Construction

Habitat for Humanity is perhaps best known for its volunteers on the construction site. What people don’t know is that the people you see on the site are a combination of volunteer and paid participants. Some are skilled and others… not so much.

As a recognized builder we are subject to all of the same standards as any builder in our community. We must have licensed trades people ­– carpenters, plumbers, HVAC and electricians.  We are the benefactors of assistance from trade unions, technical schools, colleges and a variety of builders who help by offering their staff and individual trades people who volunteer their expertise.

It true that many hands make light work. We benefit from legions of unskilled volunteers who come to the site with a willingness to learn and determination to contribute whatever they can, under the supervision of our Site Superintendant and experienced Team Leaders.

Whatever your skill level you can make a contribution and enjoy the feeling of community that is the hallmark of a Habitat for Humanity build site. You can even contribute on the site in non-construction roles.
