Our Charitable Construction Program Consists of 3 Project Levels

TURN KEY PROJECTS -   the goal of this basic program is to make it easier for nonprofits to complete small projects – usually with only one trade - by offering resources and funding to help get them done quickly. 
CLASSIC PROJECTS -   our standard mid-level projects are typically more comprehensive than Turn Key Projects, are valued at a higher level, and take more time to complete. For a classic project, we typically engage a builder, suppliers and subs and secure in-kind discounts of labor and materials to get projects completed.
MARQUEE PROJECTS - Our top-level marquee projects have more visibility, a longer timeframe, and are much more complex. These types of projects sometimes span a year or two. Often there is predevelopment work and multiple stakeholders.

Our Standard Charitable Construction Process

Our typical process for undertaking classic and marquee projects:

• On an ongoing basis, non-profit organizations submit inquiries and applications for project assistance.
• Potential projects are assessed by staff, our project selection committee, and the HBCF Board of Directors.
• If needed, HBCF may provide pre-development technical assistance and other levels of support to help move the project forward.
• When a project is officially adopted, HBCF recruits a Builder Captain and/or Trade Partners to help lead the project.
• HBCF works with the Builder Captain to secure donated labor, materials and related construction development services from trade partners.
• A construction agreement is put in place outlining the agreed-upon scope of work for each project as well as any funding commitments and other expectations. Once in place, the HBCF team is able to begin mobilization.
• The HBCF board and staff serves as the liaison between agencies and the building industry throughout the process.​
• HBCF provides project management services and administrative support to projects as required.
• In partnership with agencies, we help promote both the project and the volunteer efforts of our builders and trade partners.

Because every construction project has its own challenges, this model is made to be adaptable and flexible.
