CONSTRUCTION, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
PROJECTS IN DEMAND
Many contractors continue to experience substantial demand from a growing number of mega-projects.
SHORTAGE OF 546K WORKERS
Construction workforce shortage tops half a million in 2023 and the problem won't disappear in the near future.
LACK OF PROPER SKILL
Too few younger workers are entering the skilled trades, meaning it's not just a labor shortage, but also a skills shortage.
Our Short Term Goals

Sold Tiny Homes
Our mission is to empower and equip local high school students in East Henderson with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in the trades industry.
Starting in August, we will launch our inaugural program, where high school seniors will have the opportunity to construct a Tiny Home in our 25,000 square foot facility.
We aim to inspire the next generation of skilled workers and contribute to their personal and professional growth. Together, we are building a foundation for success in the trades industry and creating a brighter future for our community.
