Schneider Construction Wins 2025 HBAV Innovation Project of the Year

June 21, 2025

We are thrilled to announce that Schneider Construction, LLC has been honored with the 2025 Innovation Project of the Year Award by the Home Builders Association of Virginia (HBAV).

This prestigious recognition celebrates forward-thinking design, construction excellence, and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in residential building. For our team at Schneider Construction, it affirms our unwavering dedication to crafting high-performance homes  that are as sustainable and durable as they are beautiful.


What Made This Project Stand Out?


The award-winning project, located on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, exemplifies our core values:performance, precision, and people-first design. From the foundation to the final finishes, every decision was made with long-term durability, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort in mind.

Key innovations included:

  • Advanced framing and insulation techniques to exceed ENERGY STAR and IECC benchmarks
  • Continuous air barrier systems and blower door-tested performance under 1.0 ACH50
  • Smart mechanical design featuring ERVs, mini-split HVAC, and zoning tailored for lifestyle and load
  • Low-embodied carbon material selection to reduce environmental impact
  • Custom design-build collaboration that allowed homeowners to co-create a space that met their unique vision—without compromise


This home is not just beautiful—it performs. It stands as a model for how thoughtful design and building science can come together to enhance both quality of life and long-term value.


A Win for Innovation—and Our Clients


Winning the HBAV Innovation Project of the Year is more than a trophy on the shelf. It’s a reminder that when we embrace innovation, collaborate closely with clients, and build with intention, we create homes that truly make a difference.


We’re grateful to HBAV for recognizing our work, and to our clients for trusting us to build something exceptional. We also want to thank our trade partners, vendors, and the entire Schneider Construction team for their skill, dedication, and commitment to excellence every step of the way.


The Future of Building is Here


At Schneider Construction, we believe the future of homebuilding lies in smarter construction, healthier living environments, and enduring quality. This award fuels our mission to keep leading in that direction.

If you're looking to build a home that performs as beautifully as it looks, we’d love to connect. Let’s create something groundbreaking together.
