We need passionate, skilled, and dedicated individuals like you to join our Construction Committee and be a part of making these dreams a reality.
If you enjoy working with your hands, have a passion for construction, or just want to make a tangible difference in your community, the Construction Committee is the perfect place for you!
What Is the Construction Committee?
The Construction Committee plays a pivotal role in all things related to building and repairing homes for families in need. Our committee members work alongside skilled construction staff, volunteers, and Habitat partner families to complete new home builds, home repair projects, and other community-based construction initiatives. Your work directly contributes to the foundation of a family’s future—providing them with a safe, secure, and affordable home.
What Does the Construction Committee Do?
Our Construction Committee is responsible for overseeing and coordinating various construction projects, both new homes and repairs, throughout Fayette County. Here’s a closer look at the types of projects you’ll be involved in:
New Home Construction
Building new homes is at the heart of what we do at Fayette County Habitat for Humanity. As a member of the Construction Committee, you’ll be involved in the planning, organizing, and execution of building homes from the ground up. You’ll have the opportunity to work on everything from site preparation and foundation pouring to framing, roofing, and finishing. Whether you’re a seasoned construction professional or someone eager to learn, you’ll play a key role in providing a safe, affordable home to a family in need.
Home Repair Projects
In between new home builds, we also help homeowners who need repairs to maintain their homes. This includes everything from exterior paint jobs and roof repairs to fixing broken windows and doors. Home repairs are an essential part of our mission to provide stability to families, helping them stay in their homes longer and live in safe conditions. As a member of the Construction Committee, you’ll coordinate these repair efforts and help ensure that families who need them get the help they deserve.
Community Projects
In addition to individual home builds and repairs, the Construction Committee also plays a key role in community-wide projects. Whether it’s assisting with the development of a new subdivision or helping out with public service projects, community construction initiatives allow us to expand our impact even further. These projects also foster collaboration among local businesses, faith groups, and volunteers, creating a sense of community involvement and shared responsibility for improving our neighborhood.
