About the Annual AvidCX Awards
This prestigious honor, historically presented by Avid Ratings and now part of ECI, recognizes top-performing builders for delivering outstanding customer experiences, with winners selected in both the United States and Canada.
Each year, the AvidCX awards recognize homebuilders with the highest customer experience scores, based on survey results from major public builders, leading private firms, and custom and small-volume builders. Using its proprietary AvidCX™ platform to analyze every homebuyer survey and calculate overall scores, the award recognizes builders who rank within or above the top 25th percentile of their peers.
