About Applied Construction Technology
Build homes for local families, work with professionals and learn all aspects of the construction field. Begin with house plans and framing and end with custom cabinetry, exterior decks and interior finishes. A new partnership with Habitat for Humanity will bring "Net-Zero" concepts of alternative energy/sustainability to our work, as well as give the satisfaction of creating a home for a new homeowner and family.
Key Highlights
- Work on an actual home site every day
- Operate a full range of portable and stationary power tools
- Learn the entire start-to-finish process of home building
