Wisconsin Builders Association Names 2026 Badger Craftsman Award Winners
Winners Represent Exceptional Craftsmanship from Every Corner of Wisconsin – From Eagle River and Elkhart Lake to Racine, Wisconsin Dells to Green Bay
July 1, 2026 – The Wisconsin Builders Association (WBA) is proud to announce the winners of the 2026 Badger Craftsman Awards, sponsored by On3 AI, recognizing excellence in residential construction and design across Wisconsin. Now in its fifth year, the annual program highlights the remarkable innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication of WBA members who are committed to building safe, accessible, and inspiring homes for Wisconsin residents. Winners were honored June 24 at WBA’s Celebration of Housing at The Edgewater Hotel in Madison.
Members from across the state submitted their top projects in a variety of categories, showcasing the best in homebuilding—from creative outdoor living spaces to multi-family development. Winners were determined through public voting, with nearly 8,200 votes cast across the award categories during a one-month voting period.
“These awards shine a spotlight on the skill, creativity, and innovation of our members,” said WBA Executive Director Brad Boycks. “We are honored to recognize their efforts and continued leadership in advancing the building industry throughout Wisconsin.”
