for but one thing, it would be their philosophy of giving the customer much more for the base price that they could ever expect.

Homes by Avi was started in 1978 by Avi Amir in Calgary. Twenty years later, with the help of lasting relationships built with their customers, Homes by Avi expanded into Edmonton, where they now have 22 show homes in operation. The 1998 expansion into Edmonton gradually opened up a new frontier in 2005 – Austin, Texas – after a brief stint in Spokane, Washington. The Austin business is now on a steady growth path even though the competition is tough, but the lessons learnt in Spokane have been invaluable to the success of the Austin branch. Homes by Avi’s headquarters and all corporate activities still reside in the founding city of Calgary.
