The Build

From Foundation to Finish — Students Build Every Trade

The course covers every phase of residential construction. Students don't observe — they measure, cut, fasten, and inspect. By the end, they have built a complete, certified tiny home on wheels.

Structural Framing

Students lay out, cut, and assemble wall, floor, and roof framing from real lumber — learning load paths and code-compliant construction along the way.

Electrical & Plumbing Rough-In

Teams run wiring, install outlets, and rough-in plumbing lines — building the practical skills most vocational programs never cover.

Exterior Cladding & Roofing

Sheathing, housewrap, siding, and roofing installation give students a complete understanding of the building envelope and weather-tightness.

Interior Finish Work

Insulation, vapor barrier, trim, and finish carpentry round out the build — leaving students with a move-in-ready structure they built from scratch.

How It Works

Four Steps from Inquiry to Certified Build

01

Your School Inquires

Tell us about your program, your student body, and your available space. We'll confirm the course is a fit and walk you through the logistics — no obligation.

02

We Plan the Build Together

We work with your instructors and administrators to schedule the course, arrange materials delivery, and align the curriculum with your academic calendar.

03

Students Build On-Site

The course runs at your facility. Expert guidance is included — your students frame walls, run systems, and finish the structure over the course of the program.

04

Certified Completion

Students who complete the course receive a certification recognizing their hands-on construction training. The finished tiny home stays with your school.

Who It's For

Built for Schools and Organizations That Want Real Outcomes

High Schools

Give CTE students a build that matters

Career and Technical Education programs gain a capstone project that bridges classroom theory with real-world construction. Students graduate with documented, hands-on building skills that stand out to employers and trade apprenticeship programs.

Community Colleges

A workforce credential your students can hold

Construction trades programs get a project-based course that produces a tangible, certifiable outcome. The finished home becomes a campus demonstration piece — and evidence of what your program delivers.

Workforce Programs

Retrain workers with construction skills in demand

Workforce development and re-entry organizations can offer a structured building course with a verified credential. Participants gain practical construction experience across multiple trades in a single program.

The Outcome

Students finish with something most adults never build: a complete home.

The tiny home produced in each course is a real, road-legal structure — not a mock-up, not a model. It demonstrates what your program can deliver, and what your students are capable of.
